Different genes linked to autism can lead to the same symptoms and molecular pathways, according to a Wu Tsai Neuro Big Ideas-funded collaboration between the Pasca Lab and UCLA Health researchers

Stanford researchers have developed a deep learning model that transforms overwhelming brain data into clear trajectories, opening new possibilities for understanding thought, emotion, and neurological disease

Proteins that start life inside neurons build up faster in old age and spread to other brain cells—a potential source of neurological mischief

Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray and others talked to Nature Aging about aging research

Neuroscientists may have figured out the biochemical basis of why we value something more if we’ve put sweat equity into it

Unlike chronological age, biological age can change and is a reflection of how your body's cells, tissues, and organs are functioning and aging

In a Wu Tsai Neuro seminar, Dani Bassett argued for a new perspective of curiosity

Neural organoids have been revealing 'bombshell secrets about brain development.' But what are they?

The database of lysosomal proteins is already helping researchers study how brain cells’ waste and recycling systems work—or don’t—in Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases

Vincent V.C. Woo Director Kang Shen welcomes the Wu Tsai Neuro community to 2026, reflects on our recent milestones, and wishes the community a happy and productive new year

From studying post-viral fatigue to engineering transparent mouse brains, round three of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute’s Big Ideas grants will push the bounds of what’s possible

Researchers assessed volunteers’ brain activity while they listened to stories, showing that strokes disrupt how the brain retains speech sounds.

A recent meeting gathered scientists, ethicists, patient advocates and more to discuss organoid ethics.

Researchers studying the human brain shared a lot of fascinating research last year, including a study from Wu Tsai Neuro scientists who replicated the brain's pain circuits.

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

We speak with neurologist Katrin Andreasson about new links between inflammation, metabolism and new hopes for treating neurodegeneration
