The Geddes Lab for Motivational Neuromedicine
Our Lab is a highly translational cognitive neuroscience research program at the Neuro and McGill focused on understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying motivational resilience and vulnerability in aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
- We apply these findings to help older adults lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
- Our research combines cutting-edge behavioural, multi-modal neuroimaging techniques, wearable technology and computational methods.
- We design and implement innovative behavioural clinical trials with the goal of enhancing healthy lifestyle engagement in aging for personalized dementia prevention.

Funding
Our research is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Fonds de Recherche Santé Québec, the Canada Brain Research Fund, an arrangement between the Government of Canada through Health Canada and Brain Canada Foundation, the Alzheimer Society Research Program, the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, through the Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives initiative at McGill University, and the National Institutes of Health.
