Partnership of government, academics and industry will develop new ways of studying and screening drugs for major psychiatric illnesses.
Salk Institute ranks as one of the leading scientific “stars” in North America with high-quality output that has grown particularly fast, according to a new report by Nature Research.
The Salk Institute is pleased to announce the appointment of Sung Han as an assistant professor in the Clayton Foundation Peptide Biology Laboratories. Han will study small molecules, called neuropeptides, which affect the brain’s defense response and contribute to sensory hypersensitivity in neuropsychiatric disorders such as anxiety and autism.
Salk team first to discover protein that controls the strength of body’s circadian rhythms
The Salk Institute awarded two American scientists with its prestigious Medal for Research Excellence, a distinction that has only been bestowed twice before in the Institute’s 55-year history. The honorees, who received their awards April 13, independently addressed the Salk community in presentations prior to an awards reception.
By adolescence, your brain already contains most of the neurons that you'll have for the rest of your life. But a few regions continue to grow new nerve cells--and require the services of cellular sentinels, specialized immune cells that keep the brain safe by getting rid of dead or dysfunctional cells.
The discovery has implications for understanding how the human brain evolved and how it varies between people
Data from the Salk Institute shows brain’s memory capacity is in the petabyte range, as much as entire Web.
Salk Cancer Center appoints Reuben Shaw as new director.
