June 16, 2022 Episode 23: The Neuroscience of Smoking Cigarettes
Tobacco has a long and storied history but its effects on the modern world cannot be ignored. It was hailed as a cure to many ailments for years but as we understand more - we understand that its REALLY bad for you. Something like 80-90% of lung cancer cases are related to smoking along with a plethora of other diseases.

Curious? Want to learn more about the receptors and brain areas affected by nicotine, the active ingredient in cigarettes? Come and take a listen!

June 10, 2022 Episode 22: The Neuroscience of Speech Production
So this week’s episode is all about speech production. Speech is a fundamental way of communicating our needs, desires, threats, resources, etc to our conspecifics. But do you know about the circuits and muscles and brain regions responsible for our ability to physically produce speech?

Curious? Come and take a listen!

June 02, 2022 Episode 21: The Neuroscience of Neglect: The Bucharest Project
Today’s episode is inspired by a historical nightmare and the subsequent decades-long experiment that shaped the way we understand childhood neglect and its effects on the developing brain.

In 1989, Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu was overthrown and the rest of the world discovered that over 170,000 Romanian children were being kept in impoverished institutions and orphanages.

These children were raised, not by loving parents or guardians, but by the metal bars of their beds and impersonal nurses. This neglect resulted in severe, lifetime, neurological issues including altered structure, function, and connectivity among different brain regions important for integrating complex information, including cognitive, social, and emotional competencies.

Curious about the decades-long project that followed these children for 21 years and documented the adverse effects of neglect on the developing brain? Come and take a listen!

May 19, 2022 Episode 20: The Neuroscience of Bipolar Disorder
This week we will be learning about bipolar disorder! It's a condition characterized by extreme mood swings from emotional highs to emotional lows. One week someone may end up sleeping 24 hours straight and the next week go on a $10,000 gambling spree in Vegas.

Are you curious about the neural activity and neurotransmitters involved in these sudden shifts in mood? Come and take a listen to Episode 20!

May 12, 2022 Episode 19: The Neuroscience of your Ears and Super Loud Rock Concerts
Welcome back!

This week, I want to talk about your ears and how going to super loud concerts can impact your ability to hear. You might be thinking wait - ears aren’t brains. But the way we process sound in our ears is a part of the peripheral nervous system so I say close enough!

Come and listen to learn a little bit more about your auditory system, your peripheral nervous system, hair cells, and the absolutely insane feat of biological engineering that allows for sound to go from your surroundings to your brain.

May 05, 2022 Episode 18: The Neuroscience of Too Much Social Media
Social media is omnipresent. Mindless scrolling through TikTok and Instagram reels is just a part of our daily lives now. Whether it's cat videos, funny dances, or cool outfits, online content fills our excess time, entertains us, and keeps us connected with our friends and the people we look up to. As my housemate says, sometimes, we’re living in the REEL world, not the REAL world.
But it's also no secret that too much social media is not very good for our psyche and our brains. Curious why? Come and listen to learn a little bit more about the neuroscience of spending tooooooo much time on InstaSnapTok.

April 21, 2022 Episode 17: Journal Club #1
So today's episode is a journal club! Come and listen to get a little taste of what it's like to be in an academic lab!

I will be presenting a paper: Joint coding of visual input and eye/head position in V1 of freely moving mice. It's linked here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.02.01.478733v1

This episode is structured so that I chat through the paper, citing specific figures and discussing them in detail. Come and listen if you're interested in learning a little bit more about how positional information (where your head and eyes are) is integrated with visual processing in V1 in a freely moving animal.

April 14, 2022 Episode 16: The Neuroscience of Mad Cow Disease
When I was a kid, I thought two things were going to be much bigger problems in my life than they actually are - quicksand and mad cow disease.

Turns out that they aren't but mad cow disease is still the stuff of science-fiction nightmares. Mad cow disease is caused by the spread of prions, proteins that weaponize our own cells against us and cause proteins to misfold and aggregate, slowly killing neurons throughout the brain. The disease is characterized by rapid and fatal neurodegeneration.

Want to get the shit scared out of you by learning about the truth behind mad cow disease? Come and listen!

March 31, 2022 Episode 15: The Neuroscience of Pheromones
For the low, low price of $15.95 on Amazon, you can purchase a little spray bottle of pheromones that supposedly will trigger "animal attraction" in your partner. But is it true???

Pheromones are a well-known system of communicating territory, alarms, and sexual needs to other animals but is this system present in humans? We know that smell is an important component of sexual attraction and arousal but human beings seem to lack both the organ and brain region needed to process pheromone information. But maybe???

If you're curious, come and listen to learn a little bit more about what's happening upstairs!
