Cancer treatment with a cell-based immunotherapy causes mild cognitive impairment, according to research by Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Michelle Monje and colleagues. They also identified compounds that could treat it.

Improving cells’ ability to sort and recycle components—including cholesterol—could lead to therapies for a wide range of neurodegenerative conditions.

In a new study, researchers created an AI model of the mouse visual cortex that predicts neuronal responses to visual images.

Researchers with the Wu Tsai Neuro–funded Stanford Brain Organogenesis project have rebuilt, in laboratory glassware, the neural pathway that sends information from the body’s periphery to the brain.
