The 12th annual Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Symposium explored how our brains and bodies communicate—and what that means for our health and well-being

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia are devastating neurodegenerative diseases. Knight Initiative postdoc Yi Zeng is working to understand the role a central protein plays in both diseases—and whether it might point toward new diagnostics and treatments

The Knight Initiative’s Fall Symposium featured researchers building new molecular atlases of the brain alongside new updates on neurodegenerative disease and what might be done about it.

Research from Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray's lab show that an Alzheimer's hallmark—myriad oily droplets in brain cells called microglia—may help connect several of the disorder’s better known but not well understood features.

Organizers of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute’s 12th annual symposium share exciting new discoveries from the frontiers of the “gut-brain axis.”
