In recent years, Big Pharma has released several new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease that work by clearing the brain of amyloid plaques, sticky protein clumps whose buildup in the brain has defined the disease for decades. But some doctors, like Stanford neurologist Michael Greicius, a member of our steering committee, say they will not be prescribing these amyloid-clearing drugs to their patients. Join us for this week’s podcast episode as Dr. Greicius discusses the promising future of novel therapies for treating Alzheimer’s disease.

关于我们
Neuroscience is at an inflection point in its history. New technologies are transforming scientists’ abilities to explore the brain — yielding more detailed images of its cells, more accurate measurements of its activity, and more precise ability to mimic its functions than ever before. With these new approaches have come astounding new insights about the exquisite complexity of the brain. The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute is at the forefront of this exploration. Our research community draws from and informs multiple disciplines, including neuroscience, medicine, engineering, psychology, education and law. The discoveries that arise from these collaborations will transform our understanding of the human brain, provide novel treatments for brain disorders, and promote brain health throughout the lifespan. And the creative, cross-disciplinary mindset we foster in our trainees is cultivating the next generation of neuroscience research. The future of neuroscience is profoundly interdisciplinary, and our community includes more than 500 Stanford faculty affiliates, hailing from all 7 Stanford schools and more than 50 departments. We have hired six exceptional interdisciplinary faculty scholars whose work transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries and continue to grow our institute’s faculty. We are Stanford's hub for neuroscience discovery, engineering, and translational health research and welcome researchers of all backgrounds to join us to learn, collaborate, and advance our understanding of the brain. We are cultivating the next generation of interdisciplinary neuroscience leaders. Through our training programs, the Institute supports research fellowships for undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars who will be the standard bearer for the future of the field. We believe diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging are essential to the advancement of science and to the development of a vibrant intellectual community.

A sizable minority of physicians are not convinced anti-amyloid antibodies have any clinical efficacy (my position) or, at least, any meaningful, clinical efficacy (more widely-shared position). Tune in to this episode of From Our Neurons to Yours to hear Nick Weiler and I delve into the arguments against anti-amyloid antibodies and to get a glimpse of more promising treatment options in the pipeline.

Building from a ChEM-H postdoc seed grant, research by Husniye Kantarci, Justin DuBois,?Brad Zuchero, and team reveals that neurons need signals from glia, known as Schwann cells, to become electrically excitable. This finding could lead to new treatments for chronic pain and epilepsy: https://stan.md/3TvaWY2
