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
The lab’s second crop of pilot awards will foster research in visual attention, the neurophysiology of exercise, and therapies for autism and mild cognitive impairment associated with aging.
How does the brain wire itself for learning? What molecular mechanisms protect neural circuits during aging? These are just some of the research projects by the 2025 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars.
Leaders of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute reflect on a decade of boundary-breaking study of the brain and what lies ahead for Stanford’s widespread neurosciences community.
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.
A new initiative on brain resilience will study the causes of cognitive decline—what may be done to prevent, delay, or reverse the decline—and what goes right for those who keep their cognitive abilities intact.
The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute is elevating three research programs to become the flagship Big Ideas collaborations focusing on brain rejuvenation, neurotechnology and decision-making.
