  • Keeps me sharp in my studies

    This podcast is very interesting and helpful to remind me of what I have learned in my studies as well as the latest findings about brain science. Great for anyone with a fascination for things neuro! If I was younger I would aspire to work with these people at Queensland Brain Institute!!!!!! Dave Brebner

  • Great show

    This is one of my favourite podcasts, I’m fascinated by the brain.

    It’s sciency without being difficult to understand, and the content is great. I love hearing about new research too, and feel that QBI is a great institution.

  • If you like NPR’s Invisibilia, try this!

    A bit more sound in its science, a bit shorter in length, but great production value and interesting topics

  • Interesting topics direct from the source

    A good science podcast if you're into the brain or what we use our brains for. It's nice to hear directly from the scientists and in a way anyone can understand.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The fusion frontier
Q: How do you see this work affecting the development of new treatment strategies for nerve repair?
The future of treatment strategies for nerve repair will require collaboration between neurosurgeons and biologists, integrating molecular glue in the repair process.
The fusion frontier
Q: Massimo, for the non-scientists among us, please can you explain what neuronal fusion actually is?
Neuronal fusion occurs when neurons fuse with each other instead of transmitting information, leading to disrupted communication.
Surviving, treating, fighting stroke
Q: How do inhibitory neurons help the brain to recover after a stroke?
Dr. Matilde explains that inhibitory neurons calm overactive brain circuits, facilitating recovery.
Surviving, treating, fighting stroke
Q: What would you say the biggest challenges are for young stroke survivors in the acute recovery phase?
Tennille highlights that shock and the perception of stroke as an older person's disease create significant challenges for younger survivors.
Surviving, treating, fighting stroke
Q: Can you take us back to the moment when you first realised that something was seriously wrong?
Letitia recounts her initial headache and subsequent symptoms leading to her stroke diagnosis.
