Faulty brain circuits arise from abnormal fusion
Published on:
25 August 2020
Neural fusion was deemed to be impossible but QBI researchers have made it happen in nematodes and it caused behavioural impairments.
Podcast: Why making sense of nature matters to your health
We talk to Professor Massimo Hilliard and Dr Steven Zuryn about the importance of fundamental science – what it is and why it is critical for generating discoveries that may have huge impacts to your health.
The tiny roundworm: a key player in brain science
Scientists are uncovering the fundamentals of how neurons work by studying the roundworm, which can repair severed cells.
Controlling molecular glue protects connections between brain cells
Published on:
16 January 2020
A glue that protects the communication line between brain cells has been found to be controlled by a set of molecules.
Top award for research into nerve damage
Published on:
21 September 2018
A QBI neuroscientist has been awarded for his research using a microscopic worm to help understand how our nervous system is protected from damage.
‘Save me’ signal key to controlling nerve injury repair
Published on:
7 November 2017
Severed nerve cells send out a ‘save me’ signal that sparks the process of self-repair, QBI and Monash University researchers have found.
New nerve degeneration molecule identified
Published on:
20 September 2017
A discovery in a transparent roundworm has brought QBI scientists one step closer to understanding why nerves degenerate.
