Press coverage | Aug 29 2018 NPR Ketamine, A Promising Depression Treatment, Seems To Act Like An Opioid A new study suggests that ketamine, an increasingly popular treatment for depression, has something in common with drugs like fentanyl and oxycodone. Image Research news | Aug 8 2018 Stanford Medicine - Scope On/off sociability switch in brain identified, could play a role in autism The release of a single signaling chemical from a specific nerve-cell tract in a particular part of the brain, like an on/off switch, may spell the difference between sociability and social awkwardness. Image Research news | Aug 8 2018 Stanford Medicine - News Center Scientists tie specific brain circuit to sociability in mice Autism spectrum disorder is marked by severe social deficits. Stanford researchers were able to reverse those types of deficits in mice by activating a single brain circuit. Image Research news | Aug 7 2018 Stanford Medicine - Scope A nanoparticle opens new windows into neuroscience and biology Neurons in the brain and body send chemical signals from one to the next. Now, scientists led by Stanford's Steven Chu are a step closer to watching those signals take shape inside individual neurons. Image Research news | Jul 30 2018 Stanford Medicine - Scope “Mood mirror” in blood: Might its absence bring on the blues? Stanford psychiatric researcher Natalie Rasgon, MD, PhD, and her collaborators in a multicenter study have identified a substance, acetyl-L-choline, whose levels in the blood of people suffering from depression are correspondingly depressed. Image Research news | Jul 30 2018 Stanford Medicine - News Center Study links depression to low blood levels of acetyl-L-carnitine Investigators at Stanford and elsewhere have shown, for the first time in humans, that low blood levels of acetyl-L-carnitine track with the severity and duration of depression.
