Top 10 Neuroverse Episodes

Goodpods has curated a list of the 10 best Neuroverse episodes, ranked by the number of listens and likes each episode have garnered from our listeners. If you are listening to Neuroverse for the first time, there's no better place to start than with one of these standout episodes. If you are a fan of the show, vote for your favorite Neuroverse episode by adding your comments to the episode page.

In today's episode Carolina and Clara are joined with special guest Dr Ginger Campbell, who hosts the award-winning Brain Science podcast. They discuss the importance of communicating neuroscience and how having an understanding of how the brain works helps both individuals and societies to have more compassion towards one another, based on Dr Ginger Campbell's book "The Unconscious Origins of Certainty". Biases and beliefs are often down to dopamine-based reward systems. Our education systems tend to be built upon a binary "right or wrong" way of thinking, which fuels our reward systems to look for the right answers. While this structure is essential to learning, what are the negative outcomes of such a way of thinking? "People are the most unpredictable thing you'll encounter in life", so what insights can neuroscience provide to help us understand human nature better?

Join Carolina and Clara in today's episode on transcriptomics to translation with Inga Van den Bossche. Inga carried out her undergrad and masters degree in materials science and engineering at Imperial college London and is now a doctoral student since 2022 in Professor Molly Stevens lab at Oxford, researching cellular interfaces and innovative biomaterials for regenerative medicine. We focus on the need for modular precision medicine and how spatial transcriptomics adds a layer of enlightenment to the field.

We are back! In today’s episode Carolina and Clara are joined with Olivia Sirley who completed her bachelor’s at the University of the Arts London and wrote her thesis on “What role do dating apps play in finding intimate relationships within contemporary society”. Covering topics such as: dating app dependancy; the accessibility of dating apps; user behaviour; how it changes the nature of relationships; the mediated self; our obsession with finding the one and dopamine addiction loops! ---

Neuroverse - 54. Animal Models in Neuroscience Research
play

07/13/23 • 22 min

In this week's episode, Carolina and Clara discuss the variety of model organisms that are used in scientific research and the unique advantages of each model. They also touch upon how ethics guides the use of animals in research, including the importance of the NC3Rs. And they explore some of the more unique animal studies that have informed research in unexpected ways, including understanding social learning by studying how bees dance, understanding ageing by studying social castes in ants, and more!

Today's episode is about fungi & lichen! We are joined by George Mears, a PhD student at Royal Holloway and Kew Gardens. Having carried out research on the evolutionary impact of the lichen lifestyle on the fungal genome during his Masters, George is currently in the LIDo iCASE PhD program, working under Professor Robin Williams to continue biological research into plant-derived products. In this episode, we discuss the ancient symbiotic relationships between plants and fungi and how lichens have impacted fungi evolution and vice versa.

In today's episode, we are joined by Professor Tiago Branco, a Principal Investigator and Group Leader at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL. The Branco lab studies how instinctive decisions are computed from sensory information, and from representations of the world built from experience. In this episode, we discuss what different sorts of approaches (top-down vs bottom-up) you can employ to study the neural basis of behaviour, and how computational models of behaviours can be created and used based on experimental data. Drawing on Professor Branco's extensive experience in the field of neuroscience, we delve into his research past and how it led him to pursue his current focus. We also explore how ethologically relevant naturalistic behaviours can be studied in a lab, and the paradigms that are utilised for this purpose in the context of instinctive defensive behaviours and responses to imminent threat.

Neuroverse - 33. The Gut-Microbiome-Brain Axis
play

10/06/22 • 21 min

Within each of us exists a gut microbiome- trillions of bacteria, virus, fungi, and other microorganisms living in our gut. Research is increasingly revealing a role for the gut microbiome in health and disease. Changes to the gut microbiome have been linked to several psychiatric, behavioural, and neurodegenerative brain disorders, from depression to autism to dementia. But how can these tiny microorganisms regulate what is happening in our brains? In this episode, Carolina and Clara explore what we know about the elusive yet emerging gut-microbiome-brain axis, and how this knowledge could contribute to developing therapies for brain disorders.

In this episode we are joined with another young neuroscientist, Subham Ganguly, to discuss methodological approaches to neursocience research from a philosophical perspective. How does the necessity to base research on biological hypotheses influence our findings? Are we limiting our potential for knowledge by categorising the brain into discrete brain regions? What is the value of coming up with theories that can be applied across the brain instead? How can we use biological mechanisms to define cognitive functions or behaviours? Or can we?
