My mom-in-law was one of the test subjects. Approx. every month and a half I phone them up asking for a report of the findings. Just this last time they said near the holidays, one will be published. I am mentioning this because perhaps you can phone them up about your own research. Dr. Serge Gautier is the Director (Suraiya's neuro, too--and bad at returning phone calls). Dr. Michel Paissett is the Assistant Director Clinical Research (I spoke to him once and he was very friendly). the number is 514-766-2010. McGill Centre for Studies in Aging. Douglas Hospital 6825 LaSalle Boulevard Verdun, QC H4H 1R3 Hope this is helpful Deanna
