Brain Imaging Biomarkers Type 2 Diabetes and Stroke
Adult onset diabetes, or type 2 diabetes, is becoming more common in Canada and across
the world. And it is a risk factor for stroke. For example, silent strokes lesions are common in
adults with type 2 diabetes. Despite this knowledge, we do not have a very good
understanding as to how type 2 diabetes affects the brain. We are proposing 2 internships
that will make use of magnetic resonance imaging to specifically address type 2 diabetes
effects in the brain. And we are also proposing new software tools that can be used to look at
brain connections, which is applicable to studying type 2 diabetes and stroke. Intern 1 will
focus on grey matter structure and blood vessels in the brain. Intern 2 will focus on grey
matter connections in the brain. Both internships involve developing software that will
facilitate clinical translation. In so doing we will foster collaboration between the intership site
(Baycrest) and the academic site (Sunnybrook)…….TBC
