What an exciting three days at the Heart-Brain Connection Summer School! So much was learned from bringing people from across Canada together in the first – but definitely not last – event of this kind. Organizers met and exceeded the goal of starting a movement of interdisciplinary inter-organ system science and clinical translation. And, participating trainees are on a path to collaboration and commitment to heart-brain research — helping to show their mentors the way.
CanStroke Recovery Trials and StrokeCog were among sponsors of this important event, held at the University of Ottawa from August 16 to 18.
