    TWiN 66: Neuroscience of overeating Nov 26, 2025
    Show notes

    TWiN reviews the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of overeating and obesity, the role of the hypothalamus and reward systems in controlling food intake and energy balance, and how dysregulation in these systems leads to overeating.

    TWiN 65: Air pollutants promote dementia Nov 04, 2025
    Show notes

    TWiN explains epidemiological data showing that exposure to air pollution was associated with an increased risk of developing Lewy body dementia, and nasal administration of air pollution in mice led to brain atrophy and impaired cognition and motor function.

    TWiN 64: How the brain decides what we see Oct 08, 2025
    Show notes

    TWiN explains how visual neurons show functional flexibility by selectively responding to subsets of inputs representing attended objects while ignoring those conveying information about irrelevant objects.
