Stanford Medicine researchers describe the gut-brain relationship and how it affects conditions from anxiety to long COVID to Parkinson’s.
Giselle Salmasi’s collaboration with a colleague at the Mayo Clinic gives a patient with a recently identified blood clotting disease a new lease on life.
What actually causes hearing loss? Are there new treatments that can restore hearing? Can it be reversed? How does air travel affect hearing loss?
Our researchers picked cells from all over the human body — cells of all shapes, sizes and abilities. From the brain to the heart to the intestines.
Technological advancements allow diabetes patients to monitor their glucose levels remotely. Stanford Medicine researchers are refining similar tools for Parkinson’s patients and the providers they don’t see often enough.
Stanford Medicine’s Sean Quirin once looked upward with a telescope, seeking clues to the universe. Now he trains his optical eye inward with a fascination for understanding the brain and the complex maladies that afflict it.
A new test can detect the biological signature of Parkinson’s disease before symptoms arise. A Stanford Medicine neurologist explains why early diagnosis opens the door to better therapies.
A few closely related drugs, all squarely aimed at treating Alzheimer’s disease, have served up what can be charitably described as a lackadaisical performance. Stanford Medicine neurologist Mike Greicius explains why these drugs, so promising in theory, don’t appear to be helping patients much if at all.
A Q&A with a Stanford neuroscientist on dementia, healthy aging and memory loss — and how we can protect our brains in later life.
She was a first-year PA student at Stanford Medicine when an MRI scan revealed that Melanie Shojinaga had a brain tumor.
A drug created by Stanford Medicine scientists aimed at a ‘Velcro’-like protein reduces ALS symptoms and improves survival in mice.
For Kaitlyn McCaffery, a brain injury survivor, finding community was the key to lifting her spirits during recovery.
Stanford Medicine researchers showed that risk of dementia increases for people previously diagnosed with depression.
Researchers at Stanford Medicine explore a potentially causative connection between a blood disorder and Alzheimer's.
Stanford Medicine scientists and collaborators discover a treatment in mice to repair the blood-brain barrier, which is key to brain health.
Stanford Medicine's Medicine & the Muse program hosts a night of neurobiology and dance to feature the intersection of the two.
