Image Press coverage | May 17 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Autism mutation may cause big brain via ‘don’t eat me’ signals An autism-linked mutation could make the brain grow unusually big by prompting cells to express a “don’t eat me” signal, according to a new study. Image Press coverage | May 13 2021 CNN Paralyzed man uses his mind to form real-time sentences A man paralyzed from the neck down for almost a decade has used his mind to compose whole sentences in real-time, according to a new study. Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 New Scientist David Eagleman interview: How our brains could create whole new senses Neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to remodel itself, enables us to interpret all kinds of sensations. We can use that to create new ways to perceive the world, says neuroscientist David Eagleman Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Man who is paralyzed communicates by imagining handwriting A man who is paralyzed was able to type with 95% accuracy by imagining that he was handwriting letters on a sheet of paper, a team reported in the journal Nature. Image Research news | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Software turns ‘mental handwriting’ into on-screen words, sentences Artificial intelligence, interpreting data from a device placed at the brain’s surface, enables people who are paralyzed or have severely impaired limb movement to communicate by text. Image Press coverage | Apr 28 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Study examines experience-dependent contextual codes in the hippocampus The hippocampus is a brain structure within the temporal lobe known to play a key role in memory and learning.

Ten Stanford faculty have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the country’s oldest and most prestigious honorary learned societies. Image Research news | Sep 28 2020 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Stanford scientists solve secret of nerve cells marking a form of schizophrenia A common genetic deletion boosts the risk for schizophrenia by 30-fold. Generating nerve cells from people with the deletion has showed Stanford researchers why. Image Research news | Jul 29 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Key gene behind hallmark of Lou Gehrig’s disease identified Stanford researchers identified a gene crucial to the formation of toxic proteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and showed how it could inform potential therapies for the disease. Image Research news | Jul 18 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Stanford team stimulates neurons to induce particular perceptions in mice's mind...
