Does ‘brain training’ work?
In a large-scale systematic review and meta-analysis published in PLoS Medicine, researchers at the Regenerative Neuroscience group have found that cognitive training is effective in healthy older adults. However, benefits can be achieved only when cognitive training is conducted in group settings and no more than three times per week. Read more

Help RNG beat dementia
The Regenerative Neuroscience Group is pioneering a radical new treatment to beat dementia based on a person’s own stem cells. We have successfully tested this technology in rats and are now moving on to human research. See below for our short film about this exciting project. We aim to raise $250,000 towards this goal through public support, including crowd funding.

RNG Strategic Research Program
Dogs have the most plastic genome of any animal. They have shared our environments and experiences for at least 14,000 years, and this period of co-evolution has produced dramatic changes to canine morphology, brain organization, behavioural attributes and genetic diversity. Remarkably, in their later years dogs also develop a form of dementia called Canine Cognitive Dysfunction, and this is now a major research focus of RNG. Read more.
The DOGS+CELLS Trial is currently recruiting doggie dementia patients for this world-first study. Learn more here
