A Grey Matter explores the many wonders of the brain and neuroscience’s vital role in helping people to live healthier, happier and more productive lives.
Dr Matilde Balbi combines multiple approaches to study the brain's recovery from stroke with the aim of identifying intrinsic neuroprotective mechanisms to improve stroke treatments.
Dr Nela Durisic studies the architecture and function of single molecules with the aim of discovering what leads to genetic epilepsy to uncover new ways to treat it.
Professor Frederic Meunier and his lab use super-resolution microscopy to observe single molecules in living neurons to discover how brain cells communicate.
Dr Adam Walker and his team use genetic editing techniques and rapidly advancing technology to study the biological processes that cause MND, in the hope to design new therapies that prevent or halt its progression.
How do we make choices? And what happens in our brain when we do? Cognitive Neuroscientist Professor Jason Mattingley and his team study human brain activity and structure and how people pay attention, prioritise information and decide.
Professor Peter Nestor, a clinician-researcher who diagnoses people living with neurodegenerative disease, explores memory, how we remember things and when we don't.
Can we replicate the positive effects of exercise to boost new neurons in the adult brain? Dr Tara Walker thinks so and has dedicated her research career to discovering how.
