Brainstorm
Brainstorm tells the story of Alberta neuroscientists who revolutionized our understanding of the brain, developed prevention strategies for brain disorders, and established programs to improve brain health.
From the small town of Lethbridge, Alberta Drs. Ian Whishaw and Bryan Kolb published the first textbook ever written about the function of the human brain in 1980. This ground-breaking publication helped establish the foundations of neuroscience education on a global scale. While at the University of Lethbridge, Ian and Bryan recruited and mentored a group of scientists who collectively built a world class neuroscience research centre and founded the first neuroscience department in Canada. Their research resulted in the discovery of prevention and therapy strategies that help solve problems related to dementia, recovery from stroke, and developmental brain disorders, and led to the creation of community programs to improve brain health and brain development in children.
