Montreal Paris Neurobank
A resource created by healthy volunteers who wish to offer their time and data for advancing brain research and discovery.
An Open Science Initiative
The Montreal Paris NEUROBANK is part of The Neuro’s Open Science biobank, C-BIG. It collects samples, clinical data, imaging, and genetic information from volunteers with neurological diseases or healthy individuals as controls. These resources are shared openly with researchers worldwide, following The Neuro’s Open Science principles.
Home to cutting edge technology
In the past 40 years, McConnell Brain Imaging has introduced cutting-edge scanners, image processing software and neuroinformatic platforms for research. Our scientists have pioneered neuroimaging technologies that are globally used by neurologists, neurosurgeons and cognitive scientists.
What can we achieve?
The Montreal Paris NEUROBANK aims to provide access to advanced neuroimaging data collected with state-of-the-art technologies.
Creating Cutting-Edge Datasets
The legal and ethical framework at The Neuro allows for the anonymization and global sharing of multimodal and multispectral neuroimaging datasets with the brain research community.

Did you know that…
Two Nobel Prizes in Physics are given for the discovery of the MR.
These “scanning rhythms” sound like X.wav and Y.wav. These are magnetic pulses that are tuned to the property of hydrogen atoms in different tissues. Therefore, when those cells pick their specific music, they ‘sing back’ and help us detect the chemical, anatomical and physiological properties of the whole brain.
We do several scans because each MRI pulse is tuned to different tissue properties. This will help us create many atlases of the brain to guide future research.

Data collection
Our research project aims to collect data that will be grouped into four main categories : brain images, brain waves, behaviours, and blood.
Participate
You are between 8 and 85 years old?
You want to advance research on the brain?

Our team
The Montreal-Paris NEUROBANK project is led by Dr. Julien Doyon, Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University, and Dr. Stéphane Lehéricy, Head of Neuroradiology at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Sorbonne University. The project is managed by the Research Program Officer, Dr. Khalili-Mahani, alongside a specialized neuroimaging team. Faculty members in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill have designed and will oversee research and data-sharing.
