Neuropathology in Canada: overview of development and current status.

Marc R MR Del Bigio and Edward S ES Johnson

Can J Neurol Sci 37(2):206-12 (2010) PMID 20437930

The expansion of neurosurgery and neurology in Montreal and Toronto in the early 20th century was th stimulus for the development of neuropathology in Canada. Rooted in the disciplines of the neurosciences and laboratory medicine, neuropathology evolved into an independent discipline with the founding of the Canadian Association of Neuropathologists in 1960, and the recognition as a specialty by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada in 1965, fostering the development of several successful training programs. Nonetheless, a paucity of data remains concerning the background of training, scopes of practice, and career paths.

    We found that sensory-independent electrical activity controls synaptic maturation in IHCs. We used a mouse model in which the potassium channel SK2 is normally overexpressed, but can be modulated in vivo using doxycycline. SK2 overexpression affected the frequency and duration of spontaneous action...
