Today, our guest is Shernaz Bamji, Associate Professor in the

Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences at the University of British Columbia. In this episode, we will talk about neurtrophins, cadherins and adhesion at the synapse, and scientific heroes.

Today, our guest is Dr. Antonello Bonci, Scientific Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, as well as a Senior Investigator within NIDA and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University. In this episode, we will talk about cocaine and Ritalin, new clinical trials using TMS to treat addiction, and ringing in the New Year.

Welcome to another episode of NeuroTalk, the interview series for Stanford University’s weekly neuroscience seminar, brought to you by NeuWrite West. Our guest is Peter Jonas, a professor Professor of Neuroscience and Physiology at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria. In this episode, we will talk about his research on GABAergic interneurons, linking molecular properties of neuronal subtypes to their greater circuit function, and the challenges of building an institute from scratch.

Update: We've re-highlighted this track on December 15th, 2015 in anticipation of Dr. Kastner's upcoming talk at Stanford University. Please enjoy!

This week, our guest is Sabine Kastner, a professor of psychology at the Center for the Study of Brain, Mind, and Behavior at Princeton University. In this episode, we will talk about Dr. Kastner’s transition from philosopher to experimental scientist, studying attention in visual processing networks, the Beatles, and the importance of engaging in scientific outreach.

This week on Neurotalk, Kimberly Huber joins us to discuss protein synthesis in synaptic plasticity, translating basic research into clinically relevant therapeutics, and upcoming Halloween plans. All this, and more!

Dr. Huber is a professor of neuroscience at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

This week on Neurotalk, we chat with Elena Gracheva about working with bats, snakes and squirrels (oh my!), and also how thermoregulation studies might help us with organ transplants. All this and more!

Elena Gracheva is an assistant professor of molecular and cellular physiology at the Yale University School of Medicine

This week on Neurotalk, we chat with Randy Bucker about the unsurprising surprising role of the prefrontal cortex in memory, the rapid expansion of association cortex in humans, and what to do with a quarter in an MRI machine.

Dr. Buckner is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Harvard University.

Join us for this episode as we highlight unforgettable moments from NeuroTalk Seasons 1 and 2. Through short, memorable clips, we will explore the gripping stories of how our guests were inspired to become scientists, adventures studying different animal models, and gossip about different professors. We will also share the greatest moment in all of NeuroTalk (so far!). Take a listen!

Brains & Bourbon: Shots! is a short form version of our show Brains & Bourbon, where we sit down with a neuroscientist to discuss their work and share their favorite cocktail.

In this first episode of Shots!, we chat with graduate student Matt Figley about using yeast to model complex neurological disorders, plus more!

Today, our guest is Michael Shadlen, professor of neuroscience at the Kavli Institute for Brain Science at Columbia University. We will discuss his take on consciousness, perception, and his research studying sensory decision-making. We will also let him give us a teaser about his upcoming talk at Stanford.
