Two new studies of the developing human brain are helping researchers reconcile a long-held debate over how the brain forms.
At 2 a.m., a text came that David Julius thought might be a prank. But it was a relative contacting him to say that the Nobel committee in Stockholm was trying to reach him.
UCSF Team Provides Immediate, Long-Term Relief for Patient’s SymptomsUCSF Health physicians have successfully treated a patient with severe depression by tapping into the specific brain circuit involved in depressive brain patterns and resetting them using the equivalent of a pacemaker for the brain.
