Iron and the aging brain: How can we improve brain health as we get older? This is at the forefront of research by a team at the Florey examining brain aging with the help of C.elegans roundworms. They have discovered that the answer might lie in a commonly-found mineral – iron. “Iron plays a crucial […]

How sound alters sense of touch: New research suggests our brains process different sensory inputs more like a symphony, combining and harmonising information rather than processing separately. Processing information from our senses is crucial to survival. Seeing a red light tells you to stop at an intersection, while the sound of a pedestrian button informs […]

The saying ‘trust your gut’ refers to following your intuition, but as Dr Martin Stebbing explains it, the saying goes a lot deeper. He believes the phrase was born out of the uncomfortable physical symptoms we experience when something isn’t working quite right in the gut. He recently discussed why it’s important to listen to […]

In what could be a new pathway for drug therapies to treat hypertension, a team of brain researchers have discovered that zinc plays a key role in lowering blood pressure. Your movements, your thoughts, the constant operation of your organs – it all depends on your arteries channelling oxygen-rich blood to where it’s needed, releasing […]

Is the world prepared a wave of neurological consequences that may be on its way as a result of COVID-19? This question is at the forefront of research underway at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. A team of neuroscientists and clinicians are examining the potential link between COVID-19 and increased risk of […]
