Neurescence Inc.

Published purpose

Neurescence, located in Toronto, has a proprietary micro-endoscope technology for imaging and stimulation of the brain and the spinal cord. It’s mission is to help understand how the central nervous system works in healthy and diseased subjects to shed light on mechanisms of neurological diseases, such as Epilepsy, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Depression. The technology is then used to find efficacious treatments for these diseases. Micro-endoscopes use highly specialized miniature optical elements to form an image. The creation of these optics is a main goal of this project. Neurescence will design the specialized optics, and tests these optics created by NRC team using its microedoscope and provide feedback to the NRC team. Moreover, Neurescence’s team has extensive experience with creating and commercializing hardware and software products from prototype stage. This unique combination of technical and business expertise ensures the right steps are taken to commercialize the results of the project.
