  • BS 154 Alan Castel explores the psychology of successful aging

    22/02/2019 Duración: 01h49s

    BS 154 is an interview with Dr. Alan Castel, author of Better with Age: The Psychology of Successful Aging. In the past we have discussed how our brain changes as we age, but it turns out successful aging requires more than "good genes." Our attitudes and our behaviors have a huge impact. More importantly, it is never too early to begin preparing for successful aging. For detailed show notes and episode transcripts please visit http://brainsciencepodcast.com.

  • BS 150 Seth Grant Explores the Synaptome

    26/10/2018 Duración: 01h35s

    BS 150 is my 4th interview with Dr. Seth Grant, the molecular biologist who has discovered surprising things about the evolution of the synapse, including the fact that vertebrates have much more complex synapses than invertebrates. In this interview we talk about his latest paper in Neuron in which his team has developed a method for mapping the synapses across the entire mouse brain. This is called a synaptome and reveals that there is surprising diversity depending on which part of the brain is examined. We discuss the implications of this discovery and how it suggests a new theory of how memory works. Even though this is a follow up to last year's interview (BS 137), Dr. Grant provides all the background that a new listener will need to appreciate his work.

  • BS 148 Pioneering neuroscientist Eve Marder

    24/08/2018 Duración: 01h04min

    BS 148 is the interview with pioneering neuroscientist Dr. Eve Marder, which I originally recorded back in 2009.

The topics discussed in this interview are just as relevant as they were back then. A highlight of this interview is Dr. Marder's insights into what it was like to be part of the first large cohort of women entering science back in the sixties and seventies. Send feedback about this episode to brainsciencepodcast@gmail.com. Feedback received before December 1, 2018 may be included in the December episode of Brain Science Live on Facebook.

  • BS 147: Eve Marder's Life in Neuroscience

    27/07/2018 Duración: 46min

    BS 147 is a discussion of the new biography Lessons from the Lobster: Eve Marder's Work in Neuroscience by Charlotte Nassim. This is an intellectual biography of one of neuroscientists least know pioneers. Dr. Marder was interviewed on this podcast back in BSP 56, which is also now free to download. In this episode I take you through some of Dr. Marder's key discoveries. Her work is unique because even as a graduate student she was challenging long held assumptions in her field. Although Nassim never mentions it, I strongly believe that Marder deserves a Nobel Prize and I explain why in this episode. This episode is more technical than usual and will be of special interest to students and working neuroscientists. For complete show notes and transcripts please visit http://brainsciencepodcast.com.
