25.01.2022 Hutchinson Builders foreman David Raso knows first-hand the impact of #dementia. His father, Hughie, lives with dementia in the family’s hometown of Cairns. Unfortunately, David has been unable to visit his father or allow his son Leo to bring a great big smile to his grandfather’s face as COVID restrictions keep him in Brisbane. But David along with his co-workers have designed a way to help #QBI researchers try to find a way to help people like Hughie. Discover more: www.bit.ly/3kCJN1l



24.01.2022 #QBI researchers have discovered that a celluar process gone astray allows a toxic protein to leak into healthy brain cells, leading to memory loss and other impairments.

23.01.2022 Dementia is not a single disease, but a term describing a collection of symptoms from a range of conditions that cause parts of the brain to deteriorate progressively. Dementia affects functions such as memory, perception, behaviour, language, and personality. Discover more: www.bit.ly/3kCiTqz #Dementia #DementiaActionWeek #DementiaActionWeek2020



23.01.2022 The path scientists follow to discovery is never a straight line - it’s inspired by a deep desire to explore new ground, flex their creative muscle and develop ideas that capture their curiosity. The outcomes may not be immediate or obvious but they are essential to helping us overcome some of our greatest hurdles.

22.01.2022 Dementia is not a single disease, but a complex health problem in which symptoms can develop slowly and a diagnosis might only be made years after the brain has started to undergo neurodegenerative changes.

22.01.2022 #Concussion is the most common and mild form of traumatic brain injury and occurs when force causes the brain to collide into the skull. Discover the science, facts and personal stories behind this debilitating injury in the first issue of #TheBRAIN. Visit: www.bit.ly/3r4MjAC Download: www.bit.ly/39oxNxQ



21.01.2022 We’ve all probably made our fair share of regrettable decisions but most of us learn from the outcomes. But making the right choice can be extremely difficult for some people living with mental disorders. Discover more: www.bit.ly/376XbHs #QBI #QMHW #QMHWTakeTime

19.01.2022 How do animals make sense of the world around them? In the past, that has been a difficult question to answer, but advancement in technologies now allow researchers to visualise nearly all the neurons in the brain at one time. Discover more: bit.ly/2ZJWP57 #Neuroscience #QBI #TheBRAIN

16.01.2022 How do you make sure treatment of people with brain injury, diseases and disorders is best informed by neuroscience? Welcome to neuropsychology. A Grey Matter talks to #QBI neuropsychologist Professor Gail Robinson about her research and its outcomes. Listen to the #podcast: https://bit.ly/3ctLYCX

14.01.2022 Could a new breakthrough in science be inspired from the cookbook? Neuroscientist Dr Sean Coakley explains how he infuses aspects from his love of cooking into his research at #QBI. Discover more: www.bit.ly/3nR4Rmx

13.01.2022 Dr Adam Walker and his team are trying to understand motor neurone disease (#MND) in order to treat, cure or prevent it. But their efforts may have been for nothing if it hadn’t been for the generosity of one man. #QBI #NotifWhen

12.01.2022 We are still discovering so much about the brain through observations of nature for instance, a sea slug is helping us understand what happens when we learn by showing neurons change their connections in the brain.

11.01.2022 Congratulations Matt! Matthew Collard who is hoping to raise $20,000 for dementia research at #QBI completed 80km in 19 hours in the gruelling Simpson Desert Ultra! This mammoth effort followed his epic 1,500km bike ride from Brisbane to Birdsville. Help Matthew reach his target: https://bit.ly/3gb3LAQ

10.01.2022 Did you know? Humans are pretty average when it comes to seeing the visual world compared to many other animals with much smaller brains. Or that octopuses are essentially colourblind? And that there’s really no such thing as colour? Professor Justin Marshall answers these and many other questions about the amazing world of animal vision in this episode.

10.01.2022 David Osbourne has been living with the life-changing impacts of dementia nearly all his life. When he was 15, he helped his mother care for his grandmother, who had the disorder. Now his mother is also living with dementia. David and his Hutchinson Builders co-workers are trying to help people living with dementia by donating the funds from their parking lot to help dementia research at #QBI.

09.01.2022 Tiny roundworms, known as C.elegans, measure only about 1 mm long, but they’ve gone to great lengths to do more for neuroscience than just about any other organism. And their most impressive feat could eventually help us repair nerve damage. Discover more: bit.ly/33C5RUf... #TheBRAIN #Magazine

08.01.2022 Dr Nathanael Yates knows the impact of a mental health disorder he has three generations of schizophrenia in his family.

04.01.2022 "A lot of people say that depression is being over diagnosed, I would flip that question and actually say the risk is that depression is being under diagnosed." A panel of QBI experts explored the neuroscience of depression, its impact on society, and how research can help pave a successful path into the future at our webinar 'Understanding the brain to treat depression'. Watch a replay of the webinar: www.bit.ly/350nD36

But through discovery research including from #QBI scientists have a new understanding of the brain. These discoveries are opening new treatment avenues and revealing ways to encourage the brain to repair itself.
