There is a lot of excellent neuroscience research being done in many places in Canada. McGill is strong—I thank you for mentioning that—but so are universities in Toronto, Calgary, Halifax and many other places.
Over the past years, two things have happened.
One is that the Canadian Association for Neuroscience was created and has become a unifying force, with a very active meeting every year. It includes everybody who does neuroscience in Canada who wants to be part of it.
The second is something called the CBRS, the Canadian Brain Research Strategy group, which brings together at least 30 different institutions that are involved in neuroscience research in Canada. We meet regularly. We talk about the issues we have in common and what we need to do. Collaborations are established and many of the different researchers work together. I would say it is a very close group that works a lot together and works well together.
