Humans have relied on plants for millennia to treat a variety of neurological ailments. Now, researchers are using microscopic worms to better understand how plant molecules shape behavior – and perhaps develop better new drugs. Image Research news | Jan 17, 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Researchers discover the brain cells that make pain unpleasant Pain sensation and the emotional experience of pain are not the same, and now, in mice, scientists at Stanford have found the neurons responsible for the latter.

Image Research news | Jan 16, 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute When activated, ‘social’ brain circuits inhibit feeding behavior in mice Researchers at Stanford demonstrated that direct stimulation of fewer than two dozen neurons linked to social interaction was enough to suppress a mouse’s drive to feed itself.

Image Research news | Dec 28, 2018 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Brain scans help predict drug relapse, Stanford researchers find In a small trial, brain scans revealed who was most at risk of relapsing after being treated for addiction to stimulants like amphetamines or cocaine. The finding could identify people who need help staying drug-free.
