Cognition
Running down exercise ‘sweet spot’ to reverse cognitive decline
Published on:
13 December 2021
Researchers have discovered an exercise ‘sweet spot’ that reverses the cognitive decline in ageing mice, paving the way for human studies in this area.
Non-invasive potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease
Published on:
23 June 2021
Ultrasound can overcome some of the detrimental effects of ageing and dementia without the need to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Remembered to take your vitamins? How vitamin D can affect your brain
QBI Associate Professor Thomas Burne answers all your questions about the link between vitamin D deficiency and and cognitive disorders.
Researchers net new theory on vitamin D and cognitive disorders
Published on:
20 February 2019
New research from QBI may explain how vitamin D deficiency leads to a range of cognitive disorders, including depression and schizophrenia.
Vitamin D deficiency a risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia
Published on:
12 December 2018
Research from the University of Queensland has linked low levels of vitamin D and the size of a part of the brain crucial to memory formation.
Finding the brain’s ‘inner GPS’ cells proves elusive
Published on:
29 August 2018
Dr Baumann from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute and colleagues have put to rest the notion that fMRI can detect the brain's place cells.
Cognitive decline in health and disease
What is the difference between normal cognitive decline and disorders of ageing? We explain.
