Researchers at Mila and IVADO introduce a new neurocomputational model of the human brain that could bridge the gap in understanding AI and the biological mechanisms underlying mental disorders. CONTENU - A new study introduces a new neurocomputational model of the human brain that could shed light on how the brain develops complex cognitive abilities and advance neural artificial intelligence research.

Two comic strips raise awareness of the impact of climate change on migration and health. 15-year-old Ciara lives on the West Island of Montreal and her house has been flooding in recent years.

Doctors could soon have a new tool to detect disorders and illnesses such as pneumonia, Alzheimer's and autism, thanks to a Canada-U.S. database of human voices to which UdeM is contributing. Artificial intelligence may soon help doctors diagnose and treat diseases, including cancer and depression, based on the sound of a patient's voice, as 12 leading research institutions - including Université de Montréal - work to establish voice as a biomarker to be used in clinical care.

Malik Chaker-Margot, a scientist with a knack for explaining complex concepts in lay terms, returns to his alma mater to teach in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine.

It's one thing to innovate and find better ways to get healthy, eco-friendly and sustainable foods to consumers - and quite another to understand what leads there, an UdeM study finds. Innovations that make the food supply chain more "responsible" - eco-friendly, good for public health, fairer to farmers - will come faster if the contexts that set the stage for them are better understood, according to a new Université de Montréal study.

As Montreal develops a new urban planning and mobility plan, a participatory action-research project gives teenagers a chance to express their vision of their city and of their role as citizens throu.

Showing how precise it can be, the James Webb Space Telescope detects the first definitive carbon dioxide signature in an exoplanet atmosphere.

The newly minted Millénium Québecor team is working to create a distinctive entrepreneurship support program.

A psychology researcher shows that a rhythmic video game can have beneficial effects on the motor skills of people living with Parkinson's disease. Could tapping on a cell phone to the beat of music improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson's disease? Simone Dalla Bella, a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Montreal and co-director of the International Laboratory for Brain, Music and Sound Research (BRAMS), suspected it might.

Medical students who leave the big city gain freedom and quality of life. Young physicians up for a challenge find practicing in a small town can be a diverse, friendly and creative experience. Many of them left the city with the intention of returning.

Measures of morning salivary cortisol show that children experience stress when starting kindergarten. It's normal. The transition to kindergarten causes a generalized and normal increase in the stress hormone cortisol in children during the first two weeks of school. Cortisol levels then decrease in some children but not others.

A raft of initiatives over the past 20 years testifies to growing interest in preserving Quebec's bungalows.

British scientist Duncan Haldane, co-recipient of a Nobel prize in physics in 2016, is here for an international conference on conformal field theories and quantum 'many-body" physics.

With the help of instruments designed partly in Canada, a team of Université de Montréal astronomers have discovered an exoplanet that could be completely covered in water.
