Browse wide-ranging research at the frontiers of neuroscience supported by Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute grants, awards, and training fellowships.
Projects
New tools, analytic methods and conceptual approaches for harnessing plasticity in the human brain
The neural prosthetics translational laboratory
StrokeCog
StrokeCog is focused on cognitive problems after stroke. The team leads a study aimed at identifying if neuroinflammation plays an important role in the development of post-stroke cognitive decline.
Real-time biosensors for measuring multiple neuromodulators
The goal of the project is to create a transformative sensor technology to measure complex forms of chemical communication in the living brain, in real time.
Neurodevelopment Initiative
Elucidating the development of the infant’s brain structure & function.
NeuroPlant Initiative
The NeuroPlant Initiative aims to leverage a botanical armamentarium to manipulate the brain — by building a pipeline to explore chemicals synthesized in plants as potential new treatments for neurological disease and as a window into the chemistry of the brain.
