Stanford University scientists have identified a brain circuit that controls sex drive in male mice, a finding researchers say could one day lead to a better understanding of human sexuality. If replicated in people, the findings could significantly boost Image Featured 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 Research 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.
