Brain wave data identifies two psychiatric subtypes and can predict best treatments for PTSD and depression, Stanford research shows.

Using a new algorithm, a team of researchers have reconstructed the movements of individual particles of light to see through clouds, fog and other obstructions.

A common genetic deletion boosts the risk for schizophrenia by 30-fold. Generating nerve cells from people with the deletion has showed Stanford researchers why.

Every moment of every day, every person on Earth ages. The phenomenon is as ubiquitous as it is inescapable…for now.

Stanford scientists identified brain circuitry that plays a role in the mysterious experience called dissociation, in which people can feel disconnected from their bodies and reality.

A Stanford physician co-authored a list of likely biological factors underlying the reduced development of COVID-19 for children compared to adults.

Using a new algorithm, Stanford researchers have reconstructed the movements of individual particles of light to see through clouds, fog and other obstructions.

A study from Stanford researchers documents "aggressive and deceptive" ways that companies have used COVID-19 to market vaping products.

Today’s brain implants already connect the nervous system to electronic devices to help people with spinal cord injuries regain some motor control. But they use ungainly wires.

Stanford chemists have developed a new tool that shuttles unwanted cell surface proteins to their deaths.

Stanford-led research finds that the blood-brain barrier may be much more permeable -- albeit selectively so -- than previously thought.

Researchers combined avalanche physics with ecosystem data to create a computational method for predicting extreme ecological events. The method may also have applications in economics and politics.

This device offers a significantly faster and easier method for detecting ammonia levels in blood, which can reach dangerous levels in people with certain diseases and genetic conditions.

Removing memories associated with morphine use from the brains of mice enables Stanford researchers to prevent relapse and could point to a new approach for treating the opioid epidemic.

Tracking brainwave patterns and symptoms in patients with depression, researchers used artificial intelligence to predict best treatment options.

Researchers have created a device that can integrate and interact with neuron-like cells. This could be an early step toward an artificial synapse for use in brain-computer interfaces.
