By studying never-before-seen details of brain connectivity in human infants, researchers at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute have identified how a balance of innate structure and flexible learning produces our remarkably organized visual brains.

Three teams developing promising neurotechnologies with the potential for tremendous impact on human well-being have been named recipients of the 2025 Neuroscience:Translate awards from the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford.

This week on the podcast, Stanford psychiatry professor Erin Gibson joins us again to share the latest findings on sleep, myelin, and neurodegenerative disease.

How does the brain wire itself for learning? What molecular mechanisms protect neural circuits during aging? These are just some of the research projects by the 2025 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars.
