Researchers in Prof. Karl Diesseroth's laboratory have discovered a Dopamine receptor type 2 specific promoter (D2SP) that can be used to transfect, identify and isolate Dopamine R2 (D2R)-expressing cells.
The Bronte-Stewart lab has designed an algorithm for calculating neural activity burst duration to better manage closed loop deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Stanford researchers have created a portable, wearable device for long-term nystagmus tracking to better diagnose episodic vertigo. Current methods utilize head goggles in video nystagmography to monitor eye movement while the patient is in a clinical setting.
Stanford researchers have developed a safe and effective system that enables neurofeedback training in combination with neuromodulation for the treatment of brain disorders characterized by abnormal neuronal synchrony and synaptic connectivity.
Stanford researchers in the Camarillo Lab have patented a model-less, robotic position-control technique that regulates force. The controller simultaneously controls position and applied forces of the manipulator as it moves through a workspace, without requiring a model.
Stanford researchers have discovered that dietary metabolites, specifically alpha-ketoglutarate, are able to delay retinal degeneration to treat blinding retinal diseases regardless of the type of retinal condition.
The Hong Neurotechnology Lab at Stanford University developed ultrasound-activated nanoscopic light emitters (mechanoluminescent nanoparticles) that are delivered via the blood stream, unlike conventional optogenetics approaches that require invasive fiber optic implants.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a device capable of delivering ultrasonic neuromodulation to defined areas of the brain while simultaneously recording neuronal activity with cell-type specificity.
Stanford researchers have proposed the use of a conductive graphene scaffold (CGS) as a biocompatible scaffold for growth of neural tissues. The high conductivity enables the use of electrical stimulation to control the development of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
Stanford researchers have built a sound powered, wireless medical implant. The implant contains a piezoelectric energy receiver, an integrated circuit chip, and a loop antenna.
Stanford researchers at the Moore Lab have developed an algorithm for on-line, real time post processing of large amounts of neuronal data from high-density, multi-channel electrophysiological recordings to identify which neurons were firing (on-line spike recovery).
