The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford is dedicated to understanding how the brain gives rise to mental life and behavior, in health and in disease. 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.
