Bronowski Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience
The Bronowski Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience is a financially independent, philanthropic, not-for-profit scientific research organisation that undertakes clinical and basic research into disorders of brain function and addresses problems of altered biological function in animals and man. It is fully licensed by state and federal governing bodies to undertake scientific research. As funding has been provided by private means, the Institute can be referred to as an Independent Research Organisation (IRO) and the founder, Dr. Gregory Willis, an Independent Scientist.
The research laboratories are located in the State of Victoria, in the Macedon Ranges, north of Melbourne, with The Bronowski Clinic operating in Woodend and at the Coliban Medical Centre in Kyneton. Projects covering a diversity of areas in behavioural biology are carried out with research staff, collaborators and students from academic institutions within Australia and overseas.
==History==
The Bronowski Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience was set up in 1991 in response to a perceived need for scientists to be able to undertake important work in the absence of reliable support from funding bodies and governments. After more than a decade of research and teaching at the Monash University Department of Psychiatry at Prince Henry’s Hospital, the founder set out to establish premises and obtain funding to investigate the cause and treatment of Parkinson's disease and to undertake research in other areas of biological science.
The original work was undertaken at a very modest facility which underwent gradual conversion from 1991 to the present. Personal investment by the founder, and allied supporters, has been the key behind transformation of the facility from little more than a shed to modern premises where significant discoveries have been published in major biomedical journals.〔(Willis, G. L., Moore, C. & Armstrong, S. M. (2014). “Parkinson's disease, lights and melanocytes: looking beyond the retina”. ''Scientific Reports: Nature'', 4 (3921): 10.1038/srep03921 ), Doi: (10.1038/srep03921 ). PMID: (24473093 ).〕〔(Willis, G. L. & Armstrong, S. M. (1999). “A therapeutic role for melatonin antagonism in experimental models of Parkinson's disease”. ''Physiology and Behaviour'', 66 (5): 785-795. ), PMID: (10405106 ).〕〔(Willis, G. L., Moore, C. & Armstrong, S. M. (2012). “A historical justification for and retrospective analysis of the systematic application of light therapy in Parkinson's disease”. ''Reviews in the Neurosciences'', 23 (2): 199-226. ), Doi: (10.1515/revneuro-2011-0072 ). PMID: (22499678 ).〕〔(Willis, G. L., Moore, C. & Armstrong, S. M. (2012). “Breaking away from dopamine deficiency: an essential new direction for Parkinson's disease”. ''Reviews in the Neurosciences'', 23 (4): 403-428. ), Doi: (10.1515/revneuro-2012-0037 ).PMID: (23089606 ).〕 This is of particular significance in the historical context of scientists who emerged from the most humble beginnings (Albert Einstein) or have been forced to pursue their work at whatever cost, wherever they can (Marie Curie, Galileo). Hence, the twin motifs for The Bronowski Institute (shown below) depict and thereby acknowledge the accomplishments of scientists such as Marie and Pierre Curie, Albert Einstein and Galileo Galilei in a most improbable environment for achieving scientific success.
