On today's podcast, we talk with neuroscientists Claire Bedbrook and Ravi Nath (@BrunetLab, @KarlDeisseroth Lab) about their new study, which found that an animal's lifespan can be predicted surprisingly early just by observing its behavior. Listen now: neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/why-do-so…

How does pregnancy reshape the mother's brain at a molecular level? In today’s podcast, @NiraoShah and Katrin Svensson (@SvenssonLab) discuss the new Stanford Neuro-Pregnancy Initiative with Longzhi Tan and what neuroscience can tell us about pregnancy. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/new-neuro…

Why do our minds wander? Our podcast is back! Today, we speak with cognitive scientist Vinod Menon about the brain's default mode network behind daydreaming, rumination, and our sense of self—and its links to ADHD, depression, and Alzheimer’s disease. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/why-do-ou…

Meet Dr. Hülya Torun (@hulyatorunn), a postdoctoral researcher at the Brain Resilience Lab. "Science generates the accumulation of knowledge so that physicians can use that knowledge to heal people, and I think that was the reason that I wanted to be a neuroscientist."

Could treating anxiety ease constipation? Why does keto reduce seizures? Do gut microbes influence memory? Our 12th annual symposium explored how our brains and bodies communicate—and what that means for our health and well-being. Learn more: neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/neuroscie…

How does intelligence emerge from neural networks in our brains and artificial networks in machines? Stanford cognitive scientist Jay McClelland explains on our podcast, exploring the neural network view of the mind and what it means for AI. Listen now: neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/emergent-…

Why does social isolation reshape the brain? Neuroscientist, science communicator, and author of 'Why Brains Need Friends' @dr_benrein shares how connection influences brain health, and what science says about loneliness in the modern world. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/why-our-b…

Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Jessica Ross and colleagues used TMS pulses to induce movements in people's hands—a common testing ground for new ideas in the field. By carefully timing those pulses to music, the team found they could double the impact of TMS. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/groove-br…

What can neuroscience tell us about psychosis? Stanford psychiatrist Jacob Ballon and peer advocate Shannon Pagdon join our podcast to explore neuroscience, lived experience, and the shift toward recovery-oriented care. Listen now: neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/what-psyc…

Music activates most regions of the brain, which may help explain its healing potential. Neuroscientist, musician & author @danlevitin joins us to explore how music is being used to help heal disorders like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, chronic pain & more. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/i-heard-t…

What does neuroscience reveal about how kids with autism process voices? Stanford neuroscientist Dan Abrams shares how the brain’s hearing centers connect with voice-reward networks, and how this could inform early intervention for kids on the spectrum. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/why-voice…

What can surgery reveal about brain resilience? In today's podcast, Stanford anesthesiologist Martin Angst shares how studying brain activity before, during, & after cardiac surgery may offer insights into recovery & vulnerability to cognitive decline. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/surgery-w…
