Based in Christchurch, the New Zealand Brain Research Institute improves brain-health through research, education and clinical practice. Our work includes:
- Research into the effects and treatments for New Zealand’s most common brain disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, dementia, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and multiple sclerosis;
- Fostering promising, young, graduate students to train as researchers;
- Hosting neurology clinics for movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s, as well as for cognitive problems (e.g. dementia and mild cognitive impairment); and
- Educating the wider community about brain-health and research outcomes.
