Dr Dr. Al Prout Finished undergraduate studies at the University of Cape Town and a residency in neurology at the University of British Columbia. Prior to entering the neurology department at St. Paul's Hospital in 1993, the doctor completed a fellowship in neuromuscular disease/ALS at VGH. Presently working as a consultant at St. Paul's Hospital and practising general neurology with a focus on neuromuscular diseases. Chief of the Neurology Division of SPH/PHC since 2011. Member of the Canadian Neurological Society Federation (CNSF), the American Epilepsy Society (AES), and the former president of the Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology (CCNS). Previously, he served as Canada's ambassador to the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN).

Guy Rouleau, MD, is the Director of The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital), the Chair of the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University, the Director of the Department of Neuroscience at the McGill University Health Centre, a co-founder of the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute, and a renowned James McGill Professor. Dr. Rouleau is a clinician-scientist who treats patients with genetic disorders of the brain and other diseases. He concentrates his research on figuring out the underlying causes of these problems in order to develop novel treatments. Throughout the course of his more than 30 years of actively conducting research, he has produced approximately 850 articles in peer-reviewed journals, which have been cited more than 74,000 times (Google Scholar). Identifying dozens of disease-causing genes and discovering novel mutational pathways are only a couple of Dr. Rouleau's ground-breaking accomplishments. His identification of the genes responsible for neurological and psychiatric conditions such as autism, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, hereditary neuropathies, epilepsy, and schizophrenia has improved our understanding of the molecular processes underlying the manifestation of these conditions' symptoms.

"Edith Hamel is a Canadian neuroscientist who focuses on the interactions between neurons, astrocytes, and microvessels that permit a normal blood supply to activated brain areas as well as the different neurological diseases that result from a system that is not functioning properly. Hamel works in a lab at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, a project of McGill University. There, she employs a variety of brain imaging methods to map changes in neuronal and hemodynamic responses under various physiological and pathological circumstances in order to identify the mediators of these responses."
