Episode 3 of Brain Explained explores neuroimaging and blood supply, cleaning in the brain with Professor Farshid Sepherband from The University of Southern California. Why are spaces imaged in the brain and how are they linked to daily life and disease? Listen to find out. In Episode 3 we discuss his recent research into the neuroimaging of the clearance system and blood supply. We discuss his research, opportunities and as always there are a lot of interesting insights.

Episode 2 of Brain Explained explores the brain circuits involved in language and memory with Professor Christopher Petkov of Newcastle University. Chris’s work looks at the brain regions involved in language and memory in humans and macaques. We discuss his work, how it is being practically used, the opportunities you have to get involved in this area of research using real data and more.
