That Neuroscience Guy

Humans are great at learning by watching. How do we transform watching something into doing it so well? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss mirror neurons, cells in your brain that help you mimic other people's behaviour.

Do you find yourself drifting off and daydreaming more often than your peers? Do you feel like you have trouble maintaining attention to something for a long time? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind attention spans.

For this week's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss some good book recommendations if you want to learn about interesting neuroscience topics.

Last week, we discussed the neuroscience behind spatial neglect. This week, we discuss an extreme case of neglect called Anasagnosia, where patients can't process anything on the left side of their visual field.

Previously, we discussed the neuroscience behind the dumber decisions we make. While it's fun to talk about what happens when things go wrong, how can we use neuroscience to make things go right? Today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy discusses the neuroscience behind making better decisions.

Sometimes, after a stroke or head trauma, patients experience deficits in perception of things in one side of their vision. In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience behind neglect.

Find it hard to get off the couch? Maybe you've been putting off a task for longer than you should have. Why do we have trouble getting active when we need to? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience of laziness.

In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience behind lack of sleep.

Some people with missing limbs report sensations of that limb still being there, which we have termed Phantom Limb Syndrome. As it turns out, this is an excellent example of how our brain processes our body image. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind phantom limbs and body image.

Have you ever thought fondly about your past? In this week's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience behind Nostalgia.
