56. Synapses: Origin & Evolution


Listen Later

In this episode, Carolina & Clara discuss synapses in the brain. What are they? What is their function and importance? Where did they originate from? How are they different across evolutionarily distinct species? They also discuss how recent research in comb jellies has brought back to life an age-old debate between Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Camillo Golgi about the basis of communication in the brain.
