The human central nervous system is extremely complex, consisting of about 86 billion neurons,1 and with each neuron capable of forming thousands of connections with other neurons. It is these connections that make the nervous system capable of processing information, but up until the mid-20th century some key aspects of their functions were unknown. NHMRC-funded researchers made critical breakthroughs in our understanding of how neurons communicate with each other, and in doing so provided a foundation for modern neuroscience and neurotransmitter-based medicine.
Hearing loss can have a wide range of adverse effects on individuals and their families. Cochlear implants offer the only effective treatment for those with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. NHMRC-funded researchers at The University of Melbourne developed the type of cochlear implant that is in widespread use today. In partnership with leading Australian medical device firm Nucleus Ltd, their work led to the development of Cochlear Limited, a successful Australian company and the world’s leading cochlear implant provider.
