151 Premium Version (Ad Free); Emotion

This Premium episode was recorded on Facebook Live on November 1, 2018.
 
It includes a look back at BS 146, which was an interview with Alan Jasanoff, author of The Biological Mind: How Brain, Body, and Environment Collaborate to Make Us Who We Are. Our focus was on avoiding the "cerebral mystique," which includes the tendency to over emphasize neuroscience as a means of understanding the world.
 
Ironically, I also included the presentation I gave at Sound Education the next day called Why Neuroscience Matters in which I argue that basic neuroscience literacy is essential in the 21st Century. As citizens we need an accurate understanding of how our brains really work, but we also need to appreciate that we are more than our brains, and solutions to our most difficult problems must include a recognition of the role of our environment and our interaction with the people around us.

Brain Science Live #6: Live from Boston

This is the Premium ad-free version of BS 150 with 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.
