Image Research news | Aug 1 2023 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Seeking better treatments for preterm babies in the “second brain” Researchers with Stanford’s Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute aim to improve gut motility and health outcomes for preterm babies through foundational research on the nervous system of the gut, called the enteric nervous system (ENS). Image Podcast episodes | Feb 16 2023 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Your gut - the second brain? Your gut has up to 600 million neurons — as many as a fruit bat's brain. Wu Tsai Neuro Faculty Scholar Julia Kaltschmidt explains why we sometimes call it our "second brain."
