In Alzheimer's disease, the brain’s ability to regulate the strength of synaptic structures between neurons is significantly disrupted. QBI's Dr Barbora Fulopova led a new study which paves the way for targeted repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatments that could…
#eNeuro: Xiao and @matildebalbi show that giving mice real-time auditory feedback linked to their forepaw movements helps them learn complex motor skills more quickly. @QldBrainInst vist.ly/3n5myvk
UQ researchers have discovered that linking real-time sounds to movement helps mice learn motor skills faster! 🐭 This finding could lead to better rehab strategies for stroke recovery, enhancing motor learning in humans. Read more: bit.ly/41H0WiI #UQ #QBI #brain…
Abstract submission and registration closes soon for the Cell Biology of the Nervous System in Crete. Hope to see you there!
Very proud of your achievements @MSamantzis. It's a privilege to witness your growth!
Extremely honoured to have been awarded the Joan Lawrence prize for High Achieving Women in Neuroscience today - many thanks must go to @matildebalbi, my lab members and all of the wonderful community at QBI who is very supportive of my research! 🧠
Great discussion at the symposium on cortical plasticity after stroke at the #neuroprotection2024 #neurorepair It was a pleasure to share our findings on plasticity together with such an enthusiastic team of scientists.
This year our lab is participating in Stride4Stroke & raising funds for Stroke Foundation. Follow along with our lab page to see our activities! We'd love your help in reaching our fundraising goal! @QldBrainInst stride4stroke.org.au/st/1497/t.
On #WorldStrokeDay, we recognize the vital work of researchers dedicated to advancing stroke prevention, treatment and recovery. Every breakthrough brings us closer to reducing the impact of stroke worldwide. #StrokeResearch @QldBrainInst
#ANS2024 early-bird registrations have been extended to September 12! The program includes an amazing line-up of speakers: ans.org.au/ans-asm/sympos… The event will be held at the Pan Pacific hotel in beautiful #Perth. Register here: ans.org.au/ans-asm/regist…
Applications for the upcoming Australasian Course in Advanced Neuroscience ACAN 2025 (from Sunday 19th January 2025 to Saturday 8th February 2025) are now open: form.jotform.com/242447299661063 Applications Close – Saturday 5 October 2024 @ANS_Students
We built a simple App to help identify genetic markers for C. elegans crosses. Great for the lab and for teaching genetics! academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…
We are hiring! Two postdoc positions are available in my group, based at @UQMedicine (SBMS) and @QldBrainInst. Please RT. @UQ_News @DementiaAus @mndaustralia @postdoc @Postdocjobsaus @micro_au Ad1: seek.com.au/job/77802009 Ad2: TBA
Did you ever wonder why the risk for subsequent vascular events is increased after a first stroke or MI? Our answer, out now in @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… A story about NETosis, DNA-sensing and inflammasome activation. Spearheaded by @StefanRoth86 and Jiayu Cao.
Extremely excited that our symposium has been accepted for this year’s @AusNeuroSoc conference in Perth! Looking forward to seeing you all there and sharing our research as well as hearing all of the other presentations! 🧠 @dylanablack @LucyMPalmer @adamqbauer
