Tessier-Lavigne shares the prize with two other neuroscientists. They are being recognized for discoveries revealing the molecular mechanisms that guide axon development in neural circuits.
By making two different alterations to a single messenger protein, researchers induced the body’s biochemical control system to target two very different conditions.
Stanford Vice Provost and Dean of Research Kathryn Moler wants all research resources to be as readily available as books in a library. This model would enable faculty and students to pursue the most innovative research in flexible, collaborative teams.
This work marks the beginning of an effort to better understand memory and memory loss in older adults using advanced imaging and data analysis techniques.
Karl Deisseroth was awarded the prize for developing optogenetics, which enables remote manipulation of nerve cells using light, and hydrogel-tissue chemistry, which lets light and molecular probes travel through biological tissue
Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute partners with the Vice Provost for Graduate Education to award Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowships (SIGFs) in the area of neuroscience.
Engineers and biomedical experts have developed a new technique to help scientists better understand how our brains work and aid in the development of new drugs.
In U.S. hospitals, the frequency of brain imaging for acute stroke patients dipped, suggesting hesitancy to seek medical care for non-COVID-19 conditions.
