Researchers say the brain inflammation in long covid is similar to that in cancer patients. Featuring Michelle Monje.

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.

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.

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

The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign are pleased to announce their fourth round of Neuroscience:Translate awards, which support teams of researchers collaborating across disciplinary boundaries in the neurosciences t

Dr Jamie Zeitzer, who studies sleep medicine at Stanford, agrees that we should stop the constant clock-changing, and that morning light is particularly important.

Biomechanical interactions, rather than neurons, control the movements of one of the simplest animals. The discovery offers a glimpse into how animal behavior worked before neurons evolved.

Zeena Khazendar has been selected as a 2022-23 Newman Civic Fellow by Campus Compact for her work to advance global health access and outcomes.

Neuroscientist Ben Rein never intended to get into science communication. But simple frustration drove him to it after a shopping trip in early April of 2020, he says.

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?

With the publication of the first comprehensive single-cell transcriptional atlas of Drosophila by a global consortium co-led by Wu Tsai Neuro scientists, our understanding of this diminutive scientific heavyweight is reaching new heights.

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

Wu Tsai Neuro researchers have linked a specific gene known to be associated with ALS with a characteristic of the disease, opening avenues for a targeted therapy.

To understand what causes brain degeneration, Wu Tsai Neuro scientists are looking beyond the brain's neurons and synapses to explore the vast infrastructure that supports them.

The Wolf Prize is a prestigious international award given to disciplines in science and art.

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