The Brain Matters Podcast
Despite decades of study, much of the brain remains a mystery. But this incredible organ is responsible for the most important parts of what make us human, as well as some of the most difficult-to-treat conditions and diseases.
The Brain Matters Podcast brings together powerful conversations between researchers, doctors and people with first-hand experience of brain conditions to discuss the past, present and future of brain health.

What's next in the fight against multiple sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a highly complex condition to diagnose, treat and live with.
Affecting 1 in 1000 people, and with symptoms usually presenting in people between the age of 20 and 40, the impact of MS can vary person to person. Any part of the central nervous system can be impacted - from vision, to sensory perception and sometimes cognition.
In this episode, we dive into the complexities of this disease with perspectives from leading MS clinician and researcher Professor Trevor Kilpatrick, Florey scientist Michele Binder, and Catherine, a doctor who has lived with MS for 20 years.
The Brain Matters Podcast is brought to you by The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health and hosted by Dr Shane Huntington.
