“We’re making a helmet people can wear that delivers ultrasound to the brain, and we plan to initiate clinical testing of this protocol in the next few months,” said Raag Airan. With Knight Initiative support, his lab plans to test it on people soon. 🔗 https://t.co/AyFXhn6rem

Here at #NAN2025 it was such a delight to once again learn from my former professor, Dr. Brian Knutson, who taught one of my favorite college classes. His work in neuroeconomics is fascinating. Makes me wish I could spend another 4 years on the Farm! @StanfordBrain @NANneuropsych

Microscopic fibers in tissue are critical for our understanding of disease, but they have been difficult to study. Researchers at Stanford Medicine have come up with an easy way to visualize them. https://t.co/Sy6AbM0Wv9

@karagm2009 @MargolisLabNYU @NYUPainResearch @nyuniversity @NYUDental @NYULH_DeptofMed 95% of the body’s serotonin is in the gut, not the brain. Margolis' research shows that targeting SSRI-like effects to the gut epithelium can produce anti-anxiety, anti-depression and GI effects in mice. She hopes more targeted approaches can improve care and reduce side effects.
