The foundation of the Queensland Brain Institute confirms UQ neuroscience as a major international force. Professor Perry Bartlett, an internationally renowned researcher in the field of cellular and molecular neurobiology, leads the Institute. Professor Bartlett’s groundbreaking research into the characteristics and function of the stem cells of the adult brain has led to major shifts in the way in which we understand the nervous system. Professor Bartlett and his team are now investigating ways existing stem cells can be stimulated to replace damaged or diseased nerve cells.
Continuing within the Queensland Brain Institute is the Centre for Vision, Touch and Hearing (VTHRC), founded in 1988, which focuses on the sensory systems of animals and humans. Among many recent highlights, research into the application of binocular rivalry has had a major impact on the diagnosis of mood disorders and schizophrenia.
