This week on Neurotalk, Nelson Spruston describes some of the first patch clamp recordings ever, shares the most exciting moment of his scientific career, and explains how a student in his lab discovered a new form of neural integration.

Dr. Spruston is the Scientific Program Director, and a Laboratory Head at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the Janelia Farm Research Campus.

This week in Neurotalk, we speak with Chengua Gu about the molecules linking axon guidance, cardiovascular development, and synapse formation.

Dr. Gu is an associate professor of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School.

This week on Neurotalk, we speak with Thomas Schwarz about the diversity of potassium channels, the link between mitochondria and Parkinson's disease, what young scientists can learn from Julius Caesar, and more!

Dr. Schwarz is a professor of neurology and neurobiology at the Harvard Medical School.

In this week's episode of Neurotalk, Don Cleveland talks about the mechanisms underlying ALS and other motor neuron disorders, the shift in our basic understanding of how gene mutations lead to human disease, and more!
