What is colour? In today’s episode Carolina and Clara discuss the philosophy of colour. Whether it is eliminitivist or inherently subjective (as argued for by Descartes and Locke). They tackle Wittgenstein’s question on what the essence of colour is and explore his language games arguments. Join the discussion! Are we simply a vessel for the experience of colour to manifest upon?

Join us in this more informal episode where we reminisce about how Neuroverse started, our favourite episodes and noting underlying themes across episodes. Emergence vs reductionism was a prominent topic, as well as comparing different types of intelligence, how information is translated across scales and our appreciation for multidisciplinary approaches. We would like to thank all our wonderful special guests and everyone who listens. We appreciate you all so much and keep sharing the love for science! 

Stay tuned for even more exciting projects in 2023🎆

We are back! In today’s episode Carolina and Clara are joined with Olivia Sirley who completed her bachelor’s at the University of the Arts London and wrote her thesis on “What role do dating apps play in finding intimate relationships within contemporary society”. Covering topics such as: dating app dependancy; the accessibility of dating apps; user behaviour; how it changes the nature of relationships; the mediated self; our obsession with finding the one and dopamine addiction loops!

In this episode, Carolina and Clara discuss whether or not memory equals consciousness. Are we, our personal identity and conscious experience, defined by the collection of memories we accumulate throughout life? Did consciousness evolve as part of a memory system, or did memory evolve to facilitate consciousness? We explore these questions and more!

 "Life is all memory, except for the present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going." - Tennessee Williams

What is the computational unit in the brain? At what scale does the brain store, transform, and transfer information? Is it within genes, or neurons, neural circuits, cortical columns, or whole-brain dynamics? In this episode, Carolina and Clara discuss how computations are performed at multiple levels in the brain, and how different computational units contribute to brain function.

In this weeks episode Carolina and Clara discuss spatial cognition - the focus of their masters project at Professor Matt Nolan’s lab in the University of Edinburgh. Focusing on navigation, memory and grid cells’ firing rate, Carolina and Clara discuss the crucial role the Medial Entorhinal Cortex has in providing spatial perception and episodic memory formation.

In this episode we are joined with another young neuroscientist, Subham Ganguly, to discuss methodological approaches to neursocience research from a philosophical perspective. How does the necessity to base research on biological hypotheses influence our findings? Are we limiting our potential for knowledge by categorising the brain into discrete brain regions? What is the value of coming up with theories that can be applied across the brain instead? How can we use biological mechanisms to define cognitive functions or behaviours? Or can we?

Within each of us exists a gut microbiome- trillions of bacteria, virus, fungi, and other microorganisms living in our gut. Research is increasingly revealing a role for the gut microbiome in health and disease. Changes to the gut microbiome have been linked to several psychiatric, behavioural, and neurodegenerative brain disorders, from depression to autism to dementia. But how can these tiny microorganisms regulate what is happening in our brains? In this episode, Carolina and Clara explore what we know about the elusive yet emerging gut-microbiome-brain axis, and how this knowledge could contribute to developing therapies for brain disorders.

In today's episode Carolina and Clara are joined with special guest Dr Ginger Campbell, who hosts the award-winning Brain Science podcast. They discuss the importance of communicating neuroscience and how having an understanding of how the brain works helps both individuals and societies to have more compassion towards one another, based on Dr Ginger Campbell's book "The Unconscious Origins of Certainty". Biases and beliefs are often down to dopamine-based reward systems. Our education systems tend to be built upon a binary "right or wrong" way of thinking, which fuels our reward systems to look for the right answers. While this structure is essential to learning, what are the negative outcomes of such a way of thinking? "People are the most unpredictable thing you'll encounter in life", so what insights can neuroscience provide to help us understand human nature better?

This week we are joined by special guest and young neuroscientist, Carlotta Barelli, to discuss neurogenesis! While it was traditionally believed that the brain is a "nonrenewable organ", research is continually demonstrating that the brain actually has an incredible ability to adapt and renew in response to environmental changes. One such mechanism is known as neurogenesis, the formation and growth of new neurons, which can occur throughout life. In this episode, we discuss whether or not adult neurogenesis occurs in humans, how neurogenesis is different across species, the functional importance of neurogenesis, and what we can do to boost neurogenesis in our own brains.
