Neuroscience of Schizophrenia

Listen Later

It's easy to assume that the brain functions differently for someone with schizophrenia... but you'll never guess why...

And in this month's episode, Laine reports it to us short and sweet.

(If you want to learn more about the extent of the science on your own time, be sure to check out the reference list below for more details.)

But in addition to our usual content rundown for season two, Laine and I share space to discuss

  • some of the uncertainty and fear around this disorder
  • how we can approach it with a new perspective
  • what impact that can have on developing research, supporting those affected by it, and changing how we view the disorder entirely

    • Enjoy this shorter episode, and be on the lookout for our last two episodes (and mini-episodes) coming out in September & October!
