In stroke patients with aphasia, the brain spends too little time processing ambiguous sounds, researchers find, suggesting new targets for precision therapies

Faculty Scholar Guosong Hong and institute affiliates Christoph Thaiss and Steven Banik were among eight Stanford researchers to receive the honor

Researchers from around the world convened at Stanford to present their latest work on neurodegeneration and brain resilience

We speak with cognitive scientist Vinod Menon about the brain networks behind day dreaming, rumination, and our sense of self

Wu Tsai Neuro researcher Vinod Menon and colleagues showed that children with math learning disabilities exhibit distinct brain activity patterns—insights that could pave the way for innovative support strategies

Degradation-resistant proteins pass from neurons to glial cells in a process that may spread protein clumps around the brain, according to a study in mice.

Different genes linked to autism can lead to the same symptoms and molecular pathways, according to a Wu Tsai Neuro Big Ideas-funded collaboration between the Pasca Lab and UCLA Health researchers

Stanford researchers have developed a deep learning model that transforms overwhelming brain data into clear trajectories, opening new possibilities for understanding thought, emotion, and neurological disease

Proteins that start life inside neurons build up faster in old age and spread to other brain cells—a potential source of neurological mischief

Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray and others talked to Nature Aging about aging research

Neuroscientists may have figured out the biochemical basis of why we value something more if we’ve put sweat equity into it

Unlike chronological age, biological age can change and is a reflection of how your body's cells, tissues, and organs are functioning and aging

In a Wu Tsai Neuro seminar, Dani Bassett argued for a new perspective of curiosity

Neural organoids have been revealing 'bombshell secrets about brain development.' But what are they?

The database of lysosomal proteins is already helping researchers study how brain cells’ waste and recycling systems work—or don’t—in Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases

Vincent V.C. Woo Director Kang Shen welcomes the Wu Tsai Neuro community to 2026, reflects on our recent milestones, and wishes the community a happy and productive new year
