Home of the Stanford Neuroblog. Scientists writing about science, for a general audience.
Have a question about the brain? Ask a neuroscientist a question.
While on the subject of decision making...
Today, our guest is Anne Churchland, Associate Professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. We’ll be speaking with her about finding science by teaching kids math, the neural basis of multisensory decision making, and the benefits of lab blogging.
Excited to present the first episode of the season!! In this episode, our guest is Jie Shen, a Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. We speak with her about her education in China, figuring out your true love for science (even if you're not yet sure!), and the role of presenilins in Alzheimer’s disease.
Stick with us next week for an interview on decision making with Anne Churchland, Asst. Professor at CSHL.
Today, our guest is Carl Hart, associate professor of psychology and psychiatry at Columbia University and author of the 2013 book, High Price: A neuroscientist’s Journey of Self Discovery That Challenges Everything you Know about drugs and society. We’ll be speaking with him about surprising discoveries about psychoactive drug use, and how neuroscience can better inform policy
Today, our guest is Elly Nedivi, Professor of Neurobiology at MIT. In this episode, we talk about structural plasticity of inhibition, screening for plasticity genes, and running buddies at Stanford.
Today, our guest is Rui Costa,an HHMI investigator at the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown in Portugal. Well be speaking with him about using transgenics to study complex disease, the neural mechanisms underlying habit learning (like piano playing), and keeping cows as pets.
ln this week's episode, we talk about the hippocampus and memories, delayed gratification, and physics vs. neuroscience.
Dr. Loren Frank is Professor of Physiology at UCSF.
This past Friday, the neuroscience community suffered a great loss with the passing of Allison Doupe, a professor of neuroscience at UCSF. Professor Doupe was our very first guest on the Neurotalk podcast, which I wanted to repost here as a small way of remembering and appreciating her life and contributions to science. You can also find a short write-up about Professor Doupe here: In Memoriam: Allison Doupe.
This week on Neurotalk, we chat with Elena Gracheva about working with bats, snakes and squirrels (oh my!), and also how thermoregulation studies might help us with organ transplants. All this and more!
Elena Gracheva is an assistant professor of molecular and cellular physiology at the Yale University School of Medicine.
This week on Neurotalk, we chat with Randy Buckner about the unsurprising surprising role of the prefrontal cortex in memory, the rapid expansion of association cortex in humans, and what to do with a quarter in an MRI machine, and more.
Dr. Buckner is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Harvard University.
