As a member of Neuroscience Australia, SANI will build commercial platforms in antibody production for neuroscience, neurotrauma research, neuro-imaging and in coordinated sharing of brain tissue via the existing Brain Bank.
In collaboration with other state organizations, SANI will explore the commercial development of its members expertise in specific disease models and preparations.
SANI will act as an incubator to facilitate the translation of research findings into commercial realities, in collaboration with universities’ technology development companies.
How we detect when our stomach is full
Stretching the stomach wall activates sensory neurones in the vagus nerve (left). The nerves responsible for detecting gastric distension, which play an important role in signalling when to stop eating, were recently identified for the first time. They make distinctive endings in ganglia in the muscular wall of the stomach (right, in red).
