Image Research news | Jun 10 2019 Stanford Medicine - News Center Medical marijuana does not reduce opioid deaths Revisiting a 2014 study that suggested states with medical marijuana saw fewer opioid deaths, Stanford researchers in fact found no connection between marijuana availability and fatal opioid overdoses. Image Research news | May 17 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Brain surgeons turn to basic science to fight childhood brain cancer In 2012, a pair of neurosurgery residents traded their scrubs for lab coats in an effort to understand, at the most basic level, what causes medulloblastoma, the most common pediatric brain cancer. Image Research news | May 6 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Stanford researchers identify brain region activated by Pokémon characters Adults who played Pokémon videogames extensively as children have a brain region that responds preferentially to images of Pikachu and other characters from the series. Image Research news | May 1 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Hormone reduces social impairment in kids with autism In a Stanford study of 30 children with autism, intranasal vasopressin improved social skills more than a placebo, suggesting that the hormone may treat core features of the disorder. Image Press coverage | May 1 2019 Science Can manipulating a ‘social’ hormone’s activity treat autism? Opposite approaches to altering the activity of vasopressin in the brain improved some social deficits in people with autism.
