Image Research news | May 6, 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Stanford researchers identify brain region activated by Pokémon characters Adults who played Pokémon videogames extensively as children have a brain region that responds preferentially to images of Pikachu and other characters from the series. Image Research news | May 1, 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Hormone reduces social impairment in kids with autism In a Stanford study of 30 children with autism, intranasal vasopressin improved social skills more than a placebo, suggesting that the hormone may treat core features of the disorder. Image Press coverage | May 1, 2019 Science Can manipulating a ‘social’ hormone’s activity treat autism? Opposite approaches to altering the activity of vasopressin in the brain improved some social deficits in people with autism.
