From studying post-viral fatigue to engineering transparent mouse brains, round three of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute’s Big Ideas grants will push the bounds of what’s possible

Bioengineers and neuroscientists at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University have developed a highly sensitive tool for detecting brain cells’ subtlest electrical signals.

New software developed by the NeuroPlant Big Ideas in Neuroscience initiative turns an ordinary flatbed scanner and collection of nematode worms into a DIY platform to sniff out both beneficial and harmful plant-based molecules.

We are proud to welcome the 2024 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars — ten young scientists pursuing novel, multi-disciplinary approaches to understanding the workings of the brain.
