Can stem cell therapy be the key to stroke recovery? Pardes Habib’s NPIL Neuroimaging Pilot Grant project explores using human neural stem cells (hNSCs) to treat chronic ischemic stroke in rats. This study employs advanced MRI techniques to map microstructural and metabolic changes in the brain. Supported by the Neurosciences Preclinical Imaging Lab (NPIL) at Wu Tsai Neuro, this research aims to identify biomarkers and enhance treatments for future clinical trials.

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.

Dopamine and serotonin work in opposition, like the accelerator and brakes on a car, to help the brain learn from rewards, according to new research by Robert Malenka and Daniel Cardozo Pinto. This study, published in?Nature Magazine, is part of the NeuroChoice Initiative at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. It reveals, for the first time, how dopamine and serotonin work together to balance one another's influence to shape behavior. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gd9ASRcN

Your brain makes cannabinoids, and we’re only just uncovering why. Neuroscientist Ivan Soltesz shared some eye-opening insights about how this ‘endocannabinoid’ system works. Here are some key takeaways from the podcast conversation: 1?? THC and CBD hijack an ancient brain system that evolved millions of years ago, long before humans ever discovered cannabis. 2?? These natural cannabis-like compounds in the brain (endocannabinoids) appear to fine-tune signaling across the brain, from memory and navigation systems to appetite and mood networks. 3?? Unlike other neurotransmitters, endocannabinoids communicate in reverse, sending ‘bounce-back’ signals from active neurons to quiet their local network of inputs, which Soltesz likened to a “Hush, I’m talking now” signal. 4?? Endocannabinoids are finely tuned, affecting nearby neurons for only a few milliseconds. THC and CBD flood the brain with much larger doses for a longer time, impacting multiple brain systems in ways scientists still don’t fully understand. 5?? New tools are allowing scientists to observe the endocannabinoid system in real-time, opening up an exciting frontier of brain research. Want to learn more? ??
