An ageing population means more people will be affected by neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and stroke in the future. Fortunately, brain research offers hope to individuals, families and society. Every day brings new findings that enhance our understanding of brain health and disease.
The BHRC has 240 multidisciplinary researchers and clinicians across 44 laboratories, who are committed to finding new treatments to harness the brain's restorative potential, and testing innovative new therapies.
Each year the BHRC has a theme it uses to guide its communication to the wider public. This year's theme is Lifespan. This reflects that our researchers within the BHRC are focused on understanding the brain and brain disease across the entire human lifespan.
We hold various public events around Otago and Southland over the year. Keep an eye on this webpage or our Facebook page for our events.
