By making two different alterations to a single messenger protein, researchers induced the body’s biochemical control system to target two very different conditions.

This work marks the beginning of an effort to better understand memory and memory loss in older adults using advanced imaging and data analysis techniques.

Engineers and biomedical experts have developed a new technique to help scientists better understand how our brains work and aid in the development of new drugs.

In U.S. hospitals, the frequency of brain imaging for acute stroke patients dipped, suggesting hesitancy to seek medical care for non-COVID-19 conditions.

ChEM-H graduate students reveal how the forest of sugars on a cell’s surface could help in the defense against flu infection.

Markedly different conclusions about brain scans reached by 70 independent teams highlight the challenges to data analysis in the modern era of mammoth datasets and highly flexible processing workflows.

This accomplished professor, researcher, academician and entrepreneur is poised to apply her experience to new leadership challenges.

Stanford Medicine researchers have found a gene variant that protects carriers of another gene variant, ApoE4, from developing Alzheimer’s disease — the first demonstration of that beneficial effect.

The ability to make fine visual discriminations between two stimuli runs up against a natural barrier created by large groups of ‘noisy’ neurons behaving similarly.

Pairing brain scans with virtual-navigation tasks, researchers found that people make less efficient and effective plans when stressed.

Stanford is looking to expand the only facility on campus where researchers can work with the virus that causes COVID-19. Once underway, the expansion could be completed in six months and would greatly speed research toward treatment and prevention.

A study from Stanford Medicine researchers and their collaborators that provides evidence that the drug azlocillin eliminates the bacteria that cause Lyme disease at the onset of infection in lab mice and cultures.

A new device enables researchers to observe hundreds of neurons in the brain in real-time. The system is based on modified silicon chips from cameras, but rather than taking a picture, it takes a movie of the neural electrical activity.

Stanford researchers have developed a method to genetically reprogram cells to build artificial structures.

A Stanford researcher and two collaborators conducted an extensive review of Alcoholics Anonymous studies and found that the fellowship helps more people achieve sobriety than therapy does.

Our brains can predict the popularity of online videos, without us even knowing it.
