Brain wave data identifies two psychiatric subtypes and can predict best treatments for PTSD and depression, Stanford research shows.

Using a new algorithm, a team of researchers have reconstructed the movements of individual particles of light to see through clouds, fog and other obstructions.

Annelise Barron, Peter Kim, Siddhartha Jaiswal and Keren Haroush will receive grants totaling $10 million to fund their investigations. The awards support risky efforts that could potentially have a big impact in the biomedical sciences.

Scientists used light to control the firing of specific cells to artificially create a rhythm in the brain that acted like the drug ketamine

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.

Findings show deficits in the electrical activity of cortical cells; possible targets for treatment for 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

Every moment of every day, every person on Earth ages. The phenomenon is as ubiquitous as it is inescapable…for now.

Stanford scientists identified brain circuitry that plays a role in the mysterious experience called dissociation, in which people can feel disconnected from their bodies and reality.

A Stanford physician co-authored a list of likely biological factors underlying the reduced development of COVID-19 for children compared to adults.

Using a new algorithm, Stanford researchers have reconstructed the movements of individual particles of light to see through clouds, fog and other obstructions.

A study from Stanford researchers documents "aggressive and deceptive" ways that companies have used COVID-19 to market vaping products.

Lim, a clinician, surgeon and researcher at Johns Hopkins who has focused largely on immunotherapy for brain tumors, will succeed Gary Steinberg as chair of the department, starting Sept. 1.

Today’s brain implants already connect the nervous system to electronic devices to help people with spinal cord injuries regain some motor control. But they use ungainly wires.

Guosong Hong, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, is the 2020 Science & PINS Prize for Neuromodulation finalist for his essay “Seeing the Sound.”

Stanford chemists have developed a new tool that shuttles unwanted cell surface proteins to their deaths.

Stanford-led research finds that the blood-brain barrier may be much more permeable -- albeit selectively so -- than previously thought.
