Today on the show, why do some of us age faster than others? Why do some of us grow old and die before our time while others seem to simply endure? And most of us have probably wondered at one point or another, which track am I on?

We know shockingly little about what goes on in a mother’s brain during pregnancy.

For example, we know only a handful of the hormones involved—out of hundreds scientists think may exist—and very little about how they might impact the brain. This ga... more

Here’s a question for you that may at first seem trivial, but is actually profound: Why do our minds drift? 

If you have ever dabbled in mindfulness or meditation, you know this mind wandering has an almost gravitational pull. In fact, researchers n... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Big Ideas in Neuroscience: A new neuroscience of pregnancy
Q: Why is now the right time to tackle the neuro-pregnancy questions?
Advances in genomics, mass spectrometry, and computational modeling enable us to predict and map hundreds of potential pregnancy-related peptides and to study their effects with higher resolution, making interdisciplinary exploration feasible.
Is Alzheimer's an energy crisis in the brain? Inflammation, metabolism and a new path in the search for cures | Kati Andreasson
Q: What are some promising new directions in Alzheimer's research according to Kati?
Andreasson suggests targeting inflammation and energy metabolism could be key, and that previously tested cancer drugs might be repurposed for treatment.
Is Alzheimer's an energy crisis in the brain? Inflammation, metabolism and a new path in the search for cures | Kati Andreasson
Q: How does aging affect macrophages and microglia's ability to function in the brain?
Aging leads to a decline in energy metabolism in these cells, impairing their ability to clear waste and defend against infections, which exacerbates amyloid buildup and inflammation.
Is Alzheimer's an energy crisis in the brain? Inflammation, metabolism and a new path in the search for cures | Kati Andreasson
Q: What is inflammation and why does it happen in the brain?
Inflammation is a complex immune response necessary for defending against pathogens and cleaning cellular waste, but detrimental inflammation can have adverse effects on brain health.
"The Emergent Mind: How Intelligence Arises in People and Machines" | Jay McClelland
Q: How does a neural network explain how we start out not really knowing anything about the world and end up knowing a lot?
Neural networks help to classify information based on experiences without needing explicit instructions, building upon a minimum set of data to generate understanding through exposure.
