We all have a decent idea of the intense physical training professional athletes go through. But what makes the brains of these elite players different? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind elite sports performance.

Everyone has that one favourite food that always tastes better than anything else. But what goes into our perception of taste? In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience of our sense of taste.

A lot of us can't go a day without needing to walk somewhere. Most of the time, we don't even have to think about it. But what's actually going on in the nervous system when you're walking? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind walking.

Diamonds are highly valuable because they're thought to be very rare. But why do we humans love rare things? In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience of rarity.

During sleep, we can replay a combination of memories and images that we seemingly imagined out of nowhere. Dreaming can be different for everyone. But why do we dream, and why can our dreams be so different? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind why we dream and, as a bonus, sleepwalking.

What's going on in a doctor's brain when they make decisions? In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience of medical decision making.

After a night out, we can experience strange dizziness that tricks us into thinking we're spinning when we're not. But why do we get these bed spins, and is it similar to how we get seasickness and other forms of dizziness? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience of Bed Spins and dizziness with the special help of neuroscientist Dr Gordon Binsted.

Long flights over time zones can cause serious jet lag; general mind and body fatigue. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind why we get jet lagged.

The Camino de Santiago is a network of pilgrimage routes through Portugal and northwestern Spain that over 200,000 people travel every year. But why is such a trip so desirable? Why do we often find these trips can have huge benefits for our mental well being? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we use the Camino de Santiago as a model to discuss why pilgrimages and other long walking trips have benefits for your brain.

Virtual reality experiences are becoming increasingly common. How does your brain react to being in a realistic, immersive alternate reality? In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience of virtual reality.
