Reproducible Neuroimaging in Sport Science: Understanding Microstructural Brain Changes in Sprinters Undergoing Intense Athletic Training
Although it is known that exercise is beneficial to neurological health, there is a lack of research focusing on structural brain adaptations in athletes undergoing intense training. While neuroplasticity is often studied in clinical populations or general aging cohorts, this project aims to specifically investigate sprinters to identify exercise-related microstructural changes in the brain. As reproducibility in neuroimaging remains a major challenge, this project also seeks to deliver a reproducible framework through Neurolibre, an innovative platform developed by the project’s home supervisor to support open and ethical science.
The collaboration between Juntendo University and Polytechnique Montréal will create a unique bridge between Canadian methodological expertise, via Neurolibre, and Japanese experimental strengths, through access to multidisciplinary research environment and an athletic study population.
