What an illusion involving a fake hand can tell us about our mind-body connection

People who have a weaker sense of self are also more likely to have less bodily awareness, McGill researchers have found. The study supports the idea that people’s perceptions of themselves and how they experience their own bodies are deeply connected.

Blood proteins flag multiple sclerosis years before diagnosis, opening a window for prevention

Of more than 2,500 blood proteins screened, a small group may drive MS and signal who will develop it

A new study has revealed a group of blood proteins that are altered in people who go on to develop multiple sclerosis (MS), in some cases more than a decade before diagnosis. The findings offer hope that a simple blood test could one day identify people at high risk of MS in time to act before damage occurs.

Research findings challenge long-held assumptions about how we learn or regain speech

Learning to speak a new language, or regaining speech, depends more on areas of the brain that process sound and physical sensation than on the parts of the brain that govern motor control, according to new research findings. 

The study, by researchers at McGill University and the Yale School of Medicine, has implications for speech-learning theory and for the development of speech processing and recognition technologies.
