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.

New laser technology appeared to trigger particular images in the brains of lab mice.

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.

Alakananda Das, a postdoctoral fellow in the Stanford lab of Miriam Goodman, finds pleasure in the successes that follow from sometimes repetitive lab work.

Researchers find that neural sleep patterns in fish are analogous to those in mammals, paving ways to develop sleep medication.

Scientists who studied a small, transparent fish believe the way humans sleep could have evolved 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.

Deep sleep and REM sleep could be universal among vertebrates, stretching 450 million years back in evolutionary time.

Dail Chapman, a postdoctoral scholar, talks about her work in the lab and her ultimate plans to teach science at a liberal arts college.

Scientists who peered inside snoozing zebrafish have spotted some strikingly familiar patterns of activity.

Researchers at Stanford have found a way to regenerate hair cells in the vestibular system of the mouse ear, with implications for treating dizziness.

MIT Technology Review announced their '35 Innovators Under 35' list and Guosong Hong is on that list.

FEI-FEI LI, co-director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, is the winner of the 2019 National Geographic Further Award.

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

Twelve Stanford faculty members have been named recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.

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

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.

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.

Today, President Donald J. Trump announced the recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).

Selectively subduing a set of cells that migrate to the brain after a stroke occurs could meaningfully treat the stroke even days later.
