Is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation a Useful Clinical Adjunct for Predicting Stroke Occurrence and Severity Following Transient Ischemic Attack?
A Prospective Cohort Study. The purpose of the proposed study is to determine if cortical motor excitability, measured using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), predicts the occurrence and severity of stroke after a motor system transient ischemic attack (TIA). Participants are being recruited from the TIA clinic at Vancouver General Hospital. Status: Recruitment ongoing Back to top of page Doing two things at once: How does age influence tasks which challenge both mobility and cognition? (Canadian Institute of Health Research) The aim of this study is to investigate how patterns of brain activation differ in older adults using functional magnetic resonance imaging while they are performing both a cognitively demanding and stepping task. We expect that understanding the neurobiological bases of dual task performance in older adults will facilitate the formulation of directed therapies designed to reduce falls during multitasking. Our ultimate goal is to test the assumption that pr
