Podcasts about Human brain

Send us Fan MailHow genomics is used to study what makes a human brain, and how genetically damaged neurons get removed.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Scale & Size: A human brain is about three times a chimpanzee brain by mass, but the larger change is extra association cortex and extra upper-layer circuits that talk mostly to other cortex.When Development Ends: Most cortical neurons are born before birth. Myelin and other glia keep forming into the twenties. Synapses keep changing after that.Broken Genomes Get Edited: Walsh describes forthcoming work in which ~25–30% of late-fetal cortical neurons carry genetic defects, falling to ~5% by birth, with smaller defects still being removed through adult life.Regulation vs. New Genes: Humans and mice both have ~20,000 genes. Most human-specific change is in when and where those genes turn on, not in inventing new proteins.Human Accelerated Regions: About half of HARs involve the brain. Rare mutations in them show up more often in kids with intellectual disability and autism.ASPM & Microcephaly: Loss of one conserved cell-division gene can shrink a human brain toward chimpanzee volume and shape. The same knockout barely shrinks a mouse.Heritability of Genetic Disorders: Autism is highly heritable in twin studies. A whole-genome test today still finds a specific cause in only about a quarter to a third of kids.Support the showSupport my work:Good Chemistry: Personalized, science-based health consulting.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane digs into Anthropic’s Model Hardware Standard. It is a shared driver that lets an AI agent run real lab equipment, from pipetting robots to the lasers inside a quantum computer. He also covers OpenAI’s builder’s guide to GPT-5.6, Google’s new Expert Intelligence book feature, Apple’s M5 Ultra Mac Studio, and a judge’s order forcing Google to stop hiding rival app stores. Finally, he weighs in on Apple’s proposed 15 percent link-out fee, Meta’s Australia numbers, the White House deputizing private hackers, and why rivers obey a 1957 math rule. – Want to start a podcast?

He is hunting for tickets to Michigan for his dad’s anniversary, and he has been learning Blender and Godot on the side, mostly modeling and blocking out levels. Consequently, he asks listeners for advice on starting a big game project, and he plans to record his progress, maybe as a time lapse. Then it is straight into the featured story. Anthropic’s Model Hardware Standard: A Driver for the Physical World The featured story comes from Anthropic, which opened a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard, or MHS. Cochrane frames it as the other side of the question NVIDIA’s world models raised two weeks ago: when do AI agents start touching actual machines? A typical lab runs a microscope, a liquid handler, a robotic arm, and a plate reader, each from a different vendor with its own control software. One Janelia researcher in the post launches seven programs in three languages just to start an experiment. Anthropic says wiring a setup like that takes weeks or months of specialist work. MHS is a driver, the same kind of translation layer a printer uses, except every device gets described with a tiny set of commands like read and write. Devices announce themselves on the network. A plain-English reference file then records what each machine measures, what can be adjusted, and which safety limits get enforced no matter what the agent asks. Agents then reach the hardware through the Model Context Protocol, the command line, or plain code. Cochrane sees the same move the industry keeps making, from coding harnesses to RSS and JSON: agree on a standard and let everyone build against it. In fact, he calls MHS the hardware version of MCP. The partner results carry the segment. QuEra builds quantum computers from individual atoms held by lasers that must hold their frequency to about one part in a trillion. A four-person team spent months on a relock script that worked 58 percent of the time. However, four copies of Claude iterating overnight through MHS produced a decision-tree script that recovers the laser in about six seconds, and it passed 99.3 percent of 700 blind trials. Carnegie Mellon wrote MHS drivers for four instruments across three incompatible computers in about eight hours, then ran dose-response experiments three times faster and blocked all six deliberately induced faults. Genentech, meanwhile, showed the limits. Claude used the same pump speed for water, a foamy protein solution, and a human had to explain that the bubbles were a physics problem. That gap in physical intuition is what sticks with Cochrane. He doubts it will change soon, and he suspects the fix will arrive as sub-agents or sub-models that judge a request against an expected outcome. He also connects MHS to a video of racing robots that never learned to stop at the finish line. What happens, he wonders, once they can read a distance sensor through a shared standard? Still, he calls the announcement a fantastic read and points listeners to the full article. Sponsor: GoDaddy Economy hosting $6.99/month, WordPress hosting $12.99/month, domains $11.99.

GPT-5.6 Does the Same Work for a Fraction of the Cost OpenAI’s builder’s guide to GPT-5.6 leads the headlines. Cochrane recaps the three tiers from episode 1870, Sol, Terra, and Luna, plus the separate dial for reasoning effort. On BrowseComp, a benchmark for digging up obscure facts on the web, the old GPT-5.5 flagship scored about 84 percent on a run that cost 33 dollars three months ago. Luna now matches that score for a dollar thirty-three, and OpenAI has since cut Luna’s price another 80 percent. Browser Use reports Luna finishing 78 percent of its hardest browser tasks for about 14 dollars, against 80 percent for roughly 235 dollars from the best available model. The guide’s other big addition is a multi-agent beta flag. It lets the model handling a request spawn parallel helper agents that report back to a root agent inside a single API call. However, Cochrane is unimpressed by the timing. He has been running that pattern in Claude Code for months, so he sees OpenAI copying a workflow other companies already ship rather than inventing its own. Along the way, he plugs Claude Code’s remote-control sessions, which let him send prompts from his phone to a terminal session at home. Google Lets Gemini Read the Books You Actually Bought Google launched Expert Intelligence, a name Cochrane calls quite the reach. The feature lets you drop a book you bought on Google Play Books into Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, and ask questions answered only from that book, with citations. Cochrane sees real power here for students, since he once used NotebookLM to organize scattered course PDFs. Additionally, publishers get a cut, which he calls a far better deal than the wholesale scraping of books that trained earlier models. Nevertheless, he asks who loses out, because a paid publisher does not automatically mean a paid author. He floats the same idea for artists, even a penny per use, then admits that may be too idealistic. Apple’s M5 Ultra Mac Studio Is Built to Run Big Models at Home Back in episode 1861, when Apple killed the Mac Pro, an M5 Ultra Mac Studio was expected later this year. Now it is here. The M5 Ultra brings up to a 36-core CPU, an 80-core GPU, and 512GB of unified memory moving 1.2 terabytes per second. Apple claims up to 4.3 times the AI performance of the M3 Ultra. Thunderbolt 5 can also cluster four machines into one memory pool for up to three times faster inference. The M5 Max model starts at $2,499 and the Ultra at $5,499, with shipping on September 22 and the 512GB configuration arriving in late October. Cochrane finds the clustering pitch ridiculous at that price, but he invites anyone who spends the money to report back. Apple Opens a Manufacturing School in Houston Apple also opened a 20,000-square-foot Advanced Manufacturing Center in Houston. It offers free classes for small and midsize manufacturers, from circuit board design to hands-on time on a scaled-down production line, with college students joining later. Cochrane calls it a solid step in the bring-manufacturing-home movement. The bigger story is the campus itself, which builds Apple’s AI servers and will add the first US-assembled Mac mini line later this year. That ties back to the Mac mini shortage that followed the OpenClaw rush, when Tim Cook warned of months-long waits. Cult of Mac was still reporting four-month waits in late July. However, Cook blamed chip supply rather than assembly, so Cochrane is not counting on relief just yet. Amazon EC2 Turns Twenty Amazon EC2 turned twenty this week, which Cochrane admits makes him feel old. The 2006 beta offered one server size in one region for ten cents an hour. Each came with a 1.7 gigahertz Xeon and under two gigabytes of memory, and accounts were capped at twenty servers. Today AWS offers more than 1,200 instance types across 39 regions. Consequently, Cochrane credits the company with turning that tiny product into the backbone of cloud and AI computing. Intel Gamer Days: Two Free Games, With Fine Print Intel Gamer Days runs through September 13. Buy a qualifying Core Ultra Series 2 or 14th Gen desktop chip, a Core Ultra Series 3 laptop, or an Arc graphics card. In return you get Star Wars: Galactic Racer plus the Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis remake. GamesRadar values the pair at about 120 dollars. However, neither game is out yet, and codes must be redeemed by October 31 even though the Tomb Raider remake ships in February. Cochrane calls that awful, but he still tells qualifying buyers to claim the deal early. Note that 13th Gen chips do not qualify. Judge Orders Google to Stop Hiding Rival App Stores A jury found Google’s Android app monopoly illegal in late 2023, and Judge James Donato ordered rival stores into the Play Store in 2024. On August 13, Epic’s lawyer demonstrated that searching Play for “store for apps” returned Walmart instead of any app store. Donato called that “not acceptable” and ordered three fixes within a week. Searches must surface third-party stores, listings need a plain install button, and the “are you looking for” interstitial has to go. Cochrane welcomes the monopoly being chipped away, but he notes that a controlling entity still sits atop every app store. In his view, community hubs like app stores and social media need a public infrastructure layer. He suspects governments skip that investment because companies already run the services, while selling your data. Apple Wants 15 Percent of Purchases Outside Its Store The other half of the Epic saga is Apple’s proposed link-out commission. After the 2021 anti-steering injunction, Apple charged 27 percent on purchases made through external links. A judge held it in contempt last year, and the Ninth Circuit then allowed a fee limited to the cost of running the system. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers refused to wait for the Supreme Court, writing that “further delay is unwarranted.” Apple filed 15 percent for standard apps, 10 percent for subscription renewals and partner programs, and 5 percent for small businesses. It also conceded the rate would be “essentially zero” under the appeals court’s cost yardstick. Since Apple has charged nothing on link-outs since the contempt ruling, Cochrane sees this as a raise. He calls a cut on purchases made on a developer’s own website disturbing. He also recalls reading about the size of Uber’s payments to Apple, and he questions whether that kind of percentage is sustainable for companies without funding. Meta Says It Has Cut Off 750,000 Australian Kids Meta reported locking out more than 750,000 Facebook and Instagram accounts in Australia by the end of June under the country’s under-16 social media law. Over 500,000 of those were removed before the law even took effect. Detection relies mostly on AI scanning posts and bios for tells like birthday messages, plus user reports and blocks on re-registration. However, the post gives no count of mistaken removals or appeals, and the regulator’s early data shows under-16 usage falling only from about 86 to 81 percent. Meta wants a single age signal at the operating system or app store level, and Cochrane agrees completely. He connects it to the MHS idea from the top of the show: platforms need a standard flag to reference instead of guessing. The White House Deputizes Private Hackers Earlier this month the White House signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum that lets vetted private security firms run surveillance and disruption operations against overseas criminal groups. The Justice Department and Homeland Security hold the contracts and oversee the work. Firms need a proven track record, vetted staff, and a bond of at least $1 million, and must submit operating procedures within 60 days. Cochrane finds the measure aggressive in a good way and hopes it deters attacks on innocents. Still, he takes Kevin Beaumont’s warning seriously that the private security industry profits from ransomware existing. He compares it to the old Head and Shoulders myth: why solve the problem that drives your revenue? A Weather Satellite Watched the Eclipse Shadow Cross Europe Cochrane skips the readout on this one and simply sends listeners to ESA’s site. The MTG-I1 weather satellite captured the Moon’s shadow sweeping across Europe during the August 12 eclipse. Watching a shadow cross an entire continent, he says, was a first for him. Additionally, it leaves him excited about the research happening beyond the planet. Rivers, Deltas, and the Number 0.6 Quanta Magazine explains Hack’s law, which John Hack discovered in 1957 while measuring streams in Virginia and Maryland. A stream’s length tracks its drainage area raised to the power of 0.6, regardless of the rock underneath, and satellite data later confirmed it worldwide. Computer models in the 1990s showed why. Channels that capture extra runoff cut deeper and steal from their neighbors until the network settles into the arrangement that wastes the least energy. Now a University of Texas Rio Grande Valley team has found the same 0.6 exponent in river deltas, which spread water out rather than gathering it. Nobody knows why yet, and Cochrane calls it a really cool read. Sugar Helped Grow the Human Brain, Too A new paper in Science, co-authored by Jennie Brand-Miller at the University of Sydney, adds a third ingredient to the story of early human brain growth. Alongside meat and cooking, natural sugars from ripe fruit and honey may have fueled it too. The brain is about two percent of body weight but burns twenty percent of resting energy. It runs on glucose, which meat and marrow barely supply and raw starch cannot release without fire. The team modeled ancestral diets from a chimp-like baseline through Homo erectus and concluded that the earliest hominins may have drawn over 65 percent of their energy from natural sugars. Cochrane stresses that it is a model, not fossils, and notes that paleoanthropologist Marina Lozano thinks the authors place widespread cooking too early. Still, he loves this kind of deep research. Retracing the steps to our own intelligence, he suggests, could hint at what it takes for intelligent life to develop at all. A Brain Rhythm That Tells Doctors Where to Aim Finally, Science Daily covered a University of Cologne study on deep brain stimulation. That is the implanted-electrode treatment that eases Parkinson’s tremors for some patients but not others. Andreas Horn’s team recorded from 50 patients using both the implanted electrodes and an external magnetic scanner. They identified a circuit between the electrode’s target and the frontal cortex that oscillates at 20 to 35 cycles per second. Stronger coupling there predicted bigger improvement after surgery, though the study, published in Brain, shows correlation rather than cause. First author Bahne Bahners hopes the finding helps tune DBS more precisely, especially for patients who have not responded well. Cochrane half-jokingly asks whether MHS might one day drive those electrodes, and he calls brain disorders the hardest thing in the body to treat.

In this episode, Jason explains why people cannot be expected to rely on memory, motivation, or willpower alone. Respecting people means creating stable systems that help them consistently succeed. Jason connects human behavior, neurodivergence, attention, memory, and natural biological tendencies to the need for standard work, visual systems, daily reminders, and consistent routines. He explains that Lean is not about blaming people when something is forgotten or missed, it is about designing an environment that supports people through stability and standardization. What you'll learn in this episode: Why relying on memory, motivation, and natural habits creates inconsistency. How standard work and visual systems help people succeed more reliably. Why daily communication and repetition are necessary to reinforce expectations and culture. How respect for people connects directly to stability, standardization, and better system design. Are you expecting people to remember and perform perfectly on their own, or have you designed systems that make success easier and more consistent?   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

“The tools of communication have changed, the human brain has not.” In a world of endless content and shrinking attention spans, getting your message heard means giving people a reason to care. For Carmine Gallo, a communication coach, author of Viral Voices, and CEO of Gallo Communications, that starts with understanding what captures the brain's attention: emotion, relevance, and a compelling story. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Gallo joins Matt Abrahams to explore the timeless principles behind persuasive communication. From crafting attention-grabbing hooks to using analogies and storytelling, he shares practical techniques for making your ideas more emotional, clear, and memorable.Key Takeaways:Attention starts with making people care. Emotion and relevance help your message cut through the noise, giving your audience a reason to listen before you ask them to absorb your ideas.Great communication follows timeless patterns. Hooks, analogies, and structured storytelling make ideas easier to understand and remember, regardless of the platform or technology used to deliver them.Activity:Build the hook.

The provided materials explore the evolution of robotics, tracing the concept from its fictional origins to modern technological advancements. The term was first coined in Karel Capek's 1920 play to describe biologically engineered servants, representing a significant shift from the purely mechanical beings often envisioned today. This transition is further marked by Isaac Asimov's influential "Three Laws of Robotics," which established an ethical framework for autonomous machines and predicted future interactions between humans and technology. Current developments, such as those highlighted at CES 2026, showcase how artificial intelligence has transformed these early concepts into practical household tools and sophisticated humanoid prototypes. However, experts note a persistent disconnect between cinematic depictions and the reality of robotic engineering and manufacturing. Ultimately, the sources emphasize the ongoing need for legal and ethical standards as robots move from the realm of science fiction into essential roles within human society.

In honor of World Brain Day on July 22, this Think Thursday episode celebrates the extraordinary organ behind every thought, memory, feeling, and behavior.Molly explores how the brain functions as:A prediction system that uses past experience to anticipate what happens nextA learning system that changes through attention, repetition, and experienceA protection system that often relies on familiar strategies to reduce discomfortA relationship system shaped by connection, conversation, purpose, and belongingYou'll also learn why automatic responses are not permanent, how neuroplasticity supports meaningful behavior change, and why curiosity is more useful than self-criticism when your brain returns to an old pattern.Your brain is not fixed, and it is not working against you. It is alive, adaptable, protective, connected, and still becoming.Key takeaway: An automatic response is not your destiny. It is something your brain has rehearsed—and with practice, it can learn something new. ★ Support this podcast ★

There are conversations that deepen the way we relate to our horses, and this was absolutely one of them.As someone who lives alongside horses every day, I'm always curious about the space where intuition, experience, and science meet. Sitting down with neuroscientist and horse trainer Janet Jones felt like stepping further into that understanding.Janet is the author of the bestselling Horse Brain, Human Brain, a book that genuinely transformed the way I think about horse behavior, trust, fear, training, and the horse-human connection. In this conversation, we explore insights from her upcoming book, A Horse's World, available now for pre-order before its June 23 release.We talk about what's actually happening when horses snort or lick and chew, how horses experience the world through smell, why lighting and vision matter more than most riders realize, and the neuroscience behind helping horses feel safe in new environments.One part that especially stayed with me was Janet describing a new horse as feeling like “a tourist in a foreign country.” As I've been integrating a new mare into my own herd, that perspective felt incredibly grounding and compassionate.We also explore: • Rewarding relaxation instead of only correcting behavior • Predator brains vs. prey brains • Wild horses vs. horses living in the wild • Anthropomorphism in horsemanship • Building trust through consistency, calmness, and understandingThis conversation felt less like learning “about” horses and more like remembering to see the world a little more through their eyes.Pre-order: A Horse's WorldFollow Janet:WebsiteFacebookInstagramLearn more about Horse Brain, Human BrainFollow Little Brown and CompanySend us Fan Mail Support the show✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit

Send us Fan MailHorse Brain, Human Brain was one of the first books I read when I was trying to understand horses better. So when I had the chance to sit down with its author, Janet Jones, for the podcast, I was pretty excited.Janet is a neuroscientist, horsewoman, and the author of her new book, A Horse's World.We talked about trust, fear, learning, the horse's sensory system, and some of the things horses notice that humans often miss. One thing that really stood out to me was this:Dogs tend to give their trust freely. Horses make us earn it.Whether you live with horses, train them, compete with them, or simply enjoy being around them, I think you'll find plenty to think about in this conversation.I hope you enjoy it.https://www.empathetic-trainer.com/

Send us Fan MailTonya Johnston, Mental Skills Coach speaks with researcher Janet Jones, Ph.D. about her new book, A Horse's World: A Neuroscientist's Journey Into the Equine Mind.  Brought to you by Taylor, Harris Insurance Services.Host: Tonya Johnston, Visit her Website, Facebook and buy her book Inside Your Ride Guest:  Welcome to the creative home of Janet Jones' books including her latest effort, A Horse's World: A Neuroscientist's Journey Into the Equine Mind, and the international bestseller Horse Brain, Human Brain: The Neuroscience of Horsemanship. With her background as neuroscientist, horse trainer, and writer, Janet is uniquely positioned to apply brain function to the training of horses and riders. Through experience with about a thousand horses, she has developed training techniques that work with--instead of against--equine brains. In 2014, she took this knowledge public and now teaches brain-based horsemanship all over the world, in person, online, and in writing.Janet's newest book, A Horse's World, introduces the general public to these magnificent prey animals through the real-life narrative of her horse True North, as he progressed from a naïve colt to an adult horse who understands human expectations. Along the way, it offers new knowledge to scientists, equine professionals, and curious general readers about how horses think, feel, learn, interact, and connect with humans. In proposal form, A Horse's World became the object of a bidding war among eight top publishing houses in New York. All horsemanship rests on mutual interaction between horse and human brains. By understanding how our horses' brains work, and how their brains differ from ours, we can ride and handle horses more safelytrain more effectivelyimprove performance in all equine disciplinesprotect our animals' comfort and welfareencourage mutual trust between prey and predator speciesdevelop brain-to-brain communication between species, andcreate stronger horse-and-human teams.All horses and humans have brains and must use them regardless of discipline. For that reason, brain-based horsemanship is as relevant to Western riders as English, as important to headers and heelers or working draft breeds as to dressage champions, racehorses, Grand Prix jumpers, and backyard pasture ornaments. Anyone who works with horses should learn how equine and human brains work in tandem.Janet Jones earned her Ph.D. in cognitive science from UCLA and taught the neuroscience of perception, language, memory, and thought for 23 years. She  trained horses at a large stable early in her career, and later ran a successful horse training business of her own. She has schooled hundreds of green or difficult horses, rides many breeds and disciplines, and has competed in hunter, jumper, halter, western riding, and reining. She uses the basic principles of dressage in all horse sports. Janet developed brain-based horsemanship and offers it to horse enthusiasts in Horse Brain, Human Brain. In her latest book, A Horse's World: A Neuroscientist's Journey Into the Equine Mind, she broadens her perspective to invite the general public to learn why some of us love horses so much.Subscribe To: The Plaid Horse MagazineTitle Sponsor: Taylor, Harris Insurance ServicesSponsors: Zoetis, Sentinel, Chewy and Mojo Joint Join us at an upcoming Plaidcast in Person live event!theplaidhorse.comThank you so much for joining us today on the Plaidcast.

Dr. Jack McCallum — whose remarkable career has included roles as a pediatric neurologist, historian, businessman, university professor, and writer — rejoins the Thrive Hour for a fascinating discussion on how AI may fundamentally reshape the human brain and society itself.  Dr. McCallum argues that humanity's interaction with AI could become the most profound transformation in human history — perhaps second only to the development of language itself. We explore why he believes this shift is so significant, how major transitions throughout history have reshaped civilization, and how our brains physically adapt to new ways of thinking and processing information.  We also discuss education, creativity, intuition, consciousness, human connection, and what skills may become most valuable in the age of AI.An extended version of this conversation will be available on Substack.Follow Dr. Jack McCallum on his substack at changingbrain.substack.comFollow Dr McCallum on his website at JackMcCallumMD.com or on his Substack at changingbrain.substack.com

This episode originally aired previously and is being re-shared due to its continued relevance. Enjoy this conversation with Jeff Hawkins on intelligence, neuroscience, and the future of AI. With growing concerns over whether or not AI will take away jobs and eventually become superior to human intelligence, maybe it's time to take a closer look at the human brain and discover how AI will always have its limitations.  Hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen sit down with Jeff Hawkins, a neuroscientist and computer scientist, whose book A Thousand Brains challenges the way we think about intelligence and how the brain works.  Jonathan, Jules, and Jeff discuss the fundamentals of how the human brain operates and how it differs from the way current AI models work. They also dive into the cutting-edge innovations happening in the world of AI and whether future versions of the technology could one day emulate the human brain more closely.    Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/ All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

Music also helps people learn at any age and in any condition, so it can improve speech, movement, and memory in both healthy individuals and those suffering from illness or injury. Dr. Markind encourages readers to engage actively with music. Whether through singing, dancing, or instrument playing, the benefits of active participation are profound and accessible to everyone, regardless of musical background. This book, filled with straightforward and practical suggestions, is an inspiring guide for anyone seeking to enrich their life through music. Music Between Your Ears shows how the act of engaging with music can profoundly impact your mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

حلقة جديدة من البودكاسترز مع د. سامح سعد ,الباحث و رئيس وحدة بيولوجيا الأورام في مستشفى٥٧٣٥٧, في حوار مختلف جدًا عن المخ البشري، الوعي، الإدراك، وطريقة فهمنا للواقع من منظور علمي وفلسفي في نفس الوقت. بنتكلم عن الكيتامين، علاقته بـ الفصام، وإزاي بيأثر على كيمياء المخ، خصوصًا أنظمة الجلوتاميت، الدوبامين، والتوازن بين الاستثارة والتثبيط داخل الدماغ. الحلقة بتاخدنا في رحلة عميقة لفهم تطور الجهاز العصبي، وليه المخ البشري معقد بالشكل ده، وإزاي الخلايا العصبية بتتواصل مع بعض، وإيه دور النواقل العصبية في تشكيل السلوك، المشاعر، والإحساس بالمكافأة والمتعة. كمان بنتكلم عن الفرق بين استخدام الكيتامين كـ علاج للاكتئاب وبين مخاطره في حالة التعاطي، وإزاي بعض المواد ممكن تغيّر إدراك الإنسان للواقع نفسه. ومن أكتر أجزاء الحلقة إثارة، النقاش عن فكرة إن المخ مش مجرد عضو بيفسر العالم، لكنه كمان بيحاول يتنبأ بيه طول الوقت، وده بيفتح باب كبير للكلام عن الوعي، عمى الألوان، الفرق بين المعرفة والتجربة، وليه كل إنسان ممكن يعيش الواقع بشكل مختلف عن غيره. كمان بنتكلم عن المرونة العصبية، تعافي المخ، نيورالينك، واجهات المخ والكمبيوتر، وهل فعلًا التكنولوجيا ممكن توسّع قدرات الإنسان أو تغيّر فهمنا للهوية والذاكرة. حوار ثري جدًا بيجمع بين علم الأعصاب، الصحة النفسية، الفلسفة، والتكنولوجيا، ويورّي قد إيه فهم المخ لسه في بدايته، وقد إيه الأسئلة الكبيرة عن الذات، الموت، والخلود مرتبطة بشكل مباشر بالطريقة اللي شغال بيها دماغنا. A new episode of Elpodcasters with Dr. Sameh Saad, researcher and Head of the Tumor Biology Unit at 57357 Hospital, in a fascinating conversation about the human brain, consciousness, perception, and how we understand reality from both a scientific and philosophical perspective. We discuss ketamine, its link to schizophrenia, and how it affects brain chemistry, especially the glutamate and dopamine systems, as well as the balance between excitation and inhibition in the brain. The episode takes us on a deep journey into the evolution of the nervous system, why the brain is so complex, how neurons communicate, and how neurotransmitters shape behavior, emotions, and our sense of reward and pleasure. We also explore the difference between ketamine as a treatment for depression and its dangers when abused, and how certain substances can change the way we perceive reality. One of the most interesting parts of the episode is the idea that the brain does not simply interpret the world, but constantly tries to predict it. That leads to bigger questions about consciousness, color blindness, the difference between knowledge and experience, and why every person may experience reality in a different way. The conversation also touches on neuroplasticity, brain recovery, Neuralink, brain-computer interfaces, and whether technology could expand human abilities or reshape our understanding of identity and memory. It is a rich discussion that brings together neuroscience, mental health, philosophy, and technology, showing how much we still do not know about the brain, and how deeply questions of self, death, and immortality are tied to the way our minds work. ‎اسمعوا البودكاسترز على | Listen to El-Podcasters on Spotify - https://anchor.fm/elpodcasters Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/eg/podcast/el-podcasters/id1633419184 Anghami - https://play.anghami.com/podcast/1029463712 El-Podcasters Social Media | منصات التواصل الإجتماعي للبودكاسترز: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elpodcasters Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@elpodcasters Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/elpodcasters Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/elpodcasters/ X - https://www.twitter.com/elpodcasters Snapchat - https://snapchat.com/t/3Zbo2vzS Bassel Alzaro - https://www.instagram.com/basselalzaro https://www.facebook.com/BasselAlzaroX https://snapchat.com/t/CoWlatfk Karim Rihan - https://www.instagram.com/karimrihann Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Breyton Hill attends Brain Night at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. As she explores, she talks to researchers, volunteers, and community members all attending or tabling for Brain Night. Chris Smith, the museum's Coordinator of Current Science Programs explains more about what Brain Night is. The 2026 keynote speaker was Dr. Christa Baker and her postdoc, Dr. Alexandra Venuto, talks about their research in fruit flies. Attendee Zachary Henderson visited their table and shares what he learned. NC State University researcher Dr. Kurt Marsden shares about his work studying zebrafish and how they are surprisingly genetically similar to humans. Dr. John Meitzen's table always has real human brain specimens for visitors to hold. Julia Janosko shares how humbling it is to hold what was someone's consciousness in the palm of your hand. Emily Philips and Ranganath Gopalraj talk about the Neuroscience Club at NC State and how Brain Night is "their Super Bowl." Once again, Chris Smith leaves us with his favorite part of Brain Night: holding a real human brain and nerding out with experts. ★ Support this podcast ★

Dr. Bruce Miller, director of the UCSF Edward and Pearl Fein Memory and Aging Center, examines what neurodegenerative disease reveals about the neural basis of creativity and the social mind. Research in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) shows that visual creativity is not rare: a subset of patients—particularly those with left anterior temporal degeneration—develop new or intensified artistic abilities early in the disease course. These findings suggest that damage to language-dominant left hemisphere regions may release posterior visual networks from inhibition, leading to enhanced visual–spatial expression. Miller situates these observations within human evolution, proposing that art emerges with Homo sapiens, possibly linked to changes in the parietal lobe and the development of the social brain. In contrast, behavioral variant FTD erodes empathy and altruism through right frontal degeneration. Together, these patterns suggest brain asymmetry is central to our creative and social capacities.

Here is something that should make you briefly furious: the reason so many adults stop trying new things — stop picking up instruments and languages and crafts, stop putting themselves in positions of gorgeous, humbling incompetence — is not laziness, and it is not age. It is a scientific consensus that was overturned decades ago and somehow never sent you notice.Pete brings some brain stuff. Tommy brings some hobbies. And together they make a case that two of the most underrated things an adult can do are: willingly be terrible at something new, and stop apologizing for what you do in your free time.Pete's side will change the way you talk to yourself about your own brain. Tommy's side will make you want to immediately go do something completely unnecessary and slightly obsessive. The Feeling Friends segment involves lemon juice, a Polaroid camera, and the birth of an entire field of psychology.Press play.

What if the biggest barrier to high performance at work isn't talent, strategy, or even time — but the way your brain and energy actually function? In this grounded, practical episode of Legendary Leaders, host Cathleen O'Sullivan is joined by Alex Davids, director and founding partner of Next Evolution Performance — a global coaching business that helps leaders and teams achieve more while using less effort. With over 20 years of experience across the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, Alex blends neuroscience and psychology to help people understand how their brain, behaviour, and energy systems really work. Alex opens with a concept that instantly resonates: continuous partial attention — the quiet, cumulative drain of open tabs, constant notifications, and always-on expectations that depletes the cognitive energy leaders need most. She and Cathleen explore why pushing harder is so often the worst strategy for better performance, how to identify your optimal focus period, what sustainable high performers do differently with their devices, and why busyness is frequently a cover for poor systems rather than genuine productivity. Alex also shares candidly the moment she had to admit she wasn't walking her own talk — and the small, deliberate habits she rebuilt around. This is a conversation that will slow you down in the best way — and leave you thinking differently about where your energy is going, and what becomes possible when you stop spending it on the wrong things.   Episode Timeline:   00:00:00 When Performance Meets the Brain 00:04:24 The Hidden Cost of Continuous Partial Attention 00:06:06 Finding Your Optimal Focus Period 00:13:31 Why We're Competing With Our Own Technology 00:19:23 Energy Management Over Time Management 00:22:28 What Depleted Leadership Teams Look Like 00:26:57 Walking the Talk — Alex's Pivotal Moment 00:32:04 Boundaries, Guilt, and the Auto-Responder 00:37:22 What Sustainable High Performers Do Differently 00:41:18 The Experiment of Stillness 00:47:38 Life After Social Media 00:52:55 Dopamine and the Economy of Attention 00:59:55 Observing Your Own Mind 01:04:38 Useful Thoughts Over Positive Ones 01:09:15 Presence as the Ultimate Performance Tool     Key Takeaway:   Reduce Distraction Before Anything Else: Continuous partial attention is quietly draining your cognitive energy without you noticing. Before adding another productivity tool, try removing what's pulling your focus away. Less input is often the highest-leverage move. Match Your Hardest Work to Your Best Energy: Not all hours are equal. Identify when your energy peaks and protect that time for your heaviest thinking — doing it the other way around costs you far more than you realise. Busy and Productive Are Not the Same Thing: If overwhelm feels constant, it's a signal something in the system isn't working. Keep asking: is this actually the best use of our energy right now? Give Your Device a Job Description: Sustainable high performers have a defined relationship with their phone — not just a phone. Deciding what it's for, and what it isn't, is one of the simplest boundaries you can set for your focus and energy. Stillness Is a Performance Strategy: The brain needs space to think creatively, shift perspective, and connect ideas. Building small moments of stillness into your day isn't a luxury — it's how you stay capable of the thinking that actually matters.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​     About Alexandra Davids:   Alexandra Davids is a high-performance coach and cognitive energy strategist who helps business leaders and teams optimize their mental performance and achieve peak productivity without the risk of burnout. As Co-founder of Next Evolution Performance, she specializes in translating neuroscience and behavioral psychology into practical workplace strategies that go beyond traditional time management to include cognitive energy and "effortless high performance."

A fundamental question in biology is: how did humans acquire their unique characteristics? What allows us to stand upright, while our primate ancestors walked on all fours? What brain alterations drove our increased intelligence and allowed us to perceive our own mortality? One of the mechanisms that has been hypothesized to be involved is changes in gene expression elicited by nucleotide alterations in non-coding regions of the human genome. Miles Wilkinson, a professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at UC, San Diego, discusses a class of DNA sequences hypothesized to have this role. These human accelerated regions (HARs) are segments of DNA that exhibit 3 characteristics that—together—make them prime candidates for specifying human-specific traits by altering patterns of gene expression. First, HARs have rapidly changed in sequence specifically in the human lineage. Second, HARs are highly conserved in sequence, indicating they that must have been selected for the ability to confer one or more function in higher organisms. Third, the vast majority of HARs are in the non-coding portion of animal genomes, indicating that most are likely to have a regulatory function.

Humans excel at transmitting ideas, skills, and knowledge across generations, and at building on those competencies in a cumulative manner. James Rilling, Professor of Psychology at Emory University, explores how the transmission of our cumulative culture is assumed to depend on both language and mental perspective-taking, or theory of mind. If humans have specialized abilities in these domains, we must have neurobiological specializations to support them. Our research has used comparative primate neuroimaging to attempt to identify such specializations. The arcuate fasciculus is a white matter fiber tract that links Wernicke's and Broca's language areas. It is known to be involved in multiple, high level linguistic functions such as lexical semantics, complex syntax, and speech fluency. Using diffusion weighted imaging and tractography, we have demonstrated human specializations in the size and trajectory of the arcuate fasciculus that may partially explain human linguistic abilities. Theory of Mind depends on a set of cortical regions that belong to a neural network known as the default mode network that is functionally connected, highly active at rest, and deactivated by attention-demanding cognitive tasks. We and others have used functional neuroimaging to show that chimpanzees and other primates appear to have a default mode network that is similar to that of humans. However, the non-human primate default mode network seems to have weaker connectivity between certain key nodes, suggesting that these connections could play a role in human theory of mind specializations.

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's fascination with brain health and human psychology began with a personal question: why do people perceive the same world so differently? After growing up with a brother diagnosed with schizophrenia, she dedicated her life to understanding the brain. At age 37, she suffered a massive stroke and watched her brain shut down in real time. That experience gave her rare insight into how the brain truly works. In this episode, Dr. Jill shares her whole-brain framework and explains how understanding our four brain characters can transform how we think, feel, and show up in life and business. In this episode, Hala and Dr. Jill will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:51) Childhood Curiosity About the Human Brain (10:14) Experiencing a Stroke at Age 37 (20:38) Warning Signs and Prevention of Stroke (25:13) Watching Her Brain Shut Down (33:45) The Four Brain Characters (44:05) Debunking Left vs. Right Brain Myths (51:19) Whole-Brain Thinking for Entrepreneurs (53:57) Why Society Is Left-Brain Dominant (1:04:24) Can You Control Your Brain?

Human brain cells grown on a silicon chip just learned to play Doom in one week. Australian startup Cortical Labs took 200,000 living neurons from adult skin and blood samples, hooked them up to a microchip, and taught them the full classic FPS using only electrical signals — no traditional programming at all. We break down how this “wetware” actually works, why it uses a fraction of the power that normal AI needs, and the insane part that the CIA's own venture arm is funding it. This isn't sci-fi anymore.

Today we have Dr. Francisco Gonzalez-Lima, a behavioral neuroscientist who was our guest in episodes 106 and 107 back in 2020. Since those 2020 interviews, Francisco and his colleagues at the Gonzalez-Lima Lab have produced dozens of more studies and papers that have advanced their work on methylene blue, transcranial lasers, memory enhancement, neuroprotection and neurocognitive disorders. Francisco and his lab at the University of Texas Austin are recognized as world leaders for their research on the relationships between brain energy metabolism, memory and neurobehavioral disorders. In today's interview, we talk to Francisco about his lab's most recent research on the beneficial neurocognitive and emotional effects of noninvasive human brain stimulation in healthy, aging and mentally ill populations. This research primarily uses transcranial infrared laser stimulation and multimodal imaging, which we will discuss in today's interview. Be sure to check out our earlier interviews with Francisco where he talked aobut his work on brain metabolic mapping and Alzheimer's, episode 106, and his research into methylene blue and near-infrared light as therapies for cognitive disorders, episode 107. Show notes: [00:04:32] Dawn and Ken open our interview with Francisco by mentioning that his lab has been very productive pursuing new research avenues since he was last on STEM-Talk. Ken mentions that Francisco has recently begun collaborating with his sister who has a PhD in computational and applied mathematics and asks Francisco to talk about the work they're doing together. [00:06:21] Dawn shifts to talk about the roadblocks that Francisco and his team have been dealing with, particularly that the review process for academic papers is unusually slow, not just for Francisco's team but at large. Dawn asks Francisco to discuss this issue. [00:10:37] Dawn recaps that in our previous interview with Francisco in 2020, the discussion focused on his research into methylene blue, which has been primarily used to treat methemoglobinemia, however, the potential for methylene blue to treat declining cognitive function is an active area of research. Despite Francisco's successful work with methylene blue, he often gets asked about its safety, largely due to various misconceptions. Dawn asks Francisco to talk about the misconceptions about methylene blue. [00:14:57] Ken asks if Francisco what some other misconceptions about methylene blue are. [00:20:43] Given the discussion of dosing, Ken asks Francisco what the safe dose range is for methylene blue in humans. [00:28:15] Ken mentions an article published a few months ago titled “Beyond plaques: How methylene blue and ketones address vascular hypometabolism in Alzheimer's disease” Ken goes on to mention that the article did a good job of summarizing Francisco's work as well as the work of Steve Cunnane, who was our guest on episode 59. Ken asks Francisco to discuss his thoughts on the article. [00:34:25] Dawn shifts focus to discuss Francisco's work on photobiomodulation, specifically transcranial infrared laser stimulation, which is a non-invasive method for neuroprotection and cognitive enhancement. Dawn explains that Francisco has written two chapters on this topic that summarizes his work in the area, one of which appeared in the Oxford handbook on transcranial stimulation, and the other is in a book on augmentation of brain function, based on a series of presentations he gave in Switzerland. Dawn asks Francisco to give a broad overview of his work on photobiomodulation and transcranial infrared laser stimulation. [00:43:52] Ken asks Francisco to talk about a paper titled “Light buckets and laser beams” that he and other researchers composed after attending a photobiomodulation workshop convened in 2023 by the director of the National Institute on Aging and several NIH lab directors. [00:51:25] Ken asks Francisco if there are any commercially available photobiomodulation devices that he thinks have substantial utility. [00:56:27] Ken asks Francisco to discuss mitochondrial disfunction in the context of neurodegeneration and his work on targeted stimulation of the mitochondria with photo biomodulation. [01:06:58] Ken asks Francisco to talk about the potential benefits of photobiomodulation on the aging process outside of neurodegenerative conditions. [01:17:16] Dawn mentions that transcranial infrared stimulation stimulates prefrontal energy metabolism and oxygenation, which produces cognitive enhancing effects. Dawn goes on to ask Francisco about his recent paper exploring this phenomenon in the context of depression titled “Augmenting internet based cognitive behavioral therapy for major depressive disorder with transcranial infrared laser stimulation.” [01:23:08] In light of the promising results of this study, Ken asks Francisco what he sees as the next research step to further this progress. [01:30:15] Ken comments on how Francisco has not only had great accomplishments in his recent research but also has a lot of fruitful opportunities ahead. [01:31:07] Ken asks Francisco if he has looked at photobiomodulation in combination with transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation. [01:34:28] Ken mentions that for listeners interested in learning more about vagal nerve stimulation they can listen to episodes 179 with JP Erico, and 172 with Kevin Tracey. Francisco discusses the difficulty in knowing whether to attribute effects of vagus nerve stimulation to stimulation of the vagus nerve itself or incidental stimulation of the carotid artery … or some combination. [01:38:33] Ken mentions that Francisco is now trying to move away from animal studies and focus more on human studies. Ken asks what human trials he is hoping to conduct. [01:42:27] Dawn closes our interview thanking Francisco for once again joining us on STEM-Talk.
