A study of 30,000 middle-aged and older adults found that larger tissue volume in six key brain regions, along with higher education, strongly predicts better working memory performance

Vaccine Against Brain Tumors Shows Promising Long-Term Results: 33 patients with high-grade astrocytomas, the most common form of glioma, received vaccine that trains the immune system to recognize and fight tumor cells

A research team at UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) have highlighted how acetylcholine signalling interacts with dopamine pathways in the brain, findings that may help explain how a new class of schizophrenia treatments works, offering an alternative to traditional antipsychotics

Inhibiting a stress protein prevents the consequences of childhood trauma: The effects on the brain and social behavior might one day be reversible

Researchers from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute have discovered tiny mobile structures in brain cells called vaults can carry RNA between different parts of a neuron…

Emerging evidence links tire pollution to Alzheimer’s risk: A chemical called 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), which forms when shaved-off tire particles come into contact with ozone, might interfere with inner workings of the brain cells…

AI-generated videos to maximally drive a target brain region

Modern human-made environments with striped patterns, cluttered interiors, high-contrast colours, flickering lights and densely packed supermarket shelves can overload the brain, increasing visual discomfort, eyestrain, stress and feelings of being overwhelmed in some people

Rapid-acting antidepressants such as ketamine and psilocybin appear to reduce treatment-resistant depression by altering immune-brain signaling, with shared immune biomarkers that may help predict which patients are most likely to benefit from these treatments
