In our nature paper published last week, we identified a potential therapeutic for Timothy Syndrome (TS) using human neural #organoids , #assembloids and neurons from TS patients transplanted into rats.

Here’s a more detailed description of what we found 👇

Jay was a major force behind the Parallel Distributed Processing movement in 1986, arguably the beginning of modern deep learning, and he…

Join us for a neuroscience symposium featuring PhD students from across the country discussing their research and outreach efforts. Let's come together to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in academia. #NeuroSymposium #DEI #Neuroscience #StanfordBiosciences

This was such a fun conversation! Why are we more easily motivated by reports of package thefts Nextdoor than the fact that the ocean has been warmer than ever recorded every day for the past year? Listen to find out!
