This Month in Research
We caught up with Professor Sulev Kõks from the Perron Institute to explore his research on Trajectories of Outcome in Neurological Conditions (TONiC), which is the largest study of its kind in the world.
This newly developed therapy could provide a bright light for Western Australians suffering with poor sleep and fatigue.
Researchers are working around Australia and the globe to better understand neurological conditions and their causes, seeking new or better treatments and ultimately, cures. Get further details on current research projects and exciting discoveries in the field of neurological research.
