Full Description:: In the lead up to the 2021 Bridge to Brisbane, the Queensland Brain Institute is inviting their fundraising heroes, their supporters, and members of the community to visit and learn about research into how exercise and a healthy diet impact the brain.

During the information evening, Dr Tara Walker will discuss how exercise can increase the production of new brain cells and consequently limit cognitive decline during ageing and neurodegenerative diseases. Trent Payne from the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences will speak on how to both maximise your exercise performance and recovery to also fuel your brain with optimal nutrition.
Marathon favourite and intraining athlete, Clay Dawson, will also share his running tips leading into race day. The talks will be followed by light refreshments.
