http://www.scienceexchange.com/facilities/meg-mcgill

MEG (Magnetoencephalography) is a neuroimaging technology for cognitive and clinical brain research. In a nutshell, MEG measures non-invasively the tiny magnetic fields generated by neuronal currents. A unique asset of MEG imaging is its unrivaled temporal resolution, reaching the millisecond time scale across the entire brain volume. On the clinical side, MEG has been typically indicated for the pre-surgical work-up of severe, drug-resistant epilepsy and the functional pre-surgical mapping of brain tumors. There is however great potential to use MEG as an instrument of choice to investigate other neurological syndromes and neuropsychiatric disorders (e.g., stroke, dementia, movement disorders, depression, etc.). Overall, MEG has strong value in revealing the dynamics of brain activity involved in subject''''s perception, cognition and responses: it has provided unique insight on the time-resolved processes ruling brain functions (resting-state dynamics, language, motor control, visual and auditory perception, etc.) and dysfunctions (movement disorders, tinnitus, chronic pain, dementia, etc.). MEG(at)McGill provides a full-suite of services related to MEG and MEG/EEG studies. This includes a variety of training programs for use of the MEG and related data acquisition and analysis software, Brainstorm.

http://www.scienceexchange.com/facilities/center-for-structural-biology

The CSB provides an integrated platform of expertise, infrastructure and education to foster a wider use of structural biology by the UNC community. The CSB mission is to make structural biology available as a general tool to any researcher. Structures of macromolecules at atomic resolution have helped to revolutionize modern biology. Structural insight is often crucial for understanding the functions of biological macromolecules, including their interactions with small ligands (such as substrates, inhibitors, drugs) and other macromolecules (nucleic acids and/or proteins). Consequently, structural biology represents one of the pillars of basic biomedical research; it is indispensable for deciphering the details of life processes and for understanding the differences between natural and diseased states. Building on such insights, structural biology can assist in devising novel therapies, e.g., through structure-based or structure-aided drug design. The enormous information content available in high-resolution, three-dimensional structures has sparked the desire of non-structural biologists to examine the structures of the macromolecules that they study. Structural biology is technically demanding, and it requires highly specialized expertise. The CSB removes or reduces these barriers that usually prevent general researchers from engaging in structural biology-based projects by themselves.
