Wu Tsai Neuro interdisciplinary scholar Renzhi Yang and colleagues in the lab of institute affiliate Nirao Shah have found that a particular neuronal circuit in male mice is responsible for sexual arousal and for the actions and pleasure that ensue. Image news | Aug 7 2023 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute New Tool Expands the Horizons for Neuron Sequencing Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Bo Wang’s team expanded mouse brain tissue to improve the resolution of spatial transcriptomics techniques. Their method — called Ex-ST — greatly improves the ability to map brain circuits by cell type. Image news | Aug 2 2023 Stanford Engineering A New Device Records Brain Activity from Inside Blood Vessels The new tool, pioneered by Anqi Zhang, now a Stanford postdoc with Karl Deisseroth and Zhenan Bao, could make it possible to study and treat the brain without causing tissue damage.
