NuNerve, a company formed to commercialise research from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute, has produced successful results in a human clinical trial for potential new treatment for MND.
Emeritus Professor Perry Bartlett and Dr Daniel Blackmore from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute led a longitudinal study to find that high-intensity interval exercise improves brain function in older adults for up to 5 years.
Researchers have discovered an exercise ‘sweet spot’ that reverses the cognitive decline in ageing mice, paving the way for human studies in this area.
It used to be thought that the adult brain was hardwired: what we had by a certain age was as good as it got. But QBI’s Professor Perry Bartlett turned that thinking on its head.
What does the science say when it comes to healthy ageing? We talk to Professor Perry Bartlett, who showed the world that stem cells exist in the brains of adults.
