VR may have its roots in video games, but it is fast becoming a tool that scientists around the world, including researchers in QBI’s Mattingley Lab, are using in experiments.

In this deep dive into the lab’s studies, learn about the different types of memories and how virtual worlds may be used in the future to test memory.

Two of UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) scientists, Professor Jason Mattingley and Dr Matilde Balbi, hold leadership roles within the Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS). They share what inspired them to get involved and what they're looking forward to at this year's annual conference.

If you’re a fan of the new TV show ‘Pluribus’, you’d think that a psychic glue capable of binding us and our brains is pure science fiction. 🧬
But a “molecular glue” that can repair damaged nerve cells is a future goal for QBI scientists studying neuronal fusion! Hear Professor Massimo Hilliard and Dr Ramon Martinez-Marmol break down neuronal fusion on our latest episode of A Grey Matter.

What does it take for children and families to truly thrive? At this year’s Brain Builders Summit, we explored the power of connection — from the tiniest building blocks of the brain to the communities and environments that shape young lives.

Across libraries, clinics, early childhood education centres, schools, playgroups, and homes, we saw how neuro-informed policy and practice can transform systems and create lasting change.

Thank you to all the practitioners, researchers, educators, philanthropists and leaders who joined us — and to Dr Norman Swan for being a fantastic MC and to all our speakers who presented on the day (pictured).
