Memory

Researchers revealed regional sex differences in the hippocampus - an area of the brain important for memory, learning and emotions.

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.

A PhD student pushing the boundaries of technology to understand our brain’s response to fear has won a Westpac Future Leader Scholarship.

QBI researchers have discovered a DNA modification that enhances our ability to extinguish fear, a discovery that could help guide the development of new treatments for fear-related anxiety disorders.

QBI neuroscientists have found that the brain's process for repairing DNA is also important for consolidating memories and allowing rapid brain adaptation, a discovery that challenges current thinking on the significance of DNA repair to the brain's ability to adapt to changes.

Queensland Brain Institute scientists have discovered a new pathway in the brain that regulates the return of traumatic memories and fear.
