Dive into the fascinating world of adult neurogenesis with Heliox, where we explore groundbreaking research about how our brains continue to grow new cells throughout our lives. Join us as we uncover the surprising connection between new brain cells and learning through listening, while also examining how factors like COVID-19 can affect this delicate process. From the remarkable potential of our brains to create new neurons to practical ways we can support our cognitive health, this episode brings together cutting-edge science with actionable insights for nurturing our most complex organ. Where evidence meets empathy, we'll explore both the vulnerabilities and the incredible capabilities of the human brain.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter.  Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
