SDS 096: Know Your Neurotransmitters: Noradrenaline

October 02, 2015

In episode #96, we return to the Know Your Neurotransmitters series for its third installment, featuring Noradrenaline — the lesser-known chemical cousin to Adrenaline.  Jesse is joined by Professor Clare Stanford, who helps us un-weave a web of terminology and chemicals — Noradrenaline, Adrenaline, Norepinepherine, Tyrosine, and more.  (Fun fact: Two of the previously named chemicals are in fact exactly the same thing!)


And for those who have secretly theorized (or even openly engaged in geeky debates) about how Magneto’s superpowers might work - there are some interesting facts emerging from China about how biology and magnetism intermingle.  This story even has some professional backstabbing thrown in for good measure.   Hear it all in the Ruthless Listener Retention Gimmick.
