Mount Allison math and computer science professor Matt Betti has not been impressed with the conclusions drawn by the provincial government when it comes to investigating New Brunswick’s so-called mystery brain disease. The infectious disease modeller is now undertaking a study of his own into neurological disorders in New Brunswick, in hopes of casting more light on the unexplained symptoms experienced by some New Brunswickers.

The study is looking to survey people who have spent considerable amounts of time in New Brunswick over the past 20 years, and, more specifically, who may have either a diagnosed neurological condition, or are experiencing neurological symptoms ranging from confusion to memory issues to persistent headaches.

To participate or find out more, people can email mbetti@mta.ca with the subject line "NB Disease."

Betti’s study represents one more chance for some of the people experiencing unknown or unexplained neurological symptoms in the province to get closer to an answer. CHMA spoke with him last month, shortly after public health released its final report on New Brunswick’s mystery disease, concluding that “no such syndrome exists in New Brunswick.”
