Our guests May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser are Professors and Directors of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. We discuss how neurons in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex encode the spat

Our guest Kenneth S. Kosik from the University of California, Santa Barbara describes the spectacular evolutionary history of the genes contributing to the connections between neurons in our brains. Looking at the genes involved in the formation of the sy

Our guest Erin C. McKiernan talks with us about her recent study in Drosophila larvae. She explains her findings in how specific ion channels referred to as BK channels play a role in the generation of movements in these larvae. We also talk about the rol

Nicholas C. Spitzer, Distinguished Professor Section of Neurobiology, UCSD, joins us to talk about his recent discovery published in Science about neurons that change their neurotransmitters according to the amount of light exposure that animals get in a

Jean-Francois Gariepy, Leanne Boucher and Steven Miller discuss neuronal transplantation as a potential cure for seizures. We also talk about a study that reveals part of the brain areas activated when developing our first impression of others.
