Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute

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.

Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Sharon Sha shared her expertise on Frontotemporal Dementia amid Wendy Williams' diagnosis.

Knight Initiative Innovation Grant awardee and Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Jonathan Long received a Sloan Research Fellowship, which recognizes outstanding early-career faculty with the potential to revolutionize their fields of study.

Research supported by the Knight Initiative found that metformin, a commonly prescribed diabetes drug associated with moderate weight loss, stimulates the production of lac-phe, a molecule abundant after exercise.

This week, we sit down with neuroscientist Tony Wyss-Coray to learn about how some of your organs may be aging faster than the rest of you.

This week on From Our Neurons to Yours, we sit down with Stanford neurologist Kathleen Poston to learn about a sea change in our understanding of Parkinson's Disease.

Exploring intersections between synthetic biology and the neurosciences.

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.

Students learned how behind every success is a story of perseverance, frustration, and failure in a fall quarter class featuring Stanford’s own Nobel laureates and MacArthur “genius” fellows, including Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Michelle Monje.
