Emeritus Professor Perry Bartlett and Dr Daniel Blackmore from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute led a longitudinal study to find that high-intensity interval exercise improves brain function in older adults for up to 5 years.

Shorter sleep and later bedtimes are linked to potentially harmful functional changes to parts of the brain important for coping with stress and controlling negative emotions, our recently published research found.

A recent study found that regular, moderate exercise improved brain function and cognitive flexibility in rats with autism-like symptoms, suggesting that exercise may benefit individuals with autism by enhancing brain health at a molecular level.

COVID-19 patients who experienced loss of smell showed long-term brain changes, including structural thinning, decreased white matter integrity, and altered decision-making behavior, suggesting potential neurological consequences even after recovery.

A new study finds that the left posterior inferior frontal cortex activates within 100 milliseconds during reading, playing a critical, early role in turning text into speech, challenging traditional models that assumed a slower, step-by-step process.

The link between poor sleep and mental health problems could be related to deficits in brain regions that keep unwanted thoughts out of mind, according to research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).

A study led by scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick has shown that specialized cells involved in how the body responds to insulin are activated in the brain after exercise, suggesting that physical activity may directly improve brain function.

These findings could help guide the development of new treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders.  

Childhood is critically important for brain development. A new UGA study suggests more sleep could protect kids' mental health.

Consumption of popular sugar-free sweeteners was linked to faster declines in global cognition, memory, and verbal fluency in a large longitudinal study—adding to growing concerns over the neurological effects of artificial sweeteners.

Scientists have discovered that THC and CBD push the brain in opposite directions. A neuroimaging study in rats shows that THC boosts connectivity and blood flow, while CBD dampens brain signaling—and combining them creates a more balanced effect.

UC San Diego researchers find that a weeklong mind-body retreat led to rapid changes in brain function and blood biology, boosting resilience, pain relief, and stress recovery—showing how meditation and related practices can quickly impact health.

Gut bacteria don’t just fuel brains — they may help shape how brains work and evolve.
