Seven Stanford faculty, including Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray, are among the 502 new fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Wu Tsai Neuro research suggests giant genes could hold the key to the development of complex nervous systems across the animal kingdom.

New research supported by Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute could lead to novel treatments for demyelinating disorders such as multiple sclerosis.

Recent research supported by the Knight Initiative has identified a link between lipid droplets in the microglia to a known genetic risk factor for AD.

Two new studies supported by the Knight Initiative highlight groundbreaking new early biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative disease.

Research supported by the Knight Initiative found that metformin, a commonly prescribed diabetes drug associated with moderate weight loss, stimulates the production of lac-phe, a molecule abundant after exercise.

Dentate spikes in the rodent hippocampus support learning by linking introspective thoughts and memories with current circumstances, according to new research supported by the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute.

Julia Salzman transitioned from a statistics professor at Columbia University to a postdoctoral researcher in a biochemistry lab at Stanford to merge statistics with biology and redefine genomics analysis. She shares her unique journey to becoming a professor in data science, biochemistry, and statistics at Stanford.

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

This week on From Our Neurons to Yours, we sit down with Stanford neurobiologist Lisa Giocomo to explore the intersection of memory and navigation.

A new AI model developed by Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Vinod Menon and team can distinguish between male and female brains, playing a crucial role in human brain development, aging, and the manifestation of psychiatric and neurological disorders.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research awards Sergiu P. Paşca the 2024 ISSCR Momentum Award for his achievements in neurodevelopment and disease.

This week, we talk with psychiatrist Neir Eshel about dopamine, the difference between 'liking' and 'wanting,' and new ways of thinking about Parkinson's disease and addiction.

Leaders of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute reflect on a decade of boundary-breaking study of the brain and what lies ahead for Stanford’s widespread neurosciences community.

Neuroscientists have long been frustrated that they cannot access or examine brain tissue. But by reserve-engineering cells in the lab, Sergiu Pașca can now study brain disorders on a molecular level.
