A protein in cerebrospinal fluid helps boost cells that maintain brain function.

Hypnosis creates “a non-judgmental immersive experience,” says David Spiegel, a Stanford University psychiatrist and leading researcher of hypnosis.

Psychiatrist and author Anna Lembke says, almost every behavior has become "drugified."

Researchers say the brain inflammation in long covid is similar to that in cancer patients. Featuring Michelle Monje.

A deep-learning method can detect autism’s “fingerprints” on a brain scan and predict a person’s social-communication difficulties, according to a new study by Kaustubh Supkekar and colleagues.

Dr Jamie Zeitzer, who studies sleep medicine at Stanford, agrees that we should stop the constant clock-changing, and that morning light is particularly important.

Biomechanical interactions, rather than neurons, control the movements of one of the simplest animals. The discovery offers a glimpse into how animal behavior worked before neurons evolved.

Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain chip, plans to test this year on human subjects. Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Paul Nuyujukian discusses what this means for brain implant science?

Neuroscientist Ben Rein never intended to get into science communication. But simple frustration drove him to it after a shopping trip in early April of 2020, he says.

MBCT NeuroTech trainee Favour Nerrisse is the Chair of the National Society of Black Engineers.

Report warns opioid crisis has a ‘good chance’ of spreading globally as overdose deaths from all drugs increased during the pandemic.

Pointing to an explosion of opioid overdose deaths during the coronavirus pandemic, Stanford researchers called Wednesday for a series of dramatic changes to how governments and society treat those addicted to the drugs, including the ending of incarcerat

Data from mouse models for mild coronavirus infections and human tissue samples offer further evidence that it doesn’t take a severe infection—or even infection of brain cells at all—to cause long-term neurological symptoms.

Stanford neuro-oncologist Michelle Monje is studying the link between "chemo brain" and long Covid's brain fog.

The drumbeat of exercise’s brain benefits may sound familiar. Most of us know that getting our move on can mean a boost to mental and neurological health. But what if, through understanding these biochemical processes, we could get all of that brain gain

Scientists who injected idle mice with blood from athletic mice found improvements in learning and memory. The findings could have implications for Alzheimer’s research and beyond.
