Stanford team stimulates neurons to induce particular perceptions in mice's minds
Stanford scientists, using only direct brain stimulation, reproduced both the brain dynamics and the behavioral response of mice taught to discriminate between two different images.
Why Are These Mice Hallucinating? Scientists Are in Their Heads
New laser technology appeared to trigger particular images in the brains of lab mice.
Google Glass May Have an Afterlife as a Device to Teach Autistic Children
Privacy concerns caused the computerized eyewear to fail with the general public. But researchers believe it could help autistic children learn to recognize emotion and make eye contact.
Life in a lab: A postdoc who loves bench science
Alakananda Das, a postdoctoral fellow in the Stanford lab of Miriam Goodman, finds pleasure in the successes that follow from sometimes repetitive lab work.
Fish sleep like us, new research has found
Researchers find that neural sleep patterns in fish are analogous to those in mammals, paving ways to develop sleep medication.
Sleep as humans experience it may have emerged 450 million years ago
Scientists who studied a small, transparent fish believe the way humans sleep could have evolved 450 million years ago.
Neural sleep patterns emerged at least 450 million years ago
Researchers have found that brain patterns in sleeping zebrafish are similar to those of land vertebrates, suggesting that such sleep signatures developed before aquatic and land animals diverged.
Like us, fish experience the ‘dreaming’ stage of sleep
Deep sleep and REM sleep could be universal among vertebrates, stretching 450 million years back in evolutionary time.
Life in a lab: A researcher’s passion for teaching
Dail Chapman, a postdoctoral scholar, talks about her work in the lab and her ultimate plans to teach science at a liberal arts college.
These slumbering fish may offer clues to the origins of sleep
Scientists who peered inside snoozing zebrafish have spotted some strikingly familiar patterns of activity.
Discovery in mice points to potential treatment for vestibular disorders
Researchers at Stanford have found a way to regenerate hair cells in the vestibular system of the mouse ear, with implications for treating dizziness.
His probes could revolutionize brain treatments - Guosong Hong
MIT Technology Review announced their '35 Innovators Under 35' list and Guosong Hong is on that list.
Fei-Fei Li wins National Geographic’s Further Award
FEI-FEI LI, co-director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, is the winner of the 2019 National Geographic Further Award.
Stanford researchers outline the role of a deep brain structure in concussion
Concussion researchers have long suggested that damage to the corpus callosum, a thick bundle of nerves that connects the brain's two halves, could result in some common side effects of concussion, like dizziness or vision problems. The assumption is stra
Eleven from Stanford honored with the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers
Twelve Stanford faculty members have been named recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
Two from Stanford named 2019 Rita Allen Foundation Scholars
The Rita Allen Foundation has named Lauren O’Connell, assistant professor of biology, and Vivianne Tawfik, assistant professor of anesthesiology, perioperative and pain medicine, to its 2019 class of Rita Allen Foundation Scholars, celebrating 10 young le
Immune cells invade aging brains, disrupt new nerve cell formation
Stanford researchers have found intrusive immune cells in a place in the brains of humans and older mice where new nerve cells are born. The intruders appear to impair nerve cell generation.
Life in a Lab: From mechanical engineering to neuroscience
Grad student Adam Nekimken develops tiny mechanical devices to help researchers touch their worms in more controlled ways. Here, he talks about his path to this work.
President Donald J. Trump Announces Recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers
Today, President Donald J. Trump announced the recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).
Muting an inflammatory loudspeaker on immune cells shrinks acute stroke damage
Selectively subduing a set of cells that migrate to the brain after a stroke occurs could meaningfully treat the stroke even days later.
