From studying post-viral fatigue to engineering transparent mouse brains, round three of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute’s Big Ideas grants will push the bounds of what’s possible

A recent meeting gathered scientists, ethicists, patient advocates and more to discuss organoid ethics.

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

Join us as we look back on some of the key studies we covered here at Wu Tsai Neuro and the Knight Initiative in 2025 to give a (very partial) overview of the impact of our community’s research efforts this past year

Stanford Data Science and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute have launched a collaborative hub to accelerate discovery in neuroscience and train the next generation of data-driven neuroscientists

The 12th annual Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Symposium explored how our brains and bodies communicate—and what that means for our health and well-being

Neuroradiologist Raag Airan and his lab have found a non-invasive, drug-free method to help clean the brain, reduce inflammation, and treat disease—and with Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience support, they plan to test it in people soon.

The Knight Initiative’s Fall Symposium featured researchers building new molecular atlases of the brain alongside new updates on neurodegenerative disease and what might be done about it.

Researchers from around the university will collaborate to deepen our understanding of the brain.

What could make a promising approach to psychiatry and brain research even better? A solid beat.

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.

In a new study in rats, scientists used ultrasound-activated nanoparticles to deliver ketamine and anesthetics to precise targets in the brain.

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.

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.

In this interview on the Huberman Lab podcast, Institute affiliate E.J. Chichilnisky discusses how studying the retina informs our understanding of the brain, the development of artificial retinas for treating incurable blindness, and his own personal journey.
