Latest research from the Turner Institute shows one in five people with sleep apnoea suffer from clinical depression and almost a quarter use antidepressants.

Women in countries where there is higher educational participation can better recall and reconstruct significant memories in their lives – and outperform men in this area – new international research shows.

We're proud to announce that a successful bid for $2.5m from the Medical Research Future Fund has been awarded to the Turner Institute's Professor Mark Bellgrove and Dr Beth Johnson. This ground-breaking research, which focuses on one of the most common childhood neurodevelopmental disorders - Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), will study the causes of ASD and develop novel interventions to improve cognitive and brain development. The funding would not have been possible without a strong community partner - the Abacus Learning Centre in Hastings. It will accelerate the progress of our Turner team to develop a landmark cohort study for the South-East of Melbourne for ASD and associated childhood disorders.

Noticed a change? MICCN has officially become the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health. We are one of Australia’s largest institutes for brain and mental health, bringing together a wealth of researchers, clinicians, industry partners and community groups to develop novel solutions for mental health problems that have burdened our community for too long.
