Currently, surgeons rely on where a radiologist has preoperatively placed a blob of dye or a fine wire to know where a tumour is and where to cut.

In 2041, 10 million Canadians will be aged 65 and over. With this aging explosion will come a surge in the number of people living with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias, and the cognitive aftershocks of stroke. This pushes neurosciences researchers Drs. Sandra Black and Simon Graham to test relentlessly the edge of possibility in their work.
