Brain Resilience Postdoc Heankel Lyons and Pathways to Neurosciences trainee Airi Yoshimoto will receive three years of funding from the Jane Coffin Childs Fund for Medical Research
Brief electrical pulses trigger a molecular “reboot and rebound” in sea squirts, pointing toward new strategies to mitigate age-related decline, according to research backed in part by the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience.
Nike founder Philip H. Knight and his wife Penny have made a new $90 million gift to extend the work of the Knight Initiative For Brain Resilience at Stanford University’s Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute
In this research roundup, we look back on some of the ways Knight Initiative scientists have been pursuing ways to keep our minds sharp well into old age
Knight Initiative researchers created a new atlas of aging in the killifish tracks how organs change over time, revealing processes implicated in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases
The Rosenkranz Aging and Rejuvenation Seed Grant Program announced eight innovative new research projects with additional support from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience
Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Steering Committee member Anne Brunet explores what aging really is, how lifestyle choices might influence longevity, and the promising frontiers of aging research
Aging causes changes in gut bacteria in mice, hampering communication between the intestines and the brain—but restoring this connection helped old mice form memories as well as young animals
Knight Initiative scientists tracked every moment of the life of the African turquoise killifish, showing that behavior alone can forecast whether an animal will live a long or short life
