To kick off the new SYNERGIES programme at Perron Institute, Principal investigator and brain plasticity superstar Professor Jennifer Roger takes the PLEX-RPs through a brief overview of what she is researching and why

The idea that your brain is separated into two havles, each one having a monopoly on creativity or analysis, has entered the vernacular.

Gizmos on the head and machines that go beep? Before the team begin to define their roles in the research project, everyone needs to know what rTMS is all about.

Having already established that the PLEX - Research Partners won’t be the ones having their brains ‘zapped’, who exactly will be included in the upcoming clinical trial and how do they qualify?

In the previous episode we heard about the mechanics of receiving rTMS treatment but how exactly does flooding the brain with a magentic field change the way we think?

In an effort to clarify the mechanism behind rTMS and how much it relies on brain plasticity, Alynka identified the good connections without bringing the bad along with you.

A brain scanner is a very serious piece of scientific kit with a massive price ticket beyond that of mere mortals - but, as the holidays approach, the SYNERGIES rTMS gang are hoping for something special in their stockings...

One of the key considerations of rTMS therapy is the individual treatment duration and the overall period of treatment required to effectively alleviate symptoms. In this video it’s time for some timely advice

To help the rTMS team get a clearer picture of the process at the heart of the research project, a quick tour of the equipment involved is in order and a chance to lift the laboratory curtain

One of the important aspects of all research is to measure the “real” against the “fake” and rTMS is no different. So just how do you make it seem like everyone is eating the same treatment when part of it.

As the rTMS team prepare to do a hands on dry run to demonstrate the process, they ask is this treatment or research?

The SYNERGIES Research Partners squirm a little as the Principal Investigator Professor Jenny Roger reveals her favourite room….and her passion for living brain cells.
