Latest Episodes:

Some facial expressions are less reflexive than previously thought Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

A countenance such as a grimace activates many of the same cortical pathways as voluntary facial movements.

Cracking the neural code for emotional states Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Rather than act as a simple switchboard for innate behaviors, the hypothalamus encodes an animal's internal state, which influences behavior.

Neuro's ark: How goats can model neurodegeneration Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

Since debunking an urban legend that headbutting animals don't damage their brain, Nicole Ackermans has been investigating how the behavior correlates with neurodegeneration.

The 1,000 neuron challenge Jan 05, 2026

Show notes

A competition to design small, efficient neural models might provide new insight into real brains-and perhaps unite disparate modeling efforts.

Remembering Adam Kampff, neuroscience educator and researcher Dec 24, 2025

Show notes

Kampff's do-it-yourself approach inspired a generation of neuroscientists.

'Unprecedented' dorsal root ganglion atlas captures 22 types of human sensory neurons Dec 23, 2025

Show notes

The atlas also offers up molecular and cellular targets for new pain therapies.

Not playing around: Why neuroscience needs toy models Dec 22, 2025

Show notes

Amid the rise of billion-parameter models, I argue that toy models, with just a few neurons, remain essential-and may be all neuroscience needs.

Psychedelics research in rodents has a behavior problem Dec 19, 2025

Show notes

Simple behavioral assays-originally validated as drug-screening tools-fall short in studies that aim to unpack the psychedelic mechanism of action, so some behavioral neuroscientists are developing more nuanced tasks.

New organoid atlas unveils four neurodevelopmental signatures Dec 17, 2025

Show notes

The comprehensive resource details data on microcephaly, polymicrogyria, epilepsy and intellectual disability from 352 people.

AI-assisted coding: 10 simple rules to maintain scientific rigor Dec 16, 2025

Show notes

These guidelines can help researchers ensure the integrity of their work while accelerating progress on important scientific questions.
