Massaging key parts of the brain with a pulsating magnetic field can do wonders for some living with chronic depression. For others, it falls well short of promising a life without a debilitating mood disorder.

The ability to make fine visual discriminations between two stimuli runs up against a natural barrier created by large groups of ‘noisy’ neurons behaving similarly.

Pairing brain scans with virtual-navigation tasks, researchers found that people make less efficient and effective plans when stressed. Image Research news | Apr 1 2020 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Stanford seeking to expand space for COVID-19 research Stanford is looking to expand the only facility on campus where researchers can work with the virus that causes COVID-19. Once underway, the expansion could be completed in six months and would greatly speed research toward treatment and prevention. Image Research news | Mar 30 2020 Stanford Scope Lyme disease bacteria eradicated by new drug in early tests A study from Stanford Medicine researchers and their collaborators that provides evidence that the drug azlocillin eliminates the bacteria that cause Lyme disease at the onset of infection in lab mice and cultures. Image Research news | Mar 20 2020 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Stanford device brings silicon computing power to brain research and prosthetics A new device enables researchers to observe hundreds of neurons in the brain in real-time. The system is based on modified silicon chips from cameras, but rather than taking a picture, it takes a movie of the neural electrical activity.
