| MRI, FLAIR, DWI, QRM, SWI | Colchicine for the Prevention of Vascular Events after an Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage (CoVasc-ICH) – Optional MRI Sub-study. CoVasc-ICH Optional MRI Sub-Study enrolls interested participants from the main CoVasc-ICH study. This sub-study will try to determine the effects of colchicine on perihematomal edema formation and remote diffusion weighted imaging lesions on MRI. | Thalia Field | Vancouver Stroke Program | 2022 |
| MRI, rs-fMRI, fMRI, MWI, SWI, DTI | Mechanisms of non-invasive brain stimulation as a treatment option for patients with Parkinson's (All-Dressed). In this study, Parkinson’s Disease subjects perform a simple motor task, while they receive subthreshold Electrical Vestibular Stimulation (EVS), and we simultaneously record motor vigour, fMRI and EEG. Different “calibration” stimuli will be delivered in the scanner, and the resultant recordings will be used to train a model to predict vigour from an arbitrary set of stimulation parameters. Precision designed EVS will be later tested outside of the scanner to see if this results in clinically-relevant enhancements in motor task performance. | Martin McKeown | Neurology | 2022 |
| MRI, ASL, DWI, DTI, SWI, MWI | (ACQUIRE) Feasibility of multi-domain data acquisition in patients at risk for hypoxic-ischemic brain injury following cardiac arrest: a cohort study. The ACQUIRE study designed to assess the feasibility data collection in multiple domains (Cerebral Blood Flow using transcranial Doppler, biomarkers of neurologic injury, electroencephalography and neuroimaging). In addition, we are seeking to determine the feasibility of clinical outcome assessment and neuroimaging at 6-months. | Don Griesdale (with Will Panenka) | Dept. of Medicine, Anaesthesiology | 2022 |
| MRI, FLAIR, ASL, rs-fMRI, DTI, SWI | FCD - Memory after Concussion 2.0. This study aims to advance our understanding of why memory problems often persist after concussion, after the brain has seemingly healed. We will be collecting MRI data to confirm that memory complaints after concussion are not directly related to measures of traumatic brain pathology, including corpus callosum white matter integrity and microbleeds. Using resting state fMRI, we will also investigate functional connectivity between the salience network and memory system in the brain in individuals with memory complaints after concussion and those without such complaints to determine whether differences between groups are observable at the level of brain function. | Noah Silverberg | Psychology | 2022 |
| MRI, FLAIR, DTI (MDD), Spectro - single voxel, QRM (MWI) | Prediction of Cognitive and Motor Symptom Progression in Multiple Sclerosis Using Myelin Imaging. A.K.A: Longitudinal Observation of Brain and Spinal cord T2 Relaxation – Brief Interlude Subsequent Quantitative Evaluation (LOBSTR BISQUE). In this study, we will ask our previous volunteers with MS to return 4 years after their original visit so we can collect additional physical, cognitive and myelin MRI data. We will explore whether the amount of myelin at the beginning of the study can predict changes in disability. We will also use new MRI tools to determine what other biological changes, in addition to myelin damage, are linked to progression. Understanding the link between biological changes (in particular myelin) and physical and cognitive changes will allow these more specific imaging methods to be used in clinical trials trying to slow myelin damage and progression. | Shannon Kolind | MS & NMO Clinical Trials Group | 2022 |
| MRI, FLAIR Novel optimized ultrashort echo time multiband hydrogen pulse sequences | Radiofrequency Pulse and Pulse Sequence Design for Accelerated Sodium Magnetic Resonance Imaging. While MRI excels at for detailed images of soft tissue lesions, including those due to traumatic brain injury, it difficult to use MRI to characterize damage to the bone. Ultrashort echo time (UTE) pulse sequences enable the acquisition of signal from tissues with short T2 relaxation time, but they overall scan times tend to be very long due to inefficiencies elsewhere in the sequence. This work aims to develop novel, optimized RF pulse sequences by employing novel MB prepulses. | Rebecca Feldman | Physics & Astronomy | 2022 |

| MRI, 3 PLANE | A randomized, open label, multi-center, active-comparator study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ofatumumab 20mg sc monthly versus continued current therapy in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis after elevation of serum neurofilament light levels (SOSTOS). Novartis This study will evaluate if relapsing-remitting MS patients that have not had a relapse in the past year would benefit from a switch to ofatumumab versus staying on their continued current therapy. This study will also look at whether an elevated serum neurofilament light (NfL) level predicts enhanced benefit from a switch to ofatumumab. | Alice Schabas | MS & NMO Clinical Trials Group | 2022 |
| MRI, DTI, ihMT | Advanced MRI techniques to measure spinal cord microstructure in vivo: development and reproducibility. This study involves testing advanced MRI techniques (myelin water imaging, inhomogeneous magnetization transfer and diffusion imaging) to measure changes in the spinal cord after spinal cord injury. In this first stage we will optimize these techniques for spinal cord scanning on our 3T scanner and determine reproducibility for white and grey matter regions of interest. | Corree Laule | ICORD/ MRI Research Centre | 2022 |
| MRI | A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Dose Range Finding Study with Open-Label Extension to Evaluate the Safety. Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of LMI070/branaplam when Administered as Weekly Oral Doses in Participants with Early Manifest Huntington's Disease. | Blair Leavitt | Centre for Huntington Disease | 2022 |
| MRI, DWI, FLAIR, | A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, 76-Week Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Two Doses of Simufilam in Subjects with Mild-to Moderate Alzheimer’s Disease. This study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of simufilam with those in placebo, in participants who are diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease. Simufilam is an oral drug meant to restore the normal shape and function of a brain protein called filamin A (FLNA). In patients with Alzheimer disease, the shape of FLNA is distorted. This triggers toxic signaling beta amyloid, and ultimately results in brain cell degeneration and inflammation. | Robin Hsiung | Neurology | 2022 |
| MRI, DWI, DTI, FLAIR, rs-fMRI, ASL | Roche WN42444 study: A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Parallel-Group, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of Gantenerumab In Participants At Risk For Or At The Earliest Stages Of Alzheimer’s Disease. People who have elevated brain amyloid levels may be at risk for or at the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease because they have signs of one of two core pathologies of Alzheimer’s disease (abeta amyloid or herein simply “amyloid”), although they do not have symptoms. The purpose of Study WN42444 is to compare the effects, good or bad, of gantenerumab with those of placebo in participants who are cognitively unimpaired and have elevated levels of amyloid protein in the brain. Gantenerumab is a man-made antibody that attaches to amyloid in the brain and mobilizes the immune system to remove it. | Robin Hsiung | Neurology | 2022 |
| MRI, tb-fMRI | Transfer of Valence - fMRI equipment testing. Prior work suggests that emotion not only alters memory for emotional content per se but can also alter memory for and attitudes towards associated experiences, a process known as transfer of valence. The neural correlates of these effects, however, have yet to be thoroughly investigated. To help us gain a better understanding of how emotion affects transfer of valence, we will ask participants to study pairs of images: one object (always neutral) and one scene (negative or neutral). We will then have participants complete a test phase where they will rate the pleasantness of the neutral objects followed by a memory task to determine memory for the pairings in each condition (negative vs. neutral). | Daniela Palombo | Psychology | 2022 |
| 3-point Dixon; Proton spectroscopy | Sexual dimorphism in physiological and bioenergetic responses to aerobic exercise. Physical activity is a necessity for healthy living and dependent on the delivery of oxygen to the working muscles to generate energy. Our understanding of the body’s response to physical activity has primarily been characterized using the “typical 70-kg man”, yet substantial sex-differences in the lungs, heart, blood vessels, blood, and muscle may lead men and women to use different mechanisms to deliver oxygen and produce energy during activity. Our study will investigate these differences with a focus on various muscle characteristics including quantity, structure, fibre type, and respiratory capacity. | Robert Boushel | Kinesiology/ Fac. Of Education | 2022 |
| MRI, DTI, rs-fMRI | Left intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation vs. Right Low Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Effectiveness in Depression and Suicidal Ideation: A Randomized Non-Inferiority Trial (Left vs. Right Non-Inferiority Trial - LeRNIT). MDD poses a great economic burden on the health care system due to its long-term disability with a low ability to participate in everyday activities. We aim to understand the mechanism of action of rTMS in clinical practice, improve the targeting of this treatment avenue using functional MRI scans, and investigate novel markers, such as heart rate variability, as an indication of treatment response. https://ninet.med.ubc.ca/research/ | Fidel Vila-Rodriguez | Psychiatry | 2021 |

| MRI, tb-fMRI | Emotional Localization. We want to investigate how emotional distractions around us can influence how we see and interact with other non-emotional objects arounds us. Specifically, we want to understand information presented to different senses (e.g., vision, audition) impacts our spatial awareness of the environment. We will utilize specialized behavioral tasks and powerful MRI scanners to help us uncover the underlying patterns of brain activity that guides our attention and action when we are emotionally stimulated. | Rebecca Todd | Psychology | 2021 |
| MRI, rs-fMRI, fMRI | Adapt and Avoid – fMRI. Altered patterns of avoidance behaviours – which entail taking or withholding action to prevent unpleasant outcomes – are a feature of anxiety and depression; however, we only have a limited understanding of the neural circuits that underpin these behaviours. To address this gap in the literature, we adapt an rodent-based investigation of the neural correlates of avoidance behaviours into a human context (in which participants must learn which stimuli are associated with the need to make or withhold a series of button presses in order to avoid an unpleasant outcome). In particular, we focus on the neural representations of stimuli that signal the appropriate avoidance response to be made and the aversive or neutral outcome of the response to these stimuli. | Rebecca Todd | Psychology | 2021 |
| MRI, rs-fMRI, tb-fMRI | Cannabis and Polysubstance Use: Imaging Response Inhibition and Stress Exposure (CAPU RISE). Most stimulant users also use cannabis. The majority of cannabis users report stress reduction and coping motives for their use; however, there remains little biological evidence of cannabis reducing acute stress. This randomized control clinical drug trial employs a range of methods including biosampling, self-reports, actigraphy, and neuroimaging to examine the effects of cannabinoids on stress response, inhibition, and sleep in cannabis and stimulant co-users. | Christian Schütz | Psychiatry | 2021 |

| MRI, DTI, SWI, ASL, Perfusion | TRIC-VSI. Trial of Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Vascular Cognitive Impairment. People with mild vascular cognitive impairment are prone to having little strokes, which can cause changes in cognition over time. Currently there are no treatments for mild vascular cognitive impairment that are approved by Health Canada. This study investigates whether Remote Ischemic Conditioning (cutting off blood flow to a limb temporarily without causing tissue damage) can be implemented successfully by patients, and whether it will improve cognition, brain imaging and blood markers. | Thalia Field | Neurology | 2020 |
| MRI, rs-fMRI, tb-fMRI | Modulating interhemispheric inhibition after stroke. The aim of this work is to identify biomarkers to predict who will respond to interventions involving inhibitory brain stimulation after stroke, and generate new knowledge related to our understanding of the mechanisms of inhibitory brain stimulation. While inhibitory brain stimulation shows promise in promoting recovery after stroke when paired with motor practice, its response is variable: we do not know how stroke-related factors influence its subsequent impact on motor-related brain activity. By employing task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging pre and post stimulation, the current study will examine the impact of inhibitory brain stimulation on motor-related brain activity after stroke. | Lara Boyd / Sarah Kraeutner | Physical Therapy | 2020 |

Our study aims to enhance our understanding of the impact of Familial Hypdercholesterolemia on tendon health; a highly under-researched area of significant clinical importance. With the use of non-invasive techniques, we aim to examine various determinants of tendon functional recovery in individuals with newly diagnosed Familial Hypdercholesterolemia. This information is fundamental in identifying if current Familial Hypdercholesterolemia treatments methods reverse the functional and structural effect of the lipid accumulation within the tendon. | Alexander Scott | Centre for Hip Health & Mobility | 2020 |
| MRI, fMRI , BOLD, | Neural Recruitment During Spontaneous Thoughts. People frequently experience thoughts which seem to ‘come out of nowhere’, however, the neural underpinnings of this common psychological happening are poorly understood. Using fMRI scanning, we will investigate neural activity in human brains before a thought reaches one’s awareness, once it reaches awareness, during its subsequent elaboration (as a stream of thought), and during its dissipation.

| MRI, SWI, FLAIR | Myelin Water Imaging in NMDA Receptor Autoimmune Encephalitis – Pilot Study. Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) is a serious condition caused by misdirected immune response against the brain. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used for the detection of brain abnormalities in many neurological conditions but routine MRI studies are normal in the majority of AIE cases, despite the obvious widespread neurological dysfunction. We aim to determine if there is damage to myelin due to widespread inflammation using Myelin Water Imaging (MWI) in AIE patients and if these relate to abnormalities in cognitive testing, serum neurofilament light-chain levels (a blood biomarker of neuronal damage), and retinal measurements obtained by optical coherence tomography. | Tony Traboulsee | MS & NMO Clinical Trials Group | 2020 |
| MRI, fMRI, DTI | CAN-BIND Validation study- Intergrated Biological Markers for the Prediction of Treatment Response in Depression. The purpose of our study is to learn about ‘biomarkers’ (biological features such as proteins, genes, and brain images that indicate the state of a disease in a person), and how they can help predict treatment outcomes in patients with clinical depression. This study involves standard treatment for depression. Patients will be treated by a psychiatrist for 16 weeks with an antidepressant medication approved to treat depression. No placebos are being used. | Raymond Lam | Psychiatry | 2020 |

| MRI, rs-fMRI, DTI, GRASE | Does Opera training sculpt the brain to learn? Study 1- Language Intensive. Learning how to perform opera is both cognitively and physically demanding, yet some of the students who have been most successful in UBC’s Opera Program have had learning-related disabilities, and appear to have overcome their difficulties, or to have learned compensatory skills that help them not just in opera performance but beyond. The goal of the proposed research is to systematically evaluate and better explain the neural foundations of that observation. In this endeavor, a study is proposed to measure executive function and other learning capabilities before and after a month-long language intensive course that is a required component of UBC opera training, and to determine – through MRI measurement of anatomical changes in fiber tracts in the brain – the neural bases of any observed behavioral improvements. | Lara Boyd | Physical Therapy | 2019 |

| MRI; rs-fMRI | Reshaping the Path of Mild Cognitive Impairment by Refining Exercise Prescription. In this proposed study, we will study the effects of different types and combinations of exercise training on cognitive function in older adults who are at increased risk for dementia (i.e., mild cognitive impairment). Older adults with mild cognitive impairment represent an ideal target population for intervention strategies, as the preservation of their cognitive function will likely maintain and prolong their ability to live independently and with quality. Furthermore, we will explore how each exercise type improves cognitive function as such information may lead to new discoveries and therapies. | Teresa Liu-Ambrose | Physical Therapy | 2017 |

| MRI | Synchronizing Exercises, Remedies in Gait and Cognition (SYNERGIC) Trial. A Randomized Controlled Double Blind Trial. Physical exercises, cognitive training, and vitamin D are low cost interventions and have the potential to enhance cognitive and mobility function in older adults, especially in pre-dementia states such as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Currently, it is unclear whether aerobic, resistance, or tone and stretching exercise would have different effects on cognitive performance. We postulate that combined strength and aerobic training will have a better effect on cognition over tone stretching-control exercise in an MCI population. Additionally, we will assess if a multi-domain intervention including cognitive training and vitamin D will have synergistic efficacy. | Teresa Liu-Ambrose | Physical Therapy | 2017 |

| MRI | LOBSTr: establishing an imaging biomarker for disease progression in multiple sclerosis. MS is a disabling neurological disease with a highly variable clinical course including acute disability (relapses when symptoms appear or worsen) and disease progression (steady accumulation of disability in the absence of relapses). There is currently no approved treatment for progressive MS. A principal pathology of MS is the destruction of myelin, which surrounds nerves to speed up signal conduction. We have developed a magnetic resonance imaging technique that provides quantitative measurements of myelin. Our aim is to establish myelin water imaging as a biomarker for disease progression, allowing efficient clinical trials to establish effective treatment options for progressive MS. | Shannon Kolind | Neurology | 2017 |
