Researchers from the Queensland Brain Institute have developed a fast cognitive screening tool that detects rehabilitation needs in stroke patients within minutes.

Researchers from UQ's Queensland Brain Institute have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited

Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) researchers have generated a promising Tau antibody as a potential immunotherapy treatment aimed at targeting harmful protein aggregates in Alzheimer’s disease.

A longitudinal study by University of Queensland researchers has found high-intensity interval exercise improves brain function in older adults for up to 5 years.

For the first time, researchers from the Queensland Brain Institute have proven that a mild stress is enough to trigger post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in mouse models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Ultrasound therapy shows promise as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers at UQ's Queensland Brain Institute have confirmed that brainwaves can affect visual perception, particularly when it comes to distinguishing between objects.

Researchers have discovered how G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term memory formation.

Unravelling the mysteries of the presynapse with super resolution microscopy

Researchers at the University of Queensland have revealed the crucial role of saturated fatty acids in the brain’s consolidation of memories.

For the first time, researchers from the UQ Queensland Brain Institute have mapped out the proteins implicated in the early stages of motor neurone disease (MND).

Exploring associations between the composition of the gut microbiome, schizophrenia and its treatment.

Nocturnal coral reef fish use specialised retinas for faster and more sensitive sight in low-light conditions, giving the fish the equivalent of in-built night-vision.

Researchers discover new classes of RNA for learning and memory

Alzheimer’s protein tau tracked, giving rare insights into its function

Platelets can replicate the benefits of exercise in the brain

A cross-national analysis of population surveys from 29 countries reveal that half the population will have a mental health disorder by age 75

New protein function promotes cellular longevity

Covid-19 can cause brain cells to ‘fuse’

Neuroscientists have uncovered how vitamin D deficiency affects developing neurons in schizophrenia

How the human brain adapts to external stimulation – an important mechanism for species survival – has been made clearer by new research

A new study has shown that sleep-disrupted breathing exhibits the same degeneration of neurons which die in dementia.

Enzymes key for learning and memory cluster together and become highly active when they’re immobilised in the neuron

The part of the human brain responsible for functions such as thought and creativity has a similar structure to other mammals including rodents.

A new study looking at the economic impact of mental health disorders found people living with these disorders have lower earning ability and higher health care costs.

Researchers are a step closer to understanding how the brain interprets the visual world after discovering how ganglion cells share the task of processing, coding…

New research into why deep-sea fish have such unusual eyes could help us understand specific diseases or developmental defects that occur in our own eyes.

Neuroscientists have discovered how an optimal period of exercise stimulates the production of new neurons, helping to reverse cognitive decline and improve learning.

The octopus is known for its high intelligence, vision, and instincts, with a new study revealing its brain varies in size and shape depending on habitat, when it was active and interaction with other animals.

Brain biology can cause behavioural differences between men and women, but these are dwarfed by the differences between people within a sex, according to new research.
