Combination of physical fitness and aortic stiffness explains rate of memory decline in older peopleThe rate of decline in certain aspects of memory may be explained by a combination of overall physical fitness and the stiffness of the central arteries, researchers from Swinburne's Centre for Human Psychopharmacology have found.
 
 
 Multidisciplinary Human-Focused Research
 
Multidisciplinary Human-Focused ResearchThe work that we're doing in particular involves the development of better models of the human body. To do that, we need to put together cells, tissues, culture them in an artificial environment so that they feel as if they're inside the human body.
