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.

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

This week on the podcast, Stanford radiology faculty Kim Butts Pauly and Raag Airan help us dive deep into the brain with focused ultrasound

A new generation of researchers at Stanford’s Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute is developing tools to modify brain activity for research and clinical applications—without drilling through the skull.

The Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience supports 14 high-risk, high-reward projects to advance brain health and resilience research, fostering bold research across various scientific disciplines.

A new study in rats by Institute affiliate Raag Airan — supported by a Wu Tsai Neuro seed grant — looked at whether ketamine’s effects depend on opioid pathways and uncovered a surprising difference between males and females.

Researchers designed, built, and tested a new focused ultrasound neuromodulation system for preclinical brain research supported by a Seed Grant.

Geared toward increasing accessibility of brain imaging technologies to scientists throughout campus, the NPIL's “MRI for Neuroscientists” symposium brought together researchers from across Stanford schools and departments to share firsthand insights.
