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.

Researchers have discovered the human brain’s enhanced processing power may stem from differences in the structure and function of our neurons.

We are a step closer to understanding how our brain interprets the visual world.

Federal Minister for Health Greg Hunt MP visited The University of Queensland today to announce more than $440 million in NHMRC funding for Australian researchers.

QBI researchers have discovered a key mechanism in the brain that may underlie our ability to rapidly focus attention.

The thickness of the brain’s outer layer influences how individual neurons process information. The findings challenge the understanding of how brain circuits function throughout the brain.

Once thought to be passive conduits, the dendrites of neurons actually help process visual signals about moving light, QBI researchers have found.

Applications for the advanced neuroscience course are open until 23 December 2016.
