The Phil and Penny Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience is proud to announce the recipients of its inaugural 2022 Innovation and Catalyst Grants.

Tool-builder Sean Bendall discusses Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging (MIBI), a powerful new tissue imaging technology that might shine a light on key questions in neurodegenerative disease, including what makes some brains seemingly resilient to Alzheimer’s.

Clever design leads to a polymer that combines stretchiness with high electrical conductivity.

By stretching the length of deep sleep, Tucker’s device aims to boost that overnight wash cycle. Someday soon, he hopes, something like it will be widely used by people to clear their heads — literally.

A new string-like implant can monitor fluctuations in brain chemicals, like a fitness tracker for the brain.

Ten images have been selected as winners of the inaugural Andrew Olson Scientific Image Awards, presented by the Neuroscience Microscopy Service (NMS) and sponsored by the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Carl Zeiss.

A deep-learning method can detect autism’s “fingerprints” on a brain scan and predict a person’s social-communication difficulties, according to a new study by Kaustubh Supkekar and colleagues.

Wu Tsai Neuro faculty scholar Guosong Hong and colleagues have developed the first non-invasive technique for controlling targeted brain circuits in behaving animals from a distance. The tool gives neuroscientists the ability to flexibly test the function

Former Wu Tsai Neuro interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholar Sergey Stavisky discusses his passion for developing brain computer interfaces to restore speech and movement to people with paralysis.

Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain chip, plans to test this year on human subjects. Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Paul Nuyujukian discusses what this means for brain implant science?

MBCT NeuroTech trainee Favour Nerrisse is the Chair of the National Society of Black Engineers.

The Wu Tsai Neuro affiliates join three other Stanford faculty members named 2022 Sloan Research Fellows.

AI can reveal remarkable medical insights, but only if patients and doctors have faith in it. Thus, trust has become AI’s singular goal, says this Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate.

Neuroscientists face a paradox. The field aims to understand the mysteries of the human mind, but studying the actual human brain cells and circuits that produce our mental lives—and how they go awry in neuropsychiatric disease—is incredibly challenging.

The chair of the School of Engineering’s Department of Chemical Engineering received the award for her innovations in bio-interfacing wearable health monitoring devices.

The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute is proud to welcome its eighth cohort of interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholars, comprising six young scientists with backgrounds in computer science, psychology, education, engineering and pharmacology.
