Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute

Scientists in the lab of chemical engineer Monther Abu-Remaileh are uncovering the cellular functions that go awry in degenerative brain disorders and identifying therapies that could treat them.

A decade ago, three generations of Stanford scientists banded together to publish a landmark study on one of the brain’s most prevalent structures. Today, Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute researchers are discovering that myelin is key to just about every aspect of neurological health.

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.

This week on the podcast, Stanford cell biologist Brad Zuchero takes us on a tour of the frontiers of glia-science

This week on the podcast, Stanford psychiatry professor Erin Gibson joins us again to share the latest findings on sleep, myelin, and neurodegenerative disease.

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.

This week on From Our Neurons to Yours, we talk with memory expert Anthony Wagner about the nature of memory and how to improve it.
