Aging causes changes in gut bacteria in mice, hampering communication between the intestines and the brain—but restoring this connection helped old mice form memories as well as young animals
The Maximizing Innovation in Neuroscience Discovery Prizes will give Faculty Scholar Guosong Hong and Knight Initiative-supported researcher Pascal Geldsetzer $750,000 each over three years to develop research on neurodegenerative diseases.
Brain Resilience Postdoctoral Scholar Annie Goettemoeller is studying how epilepsy-like activity might drive the spread of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain
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
Neuroradiologist Raag Airan and his lab have found a non-invasive, drug-free method to help clean the brain, reduce inflammation, and treat disease—and with Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience support, they plan to test it in people soon.
The Knight Initiative’s Fall Symposium featured researchers building new molecular atlases of the brain alongside new updates on neurodegenerative disease and what might be done about it.
Knight Initiative researchers are uncovering the fine points of how our brains learn to move. In the long run, their findings could help devise better treatments for Parkinson's disease.
Knight Initiative-funded research ran the gamut from chemistry to public health, but one theme brought it all together: Studying what makes the brain resilient will help more people live better lives.
In which anesthesiologist Martin Angst shares how studying the biology of recovery may reveal why some aging brains withstand stress while others quietly unravel.
Research from the Giocomo lab finds that mice create neural maps of the location of rewards, distinct from the well-known hippocampal maps of an animal's location in space.
In which Anthony Wagner and Beth Mormino share what they are learning from the Stanford Aging and Memory Study about the nature of healthy brain aging.
