The Geddes Lab for Motivational Neuromedicine
Our Lab is a 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 this new knowledge to design and implement interventions that enhance health behaviour adherence and advance personalized dementia prevention across the lifespan. To achieve these goals, we combine behavioural methods, brain imaging, wearable technology, computational techniques, and clinical trial design to promote brain health, mental wellbeing, and quality of life in aging.
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 Brain Heart Interconnectome and Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives initiatives at McGill University and the University of Ottawa, and the National Institutes of Health.
