Ep. 34 - Pain Perception, Venoms & The Peripheral Nervous System ft. Stephanie Mouchbahani-Constance
Our guest this week, Stephanie Mouchbahani-Constance, is working towards her PhD in Physiology at McGill University. Her current research is focused on characterizing the sensation of pain inflicted by lionfish stings, as well as the pathways through the nervous system along which they travel. She's an endless repository of animal facts and has nearly boundless knowledge of the peripheral nervous sytem, it's kinda scary, and very impressive. Need I say any more? Keep reading...
Questions Answered:
Where does pain originate in the body and how is it perceived?
What can facial expressions tell us about individual experience?
Why can't I read braille with chest?
Where can I find saliva in the animal kingdom?
What's the difference between venoms, poisons and stings?
and much, much, much.... more!
