On October 15, 2026 we spoke with Dr. Edward Bartlett about how the auditory system detects and encodes rapid changes in sound amplitude essential for the detection of speech sounds. He explained the temporal sensitivity of single neurons in the uppe... more
On October 8, 2026 we met with Dr. Camillo Padoa-Schioppa to learn how subjective value is represented in the brain and directs how animals and humans choose among goal options.

In depth and assumes some knowledge. Focuses on generally interesting issues associated with the brain. Deeper science vs most pop sci podcasts.
The discussions in this podcast contain a lot of interesting info, and the material is not "watered down" for popular consumption. However, the audio sometimes isn't very good, such as when a speaker is too far from the microphone.
extremely interesting discussion
It requires some knowledge, and sometimes there are sound problems, but it's a unique, useful podcast for learning more about particular neuroscience topics!
For someone interested in learning more about neuroscience, listening to neuroscientists discuss topics in an informal context gives you a different angle of learning. Much looser than your usual interview podcast, these discussions are always interesting, particularly if you already know something about the subject. My only criticism is that the audio is often too low.

A moderated forum spotlighting neuroscience research across subfields, from machine learning applications to brain imaging and cellular mechanisms. Episodes frequently explore practical lab pipelines, data limitations, and innovative techniques (organoids, imaging, optogenetics, simulations), often featuring UTSA and collaborating institutions. Notable threads include how researchers choose tooling for data analysis, the role of organoids in modeling disease, neural mechanisms of social and parental behavior, and cutting-edge discussions on brain structure and function. The show tends to blend deep technical detail with broader context, making it valuable for listeners who want rigorous scientific discourse and insights into real-world lab ... more
