Episode 31: The Neuroscience of Dreams
Neuroscience: Amateur Hour
01/25/24 • 23 min
Dreams are both scientifically fascinating and universal. Everyone dreams, at every age and they are often nonsensical, complex, and deeply subjective. How can you quantify something so personal in the activity of cells, circuits, and systems?
Let's find out together!

Episode 17: Journal Club #1
Neuroscience: Amateur Hour
04/21/22 • 36 min
So today's episode is a journal club! Come and listen to get a little taste of what it's like to be in an academic lab!
I will be presenting a paper: Joint coding of visual input and eye/head position in V1 of freely moving mice. It's linked here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.02.01.478733v1
This episode is structured so that I chat through the paper, citing specific figures and discussing them in detail. Come and listen if you're interested in learning a little bit more about how positional information (where your head and eyes are) is integrated with visual processing in V1 in a freely moving animal.

Episode 7: The Neuroscience of Beautiful Things or Neuroaesthetics
Neuroscience: Amateur Hour
02/03/22 • 9 min
How do we designate something, whether it's a painting, a sculpture, or a piece of music as beautiful? Where have our ideas of beauty arisen over the course of human evolution? How do we as individuals decide that something is beautiful to us compared to our neighbors? Dive into the gripping but controversial field of neuroaesthetics to learn a little bit more about the science behind beautiful things.

Episode 21: The Neuroscience of Neglect: The Bucharest Project
Neuroscience: Amateur Hour
06/02/22 • 16 min
In 1989, Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu was overthrown and the rest of the world discovered that over 170,000 Romanian children were being kept in impoverished institutions and orphanages.
These children were raised, not by loving parents or guardians, but by the metal bars of their beds and impersonal nurses. This neglect resulted in severe, lifetime, neurological issues including altered structure, function, and connectivity among different brain regions important for integrating complex information, including cognitive, social, and emotional competencies.
Curious about the decades-long project that followed these children for 21 years and documented the adverse effects of neglect on the developing brain? Come and take a listen!

Episode 19: The Neuroscience of your Ears and Super Loud Rock Concerts
Neuroscience: Amateur Hour
05/12/22 • 12 min
This week, I want to talk about your ears and how going to super loud concerts can impact your ability to hear. You might be thinking wait - ears aren’t brains. But the way we process sound in our ears is a part of the peripheral nervous system so I say close enough!
Come and listen to learn a little bit more about your auditory system, your peripheral nervous system, hair cells, and the absolutely insane feat of biological engineering that allows for sound to go from your surroundings to your brain.

Episode 18: The Neuroscience of Too Much Social Media
Neuroscience: Amateur Hour
05/05/22 • 17 min
Social media is omnipresent. Mindless scrolling through TikTok and Instagram reels is just a part of our daily lives now. Whether it's cat videos, funny dances, or cool outfits, online content fills our excess time, entertains us, and keeps us connected with our friends and the people we look up to. As my housemate says, sometimes, we’re living in the REEL world, not the REAL world.
But it's also no secret that too much social media is not very good for our psyche and our brains. Curious why? Come and listen to learn a little bit more about the neuroscience of spending tooooooo much time on InstaSnapTok.

Episode 13: The Neuroscience of Itch
Neuroscience: Amateur Hour
03/17/22 • 12 min
Itch is... uncomfortable. We've all been there before, one motivated mosquito takes a bite out of you, and you are left with an itchy red spot for a few days that only scratching can temporarily relieve. Have you ever wondered how that sensation is transferred to the brain and processed? How about why pain, like pressing really hard on that mosquito bite makes the itching go away. If the answer to any of these questions is YES, come and take a listen to learn a little bit more about what's happening upstairs!
