“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

Founded by psychiatrist Anna Lembke when few physicians knew how to help patients with addiction, a pioneering Stanford Medicine fellowship program continues a legacy of preparing new generations of addiction specialists. https://t.co/6tKFL72Flf

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

I’m very honored to be recognized by the Sammy Kuo Neuroscience Award. Grateful to my mentor @LMWilliams_PhD, collaborators, and lab @Stanford_PMHW for the support that made this possible. Excited to continue advancing precision mental health research.
@karagm2009 @MargolisLabNYU @NYUPainResearch @nyuniversity @NYUDental @NYULH_DeptofMed @Westlake_Uni @Tyfic_Gh @dcardozopinto One Sammy Kuo honorable mention in the postdoc category goes to Xue Zhang @warmxue (@LMWilliams_PhD Lab) for her paper "Adaptive cognitive control circuit changes associated with problem-solving ability and depression symptom outcomes over 24 months." https://t.co/gDqcm7UN8Y

Thank you for hosting me at such an incredible event @StanfordBrain !! @MargolisLabNYU @NYUPainResearch @nyuniversity @nyulangone
@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.

Congratulations @StanfordBrain on a phenomenal #gutbrain symposium. Thank you for the invitation and looking forward to the collaborations that will be ignited by bringing all of these brilliant minds together
The 12th Annual Neurosciences Symposium is here! We're exploring the dynamic interplay between the brain, gut, and body with leading researchers from Stanford and beyond.

But that’s just a hypothesis right now.” - Kathleen Poston
