Stanford undergrads and local community college students paired with Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute researchers to find new ways to head off strokes, predict Alzheimer's disease, and more.

Stanford researchers reviewed over 400 therapy evaluations and discovered a crucial mismatch: Mouse studies test disease prevention, while human trials test treatment of existing disease.

Stanford Medicine researchers discuss the brain’s ancient wiring and how its built-in reward-seeking system can be hijacked by addiction—as well as ways to prevent and treat it.

The lab’s second crop of pilot awards will foster research in visual attention, the neurophysiology of exercise, and therapies for autism and mild cognitive impairment associated with aging.

Andreasson received the Inge Grundke-Iqbal Award for her work on restoring cognition in Alzheimer's. Karly Cody, a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Knight Initiative researcher Elizabeth Mormino, was also honored.

The Global Neurodegeneration Proteomics Consortium gathered a trove of data on potential signs of neurological disease—and researchers including Knight Initiative director Tony Wyss-Coray are already using it to make new discoveries.

Knight Initiative-funded research ran the gamut from chemistry to public health, but one theme brought it all together: Studying what makes the brain resilient will help more people live better lives.

Join us as we look back on some of the key studies we covered here at Wu Tsai Neuro in 2024 to give a (very partial) overview of the impact of our community’s research efforts this past year

To advance neuroscience research using EEG and TMS technologies, the Koret Human Neurosciences Community Lab has awarded its inaugural Human Neuroscience Pilot Grants to ten innovative research projects.

Disabling the notorious APOE4 gene might protect against the disease, according to research from Michael Greicius and team.

How to know if your organs are ‘older’ than you are, and ways to slow down biological aging according to Knight Initiative director Tony Wyss-Coray and others.

Knight Initiative director Tony Wyss-Coray and others are leading the development of a test measuring organ-specific proteins in the blood as a simple and sensible way to estimate biological age.

We are proud to welcome the 2024 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars — ten young scientists pursuing novel, multi-disciplinary approaches to understanding the workings of the brain.

The science to advance our understanding of the aging process—and to potentially slow it down—has made important strides. One of the leading scientists responsible for this work is Professor Tony Wyss-Coray, whose work has focused on brain aging.

The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University is proud to announce the recipients of its fifth round of Seed Grants.

A new study co-authored by Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray demonstrates a simple way of studying organ aging by analyzing distinct proteins in blood, enabling the prediction of individuals’ risk for diseases.
