For decades, scientists believed Vesta, one of the largest objects in our solar system's asteroid belt, wasn't just an asteroid. They concluded that Vesta has a crust, mantle and core -- fundamental … [+5896 chars]
People's willingness to do volunteer work or give to charity differs greatly. Besides financial and social incentives, individual differences in people's personality can explain why some of us are mo… [+2152 chars]
For trucks and heavy-duty vehicles that must travel long distances without frequent, time-consuming charging stops, batteries often fall short. Hydrogen fuel cells -- which can be refueled as quickly… [+5441 chars]
Imagine that you knew how much memory you had left in your brain. Maybe theres a progress bar in the corner of your eye. Or maybe you can visualize the percentage at will. In any case, anytime you e… [+4828 chars]
Our study revealed continued rhythmic swimming activity under constant darkness, showing the involvement of a circadian clock in swimming behavior of krill, as has been previously shown for other mar… [+17859 chars]
Cumulatively, we demonstrate that microglia aging in the hippocampus advances through intermediate states that precede inflammatory activation, with functional implications for age-related cognitive … [+6386 chars]
The effective diagnosis and treatment of tumors bearing IDH1 mutations relies on an understanding of the fundamental biological and physiological roles of IDH1. In this study, we delineated an enzyme… [+7035 chars]

In this study, we developed three new synapse ablators: PFE3, which ablates excitatory synapses; paGFE3, a photoactivatable version of the inhibitory synapse ablator; GFE3 and chGFE3, a chemically ac… [+5857 chars]
In the Research Matters series, we visit labs across campus to hear directly from Stanford scientists about what theyre working on, how it could advance human health and well-being, and why universit… [+3268 chars]
Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are remarkable as they undergo life-long neurogenesis within the adult olfactory epithelium (Graziadei and Monti Graziadei, 1985), and their axons are exclusively ass… [+7140 chars]
All behavior is embedded within a subjective spatial and temporal framework. In the mammalian brain, allocentric space is represented within a distributed, interconnected network of regions that spec… [+5799 chars]
