About a year ago, a research team at Stanford Engineering led by Guosong Hong published a paper about their work to use a common food dye to make mouse skin transparent. Their findings made a big splash and have the potential to provide a range of benefits in health care. You can imagine that if we have the ability to see what's going on under the skin without having to cut into it, or use radiation to get a clear look, this could improve everything from invasive biopsies to painful blood draws.

Neuroscientists have spent the past few decades tracing the network of brain systems—some deep and emotional, and others more analytical and deliberate— that work together as we make tough choices like where to invest our money as well as more everyday decisions like which videos to watch online—or, for that matter, which podcast to listen to.You can imagine that the ability to listen in on the brain systems that guide our choices might start to let scientists predict our decisions. But today's guest has taken this a step further, showing that measuring brain activity in just a few individuals can actually forecast widespread social behaviors, like which stock prices are likely to go up or down on the market, or which videos are likely to go viral. Join us as we talk with Brian Knutson, a professor of psychology in Stanford's School of Humanities and Sciences, about the frontiers of neuroeconomics, bridging psychology, economics, and neuroscience. Learn MoreSPANlab (Symbiotic Project on Affective Neuroscience)NeuroChoice: Eight years of forging connections to illuminate and empower choice (Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, 2024)Brain imaging links stimulant-use relapse to distinct nerve pathway (Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, 2022)Brain activity data may improve stock market forecasts, study shows (The Guardian, 2021)Your brain knows whether a video will go viral online (Stanford Report, 2020)Odds are good that risky gambling choices are influenced by a single brain connection, Stanford research shows (Stanford Report, 2016)Smile boosts chances of getting a microloan, say Stanford psychologists (Stanford Report, 2015)Stanford scientists see how the brain makes environmental decisions (Stanford Report, 2015)Send us a text!Thanks for listening!

If you or a loved one is experiencing early signs of dementia or cognitive impairment, specialized brain imaging can help detect different types of dementia and lead to more targeted treatments for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's dementia and other causes of cognitive decline. Richard Lichtenstein, MD, a radiologist practicing at Sarasota Memorial explains how these scans work and why early detection is vital.You can also watch the video recording on our Vimeo channel here.For more health tips & news you can use from experts you trust, sign up for Sarasota Memorial's monthly digital newsletter, Healthe-Matters.

When someone we know or love starts to develop psychological issues, we don't often associate it with a form of dementia. However, this trait is one of the most common signs of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) — the most common neurodegenerative disease in people under the age of 65. In his new book, Mysteries of the Social Brain: Understanding Human Behavior Through Science, Dr. Bruce Miller highlights his experiences observing people with FTD and what they have taught him about what he calls the "social brain."Dr. Bruce Miller has been observing people with FTD for decades in the Memory and Aging Center at the University of San Francisco, where he is also Professor of Neurology and the Founding Director of the Global Brain Health Institute. He shares key insights on how to keep our "social brain" healthy and how it can even unlock our creative potential.

What if mental health care worked more like cancer treatment—tailored to the individual, informed by biology, and driven by data?

In this episode, Dr. Jo Braid interviews Dr. Ettie Ben-Shabat, a physiotherapist specializing in neurological rehabilitation with expertise in neuro-imaging. Dr. Ben-Shabat emphasizes that when rehabilitation clinicians have a deep understanding of neurological imaging, it significantly enhances their ability to tailor treatments effectively and efficiently. This knowledge allows clinicians to pinpoint the exact brain areas affected, leading to more precise and targeted therapies, ultimately reducing uncertainty and stress in their practice. Furthermore, it boosts clinicians' confidence and job satisfaction by enabling them to make informed decisions and provide clearer guidance to patients and their families, thereby mitigating burnout and improving patient care outcomes.Resources:https://drjobraid.comhttps://brainrehabilitation.org/https://brainrehabilitation.org/about-ettie-ben-shabat/ Community Recognition Award by local member Phil Donato MP: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/permalink?id=HANSARD-1323879322-143033 I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations.

Dr. Richard Haier is an emeritus professor of Pediatric Neurology at UC Irvine, who spent his career studying the neuroscience of intelligence. Over the course of his career, Haier has come to believe in the existence of a “g-factor,” a measurable quantity of broad spectrum intelligence that is universally predictive of success in all cultures. He also believes that intelligence is a fixed characteristic, and that it's possible to predict someone's intelligence by watching how their brain works when trying to solve a puzzle. We sit down with him to figure out how far one can take this theory of intelligence before running headlong into a heartless social darwinism, why intelligence research feels so creepy, if IQ tests are actually measuring what we think they're measuring, if intelligence is really the thing that we should be optimizing for, and if it's possible for technology to make us dumber.

Where do you place precious brain resources? The human brain's attention system is the success story of what makes us unique as human beings. Because attention fuels our ability to think, to feel, and connect, what we pay attention to is our life. For a long time, throughout our evolutionary history, the brain began to suffer from a very big problem which is that there's far more information out in the environment than could be fully processed. Attention ended up becoming a very useful solution because it allows us to prioritize information, but there are qualities of the human experience that disable attention. Given how powerful attention is, we need to really respect where we place this precious brain resource.

One of the blessings of doing this show is speaking to someone who is truly changing the world and future of healthcare. Dr Andrew Hill is one of those someone's. This show inspired me with hope, and I know it will you too, because it takes so-called diseases like ADHD and anxiety and then not only looks at them from a paradigm shifting point of view that focuses on brain structure but provides an effective, side-effect free treatment plan that actually works. Episodes like this once again point in the direction of bespoke medicine that leverages technology to help us feel and perform to our best.Dr Andrew Hill has a PhD in cognitive neuroscience from UCLA, and extensive experience in the field of neurofeedback and QEEG. He is an expert in functional brain health and performance optimization, and has lectured on neuroscience, gerontology, & psychology at UCLA. He is the founder of Peak Brain Institute, a neurofeedback and QEEG service composed of a network of dedicated biohackers, neuroscientists, coaches, wellness providers, therapists and trainers who can help you understand your brain and create customized plans for change. They want to help people demystify their brains and learn how it performs and how it work, and through neuroscience-backed interventions teach people to overcome any bottlenecks in brain performance.Join us as we explore:How Dr Andrew Hill is looking at brains and mental health from a completely different paradigm! The stories he changes of healing and transformation are unbelievable.How Peak Brain is taking mental health sufferings from the subjective to the objective. His work and research says so much of what we see are not a disease but more likely a misunderstanding of the fundamental structure and composition of your brain, its strengths and its bottlenecks.ADHD, autism, seizures, depression, anxiety and social anxiety other so-called pathologies being treated objectively with measurable neurofeedback treatments where progress is made and tracked within weeks to months.Why neurofeedback is not a mainstream, well known treatment protocol? (Sadly, it's a too common story in the world of medicine.The power of bespoke brain diagnostic and tailored-to-you neurofeedback treatment protocol versus high-level generic treatments.Incredible and wise advice about not following the latest fad, new smart drug you hear about, and why improving your brain health and performance starts with the basics like macros, sleep and circadian rhythm versus a synthetically derived nootropic manufactured who knows where and with what. Support the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Doctors have been using DaTscan brain imaging as a tool to help diagnose the Parkinson's disease (PD) for more than a decade, but even people who know a lot about the disease often still have questions about its role — and the role of other imaging tools — in diagnosis and care. What's a DaTscan, and how does it relate to PET, SPECT and MRI? When is a DaTscan or other brain imaging tool used in PD? Are there any risks? In this audio from our Third Thursdays Webinar, experts and people with PD offer listeners an impromptu course in Brain Imaging 101. You'll learn to differentiate the different types of imaging used to visualize the brain and how they are used in PD research and care. You'll also learn the latest in efforts to visualize alpha-synuclein, the protein that misfolds and clumps in Parkinson's, and what its selective imaging in the living brain will mean for PD clinical trials and care.

Caitlin Moran's multi-award-winning bestseller How to Be a Woman has been published in 28 countries. Now she has turned her attention to men; what's wrong with them, what they should do about it and why they need feminism to help. Caitlin joins Anita to discuss her new book What About Men? Trichotillomania is often referred to as “hair-pulling disorder”. There is little research in this area, but statistics suggest 1.1m people in the UK could have the condition, with 80% of them women. Half of those never seek treatment. What exactly is it? Why do people do it? And what can be done to help them stop? Clare MacKay is Professor of Brain Imaging at Oxford University. She joins Nuala to share her personal experience for the first time, and discuss the academic review she is doing in this area. Half of prison officers in England and Wales do not feel safe at work, according to a recent large-scale survey. Alex South spent 10 years working as a prison officer, and she's written a book, Behind These Doors, about her experiences. She speaks to Nuala about working in such a male-dominated environment and shares her stories. A bar in Portsmouth is due to open later this month, which is themed on Jack the Ripper – described as an "immersive cocktail and dining experience with a modern horror twist". The publicity features a young woman in Victorian dress, being followed at night by a mysterious man. Objections have been raised to the whole idea of a business which trades on the notoriety of a serial killer. However the trading licence has now been granted. The owner has said, "There is always a fine line when working on things like this and we are working really hard not to upset anyone". Nuala speaks to Hallie Rubenhold, author of The Five, in which she painstakingly reconstructs the lives of the five women killed by the so-called Ripper, in 1888. What's it like to go viral on TikTok in your late 80s? 27-year-old Jess and her 89-year-old grandmother, Norma, have gone viral on TikTok posting videos showing their close connection and the fun they have together. They join Anita to discuss their relationship and new found fame. Young singer-songwriter Olivia Dean, has collaborated with the likes of Loyle Carner and Leon Bridges, earning a reputation for her stellar live shows. She joins Nuala to discuss her recent Glastonbury performance, her inspirations and her debut album - Messy. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Hanna Ward Studio Manager: Duncan Hannant

Trichotillomania is often referred to as “hair-pulling disorder”. There is little research in this area, but statistics suggest 1.1m people in the UK could have the condition, with 80% of them women.

She joins Nuala to share her personal experience for the first time, and discuss the academic review she is doing in this area. According to a report by the Commons' Women and Equalities Committee, sexual harassment and sexual violence continues to be a scourge in schools, with many girls and women feeling powerless. The cross-party group of MPs is calling on the Government to focus on a specific strategy engaging boys in relationship, sex and health education lessons (RSHE) at school to help tackle the problem. Young singer-songwriter Olivia Dean, has collaborated with the likes of Loyle Carner and Leon Bridges, earning a reputation for her stellar live shows. She joins Nuala to discuss her recent Glastonbury performance, her inspirations and her debut album - Messy. 'Smoke Sauna Sisterhood' is an award-winning documentary which follows a group of Estonian women over seven years. The film artfully captures every bead of sweat and every inch of skin as the women reveal their innermost secrets. Nuala is joined by the documentary's director Anna Hints, and cinematographer Ants Tammik, to discuss why they chose to capture such an intimate ritual.

Join Skye and Sarah for an in-depth chat about two papers in what might be called the opposite ends of the academic spectrum. In the first part, we will chat through an interesting (and perhaps controversial) paper looking at how an ADHD diagnosis can change over the year. Then we dive into one of our favourite topic, neuroscience, and chat through what it means to be able to see changes in brain structures in people with ADHD as well as your own brain imaging experience.Unconventional Organisation: https://www.unconventionalorganisation.com/The ADHD Academy: https://courses.unconventionalorganisation.com/the-adhd-academyGirls With Social and/or Attention Deficit Re-Examined in Young Adulthood: Prospective Study of Diagnostic Stability, Daily Life Functioning and Social Situationhttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10870547231158751A preliminary study of white matter correlates of a laboratory measure of attention and motor stability in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorderhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022395623000651?via%3Dihub

My guest this episode is Chris Palmer, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He explains the important connection between nutrition, metabolism and mental health and his pioneering work using the ketogenic diet to successfully treat patients with various mental illnesses, including depression and schizophrenia. Dr. Palmer explains how the ketogenic diet is an evidenced-based treatment for epilepsy, mimics the fasted state and can offset the cognitive decline in Alzheimer's. He describes the key roles of mitochondria in mental health, how certain conditions likely arise from mitochondrial dysfunction, and how low-carbohydrate diets increase mitochondrial turnover to improve mental health. He also explains how low-carbohydrate diets positively impact the gut microbiome and weight loss, important risk factors for mitochondrial health such as marijuana and alcohol, and the best way to increase circulating ketones depending on individual needs. We also cover how a ketogenic diet impacts mood, sleep, and fertility. Dr. Palmer's work stands as a revolutionary approach to mental health and disease that, given the prevalence of mental health challenges, should be of interest to people of all backgrounds and ages.

Podcast guest Amishi Jha, Ph.D., a neuroscientist and professor of psychology at the University of Miami, researches how people pay attention. She co-founded the Contemplative Neuroscience for the Mindfulness Research and Practice Initiative at the University of Miami and serves as its director. For more than 25 years, she's researched the science of attention through intensive work with the U.S. Military, first responders, medical professionals, business leaders, and elite sports teams.She's found that attention Is both your superpower and your kryptonite. As a superpower, attention allows you to time-travel in your mind (future and past), highlights what's important, helps you problem solve, and shuts out distractions, she explains in her book, “Peak Mind: Find Your Focus, Own your Attention, Invest 12 Minutes a Day.” When attention is compromised, it's your kryptonite because it impacts your cognitive function, social engagement, and emotional balance, she points out. The three main forces that degrade attention include, 1) the amount of stress you're under (and how you're managing it); 2) being in a crappy mood; and 3) threats real or imagined.And when your attention gets fractured, you often default to tactics that fail to pull it back together. Amishi's got great insights in her book that allow you to understand why this happening. When you know what's going on, it's easier to find your focus.It's absolutely possible to change your brain to become more attentive, present, and productive through mindful techniques and daily focusing practices. Amishi's research shows that mindfulness gives you a sense of control over your mind and allows you to stop negative thinking before it hijacks your brain and body.The type of mindfulness practice you choose isn't as important as how consistently you actually do it. The minimum effective dose equals 12 minutes a day, five days a week.Listen on to a conversation that gives you practical tips on how to re-capture your attention, train your brain and perform at your peak.More about Amishi Jha, Ph.D.: Amishi earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Psychology then went on to earn a Ph.D. in Psychology (Cognitive Neuroscience) from the University of California–Davis. She completed post-doctoral training at the Brain Imaging and Analysis Center at Duke University in functional neuroimaging. She leads research on the neural bases of attention and the effects of mindfulness-based training programs on cognition, emotion, resilience, and performance. Her work has been featured at NATO, the World Economic Forum, and the U.S. Pentagon.
