Wu Tsai Neuro’s OPM-MEG pinpoints when and where brain activity occurs, opening new avenues for research on speech, memory, and neurological disorders.

Organizers of a Stanford-led conference have released recommendations to build global oversight and ethical guidance for neural organoid and assembloid research

Neuroscientists have found compelling evidence for a neural network dedicated to language in the adult human brain, with potential implications for treating language problems after stroke or brain injury.

Some studies have reported that estrogen-only menopausal hormone therapy raises dementia risk. New research on Alzheimer’s disease hallmarks in autopsied brains indicates the opposite.

Stanford researchers have discovered that tau can interfere with the tiny powerhouses inside nerve cells, potentially triggering damage linked to Alzheimer’s and related neurodegenerative disorders.

A discovery from an unusual team of computer scientists and pathologists overturns longstanding dogma and could point the way toward new therapies for neurodegenerative disease.

A new Stanford Medicine study finds differences in how autistic teens process unfamiliar voices, pointing toward new therapies for adolescents.

Knight Initiative researchers have identified molecular changes in vulnerable neurons that could point to new ALS treatments.

New research challenging an old model could lead to more powerful brain-computer interfaces for people living with paralysis.

Stanford Medicine experts explain why it’s harder than ever to focus – and what we can do to block out distractions that often cloud our attention and memory.
