Lisa Giocomo and colleagues find that initial memory formation may involve both awareness of our location as well as what we were feeling when we were there.

Robert Sapolsky, comments on a study that found rats categorize other rats into “us” and “them.”

Researchers from Wu Tsai Neuro and Stanford HAI settle a seemingly intractable historical debate in neuroscience — opening a world of possibilities for using AI to study the brain.

Stanford bioengineer and neuroscientist Karl Deisseroth, MD, PhD, is a pioneer in developing game-changing technologies that enable scientists to probe the brain's circuitry in a methodical search for the roots of behavior.

Stanford study shows children recycle brain regions when acquiring new skills

The ability to see and recognize objects is crucial for human behavior.

Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute member Shaul Druckmann, PhD, has been named to receive a 2021 McKnight Foundation Scholar Award for his research into how the brain computes using activity distributed across populations and brain areas.

Two multifunctional cell surface molecules help direct neural network assembly in the developing mouse brain

Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute advances its ambitious “Big Ideas” Initiatives to the next level

Researchers created an algorithm to identify similar cell types from species – including fish, mice, flatworms and sponges – that have diverged for hundreds of millions of years, which could help fill in gaps in our understanding of evolution.

An autism-linked mutation could make the brain grow unusually big by prompting cells to express a “don’t eat me” signal, according to a new study.

A man paralyzed from the neck down for almost a decade has used his mind to compose whole sentences in real-time, according to a new study.

Artificial intelligence, interpreting data from a device placed at the brain’s surface, enables people who are paralyzed or have severely impaired limb movement to communicate by text.

Neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to remodel itself, enables us to interpret all kinds of sensations. We can use that to create new ways to perceive the world, says neuroscientist David Eagleman

A man who is paralyzed was able to type with 95% accuracy by imagining that he was handwriting letters on a sheet of paper, a team reported in the journal Nature.

The hippocampus is a brain structure within the temporal lobe known to play a key role in memory and learning.
