  • Navigating Neurons🙏

    This is such an excellent podcast with great minds talking about the most complicated thing in the universe except the universe itself, the brain and all it’s own stars and planets. Thanks for putting in the time and effort.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation and the future of psychiatry | Corey Keller
Q: What have you learned from single-neuron recordings in epilepsy patients about how TMS affects deep brain circuits?
Early results show that a substantial portion of neurons respond to a single pulse of TMS, with rapid activation of deep thalamic and striatothalamic circuits and subsequent modulation of limbic regions, suggesting complex, multi-step pathways from cortex to deep structures.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation and the future of psychiatry | Corey Keller
Q: Could you give us a concise primer on what exactly TMS does and how it's used today?
TMS uses a magnetic coil to induce a brief electrical field in superficial cortical tissue, which can activate neurons and modulate cortical networks. Theta-burst stimulation is a patterned form designed to induce neuroplastic changes in the targeted circuits, potentially affecting downstream regions like the subgenual cingulate and limbic networks to alleviate depressive symptoms.
How do our brains stay healthy as we age? | Tom Clandinin
Q: What role do foundation models play in this research agenda?
Foundation models would ingest vast multi-omic and phenotypic data to uncover patterns and relationships across genes, cells, and networks, providing a scalable way to interpret complex data and generate testable hypotheses.
How do our brains stay healthy as we age? | Tom Clandinin
Q: How does mosaic perturbation help reveal interactions that single-gene studies miss?
Mosaic perturbation leverages multiple perturbations in the same animal to observe pairwise and higher-order interactions in a shared biological context, enabling detection of emergent phenotypes that would be missed when perturbations are isolated in separate animals.
After Ozempic: the revolution in peptide science | Jonathan Long
Q: What are the risks of the current peptide hype, and how should the public think about pursuing these advances responsibly?
There is a strong need to distinguish well-evidenced, regulated therapies from unregulated, research-grade products sold online; clinicians and scientists caution that many peptides lack robust clinical trial data, so hype should be tempered with careful regulation and validation.
