One of the leading scientists responsible for this work is Professor Tony Wyss-Coray, whose work has focused on brain aging. Image news | Dec 18 2023 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Neurosciences seed grants fuel research in childhood epilepsy, eating disorders,... The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University is proud to announce the recipients of its fifth round of Seed Grants. Image news | Dec 11 2023 Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Register for Parkinson's Symposium on Jan 25 Please join us on January 25 from 12:30pm – 6:30pm for a half-day symposium focused on the science of Parkinson's Disease. REgistration is required, register by January 22, 2024. Image news | Dec 6 2023 Stanford Medicine Stanford Medicine-led study finds way to predict which of our organs will fail f... A new study co-authored by Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray demonstrates a simple way of studying organ aging by analyzing distinct proteins in blood, enabling the prediction of individuals’ risk for diseases. Image news | Dec 6 2023 Scientific American Your Organs Might Be Aging at Different Rates It turns out that your chronological age really is just a number. What’s more important for knowing disease risk is the biological age of each of your organs. Image news | Nov 10 2023 Stanford Medicine Magazine Can we get along? Stanford Medicine queried Wu Tsai Neuro and Knight Initiative affiliates share their expertise on the what the human brain are thinking about humans vs AI. Image news | Oct 30 2023 Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Surprising finding links sleep, brain insulation, and neurodegeneration Erin Gibson’s lab has discovered that the precursor cells to myelin-producing oligodendrocytes are regulated by the circadian system in mice. When that regulation breaks down, the researchers saw abnormal myelination — but also fragmented sleep. Image news | Oct 27 2023 Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Q&A: Linking sleep, brain insulation, and neurological disease with postdoc Dani... Working in the Gibson Lab, Brain Resilience Postdoc Scholar Daniela Rojo looks at how abnormal changes in gene activity impact the cells involved in producing myelin to the extent that it leads to neurodegeneration in the brain. Image news | Oct 19 2023 Inside Precision Medicine Fixing the Aging Brain The number one thing most people fear as they age is developing dementia. As the world’s population becomes increasingly older, this is a growing public health issue too. Image news | Sep 14 2023 Sarafan ChEM-H Driver of neurodegenerative diseases revealed In searching for how a gene mutation associated with the cell’s recycling center leads to a rare disease, Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience and Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Monther Abu-Remaileh and team identified a missing link in neurodegenerative condi Image news | Aug 24 2023 Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Blood Cells Mutated in Old Age Protect Against Alzheimer’s Disease Pathologist Siddhartha Jaiswal discovers a surprising twist to our biology: age-related mutations that increase the risk of blood disease also protect against brain disease. Image news | Aug 21 2023 Neuroscience News Is the Brain’s White Matter an Unexpected Key to Aging and Memory? Funded in part by the Knight Initiative , researchers at the Wyss-Coray Lab have discovered that age-related cognitive decline is most pronounced in the brain’s white matter in a new study. Image news | Aug 21 2023 GEN Aging Mouse Brain Atlas Reveals White Matter Changes Most Over Time A study in mice suggests that the most pronounced changes that occur over time are in the white matter—neurons that are integral to transmitting signals across the brain. The research also examined how two anti-aging treatments—caloric restriction and inf Image news | Aug 17 2023 Stanford Medicine Stanford Medicine-led research identifies gene ‘fingerprint’ for brain aging A study in mice finds that white matter — the tissue that transmits messages around the brain — shows the greatest changes as the animals age.
