Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Sharon Sha shared her expertise on Frontotemporal Dementia amid Wendy Williams' diagnosis.

Wu Tsai Neuro faculty scholar Paul Nuyujukian shares his expertise on brain-computer interfaces amid Neuralink's first human brain implant.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research awards Sergiu P. Paşca the 2024 ISSCR Momentum Award for his achievements in neurodevelopment and disease.

Even just one night of less than six hours of rest can impair short-term memory according to experts, including Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Sharon Sha.

NBC Bay Area’s Raj Mathai spoke to Wu Tsai Neuro Institute Scholar Paul Nuyujukian for insight on the first brain chip in a human patient.

Institute Scholar Paul Nuyujukian contributes to the discussion of Neuralink implanting a brain chip into a human.

In a live interview, Wu Tsai Neuro Institute Scholar Paul Nuyujukian tells NBC News how Neuralink technology works and the future of brain-computer interfaces.

A 3D variation of pooled CRISPR screens could connect the dots between autism spectrum disorder genetics and cell fate pathways in the developing brain.

Neuroscientists have long been frustrated that they cannot access or examine brain tissue. But by reserve-engineering cells in the lab, Sergiu Pașca can now study brain disorders on a molecular level.

How to know if your organs are ‘older’ than you are, and ways to slow down biological aging according to Knight Initiative director Tony Wyss-Coray and others.

Knight Initiative director Tony Wyss-Coray and others are leading the development of a test measuring organ-specific proteins in the blood as a simple and sensible way to estimate biological age.

Researchers designed, built, and tested a new focused ultrasound neuromodulation system for preclinical brain research supported by a Seed Grant.

The science to advance our understanding of the aging process—and to potentially slow it down—has made important strides. One of the leading scientists responsible for this work is Professor Tony Wyss-Coray, whose work has focused on brain aging.

It turns out that your chronological age really is just a number. What’s more important for knowing disease risk is the biological age of each of your organs.

In today’s mostly plague- and famine-free world, if you can avoid more modern scourges like gun and car violence, you can expect your death to arrive not with a bang but a whimper; when one of your organs sput-sput-sputters out.

Ketamine was no more effective than placebo in reducing depressive symptoms in surgical patients with major depression, results of a new study, which contradict prior research, suggest.
