Brain imaging links stimulant-use relapse to distinct nerve pathway
A new study by scientists with the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute’s NeuroChoice Initiative reveals that relapse may be linked to quite different brain circuits than addiction itself.
Neuro-omics initiative sheds light on how neuronal connections are formed
New work from Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Liqun Luo and his lab uses a novel proteomics technique developed through the Neuro-omics initiative to understand how a limited number of genes can specify trillions of unique connections.
Ambitious brain recordings create unprecedented portrait of vision in action
Single-cell imaging across the brain’s visual cortex let Wu Tsai Neuro researchers track sensory processing from perception to action, resulting in new insights about the structure of neuronal signaling and new inspiration for computer vision.
Q&A: GVVC director Nicholas Wall has a passion for nature's genetics toolkit
The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute is pleased to welcome Nicholas Wall, PhD, as the new director of the Gene Vector and Virus Core (GVVC), which supports the Stanford neuroscience community through production of powerful viral genetic engineering tools.
Q&A: Secrets of brain health may be hidden in nerve cells’ insulation
Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholars Tal Iram and Miguel Garcia have been working to fill in gaps in neuroscience’s understanding of the development, function, and disease-impact of the brain's long-overlooked oligodendrocytes.
Symposium highlights new imaging facility technology and services
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a central role in the quest to understand the brain, but researchers not experienced with the technique may find the technology and its physics intimidating. The Neuroscience Preclinical Imaging Laboratory (NPIL) at
Q&A: High-throughput brain mapping – a barcode for every synapse
Wu Tsai Neuro interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholar Boxuan Zhao tells us about designing new tools to create a "blueprint" for the brain and the surprising common ground between his passions for chemical biology, triathlon and scuba diving.
Announcing the winners of the inaugural Andrew Olson Scientific Image Awards
Ten images have been selected as winners of the inaugural Andrew Olson Scientific Image Awards, presented by the Neuroscience Microscopy Service (NMS) and sponsored by the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Carl Zeiss.
Q&A: The tip of the iceberg - Building the next generation of neural prosthetics
Former Wu Tsai Neuro interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholar Sergey Stavisky discusses his passion for developing brain computer interfaces to restore speech and movement to people with paralysis.
