25.01.2022 Increasingly students of all ages are turning away from printed textbooks to spend more time studying using screens - but research indicates that this can have a negative impact on learning. Time to get "back to basics" as they say... #perthbraincentre #perth #brain #learning

25.01.2022 The Perth Brain Centre welcomes Yuval Gurfinkel ! Yuval holds a Degree in Physiology (BS) and is completing his final year of a Master of Biomedical Science (MBS), specialising in Neuroscience at the University of Western Australia. Yuval is currently researching methods for Alzheimers disease diagnosis, using hyperspectral retinal imaging to investigate ocular biomarkers of Alzheimers disease at the Ralph and Patricia Sarich Neuroscience Research Institute. Yuval is passi...onate about patient care and looks forward to contributing to our understanding of neurological disorders, mental health issues, and chorionic pain, as well as help develop individualised care programs for patients and their families. Yuval is interested in the applications of non-invasive treatments of neurological disorders as well as mental health issues. He is an advocate of implementing exercise within individualised treatment pathways for enhancing physical, social and psychological well-being. The Perth Brain Centre has been providing regular Clinical Placements for students of neuroscience from The University of Western Australia for the past few years and is happy to welcome Yuval to the team.

24.01.2022 A new long-awaited government report has found that almost half of all Australians meet the criteria for a mental illness at some point in their lives and at cost of $220b per year to the economy. These are staggering figures and mental illness is complex with often no single therapy providing the solution. Decades of research indicates that the seeds of mental illness often start to germinate in childhood and adolescence wth lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, screen-time, sleep and stress playing a role.
