Brain Awareness Week 2025

Researchers have determined that by studying early marsupial brain development, they can uncover patterns of neural activity associated with early human brain development.

Researchers at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) have uncovered specific functions of neurons in the brain’s complex neural circuits to gain deeper insights into learning and adaptive behaviour.

Research at The University of Queensland could eventually help develop viable treatments - and ultimately a cure - for motor neurone disease (MND). Dr Adam Walker and co-authors from QBI have identified biochemical changes in a protein that is affected by MND.
