Secret of neuron’s shape revealed in study of worms, rodents, people
A collaborative research project across the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute labs and both sides of the Atlantic has discovered a mechanism for keeping neuron’s specialized axons and dendrites separate.
Q&A: Evolution of octopus and squid brains could shed light on origins of intelligence
By studying the independent evolution of the cephalopod nervous system, researchers like Matt McCoy seek to look past the differences to see common features that could teach us fundamental truths about the evolution of intelligence itself.
Q&A: A year in the life of the mouse lemur
Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Interdisciplinary Scholar Shixuan Liu studies seasonal rhythms in the diminutive mouse lemur in the Stanford laboratories of Mark Krasnow and James Ferrell.
Q&A: Balancing top-tier science with activism – a conversation with Black in Neuro's Brielle Ferguson
Brielle Ferguson has excelled not only in top-tier science as a postdoc in the Huguenard lab at Wu Tsai Neuro, but also in the kind of activism and advocacy she hopes can improve the diversity and culture of the scientific community around her. In 2020, s
Robert Malenka wins Peter Seeburg Integrative Neuroscience Prize 2022
The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute congratulates deputy director Robert Malenka for his 2022 Peter Seeburg Integrative Neuroscience Prize.
Stanford researchers observe memory formation in real time
Researchers with the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute have observed the formation of skill-based memories in the brains of mice, potentially leading to improved understanding of learning and Parkinson’s disease.
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: 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.
