The importance of brain health to prevent dementia
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body but as it ages, it becomes vulnerable to an incurable threat.
New study reveals how exercise can improve learning and memory
Published on:
18 December 2020
New research has shown how physical exercise can revitalize your brain.
Blood cells the missing link in post-exercise boost
Published on:
22 March 2019
Researchers have discovered a new way in which exercise boosts our brain - following exercise, platelets in our blood prompt neural stem cells to form new neurons, which in turn boosts brain function.
Can you grow new brain cells?
Discoveries from QBI researchers have turned on its head conventional wisdom about the brain's ability to regenerate.
