In this short episode, first aired in 2011, a neurologist issues a dare to a ragtime piano player and a famous conductor. When the two men face off in an fMRI machine, the challenge is so unimaginably difficult that one man instantly gives up. But the other achieves a musical feat that ought to be impossible.Reporter Jessica Benko went to Michigan to visit Bob Milne, one of the best ragtime piano players in the world, and a preternaturally talented musician. Usually, Bob sticks to playing piano for small groups of ragtime enthusiasts, but he recently caught the attention of Penn State neuroscientist Kerstin Betterman, who had heard that Bob had a rare talent: He can play technically challenging pieces of music on demand while carrying on a conversation and cracking jokes. According to Kerstin, our brains just aren't wired for that. So she decided to investigate Bob's brain, and along the way she discovered that Bob has an even more amazing ability ... one that we could hardly believe and science can't explain.Our newsletter comes out every Wednesday.

Madeleine Finlay hears from Steve Ramirez, an associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University, whose book How to Change a Memory was shortlisted for this year's Royal Society Trivedi science book prize. He explains how scientists have been able to locate memories in the brains of rodents, trigger them artificially and even remove them, and reveals what the practical applications of this science could one day be for humans..

Ce jeudi, on se retrouve pour la saison 2 de ÇA DÉPEND. J'ai le plaisir de retrouver Albert Moukheiber, docteur en neurosciences et psychologue, pour explorer ensemble le sujet des RÊVES !Dans cet épisode, nous démêlons le vrai du faux autour des rêves. Pourquoi rêvons-nous ? Est-ce que nos rêves ont vraiment un sens ? Comment savoir si un cauchemar doit nous inquiéter ? Et si nos rêves en disaient moins sur ce que nous cachons que sur ce que nous vivons ?On parle aussi de rêves lucides, de sommeil et de tout ce que notre cerveau continue de faire pendant que nous dormons. Une conversation qui invite à prendre du recul sur nos nuits, nos émotions et notre besoin de chercher du sens à ce que nous vivons.Je vous souhaite une très bonne écoute !—-Pour découvrir les coulisses du podcast : https://www.instagram.com/inpowerpodcast/Pour en savoir plus sur Albert Moukheiber : https://www.instagram.com/albert.moukheiber/?hl=frPour suivre mes aventures au quotidien : https://www.instagram.com/louiseaubery/Si cet épisode vous a plu, vous aimerez sûrement celui-ci : https://shows.acast.com/inpower/episodes/albert-moukheiber-optimisation—Chapitrage :00:00:00 - Quel est le sens de mes rêves ?00:02:51 - Pourquoi certains rêves sont absurdes ?00:07:11 - Est-ce que je peux contrôler mes rêves ?00:11:16 - Pourquoi je fais des cauchemars ?00:17:00 - Pourquoi le stress influence mes rêves ?00:19:00 - Pourquoi le manque de sommeil nous affecte autant ?00:20:36 - Est-ce que je peux analyser mes rêves ?

What if there's more to psychedelics than the experience itself? What if they can offer a different lens on consciousness, healing, mental health, and the way we understand ourselves?In this thought-provoking episode #108 of the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, we go Beyond the Taboo with bestselling author, speaker, and psychedelic education advocate Matt Zemon for an honest conversation about what psychedelics can and cannot teach us about the mind, healing, spirituality, and ourselves.Matt Zemon is a scholar-practitioner, author, and educator working at the intersection of psychedelics, mental health, spirituality, and modern consciousness research. He holds a Doctor of Ministry from Pacific School of Religion and an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King's College London.As Executive Director of the Council on Spiritual Practices and the author of six books on psychedelics, religion, and healing, Matt brings together scientific research, ancient wisdom, and lived experience. His work focuses on helping people approach profound spiritual and psychedelic experiences with intention, appropriate risk reduction, and meaningful integration emphasizing that the goal is not simply a peak experience, but how those insights translate into everyday life.In this episode, we explore:✅ How Matt's first psilocybin experience helped him reconnect with his late mother and examine beliefs around safety, love and mortality✅ The emerging research around psychedelics and mental health conditions including PTSD, depression, anxiety and substance-use challenges✅ What psychedelic integration can look like through therapy, coaching, breathwork, meditation, yoga, nutrition, sleep and behavioural change✅ The concept of “big T” trauma versus the everyday experiences, losses, relationships and attachments that can also shape us✅ How psychedelic experiences can challenge our relationship with control, vulnerability, self-love and self-awareness✅ Matt's perspective on reclaiming personal agency and making informed choicesNOTE: This episode #108 is being re-released as part of the Best of Self-Care Goddess Podcasts, a collection of some of the most insightful and impactful conversations from the podcast archive.
Who are you becoming—and with whom are you becoming? We only become by belonging. And this isn't merely a psychological principle. It is woven into the very nature of God, creation, and what it means to be human. Join Curt and Pepper as they explore what Genesis tells us about belonging and becoming, why we are created unfinished and in need of one another, and what it means to belong to Jesus—not simply as an idea or belief, but as a real Person. What happens when belonging is disrupted? And how might belonging to Jesus reshape the way we belong to one another? * * * * * Thank you for our season 12 exclusive sponsor, Tabor College Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma.

Description:Late in the nineties, Dov Baron walked on stage in Vancouver before a few hundred strangers who had, it seemed, already made up their minds about him. Fifteen minutes in, with nothing landing, he stopped, walked to the edge of the stage, sat down, and told them the truth: he was there to serve, and he was clearly missing something. Within a couple of minutes, the whole room leaned in. For years he called that moment close to magic.It wasn't magic. And that, it turns out, is the better story, because it can now be measured.This is Part One of a two-parter, and it stays deliberately on solid, peer-reviewed ground. The claim is simple and startling: the field between us is real, and it shows up in the lab. For a century, brain science studied one lonely brain at a time; second-person neuroscience finally wired up two people at once, and a hidden world opened. Storytellers' and listeners' brains couple when communication works and uncouple the instant it fails. Mothers' and babies' brainwaves fall into sync on eye contact, though the researchers are careful to say this is not telepathy; it runs on ordinary signals. Even two pendulum clocks on the same wall drift into a shared rhythm. It is called sympathetic resonance, and it is everywhere.Dov also handles the most over-hyped idea in the field, mirror neurons, honestly: the finding is real, the cathedral built on top of it is shaky. And he leaves you with something you can feel tonight, a coherent bodily state you can tune with slow breathing at around six breaths a minute.Then, one night in 1914, the whole thing scaled up to thousands. The state you carry is the state you bring into every room. This is the ground. Part Two walks off the edge of it.Episode highlights:The stage night that ended Dov's keynote "presentations" for goodThe 2010 study showing two brains couple, and uncouple the instant communication failsWhy mother and baby brainwaves sync on eye contact, and why the researchers insist it is not telepathyThe pop-neuroscience darling that serious scientists spent years walking backThe one coherence state you can tune tonight, at about six breaths a minuteLinksWrite to Dov: dov@dovbaron.com (subject line: The Click)Website; https://DovBaron.comThe Dov Baron Show (interviews) https://DovBaron.com/podcastsBook, The Art of Belonging: Subscribe, and Part Two of Episode Two drops next.Episode 1 in this Series: The Biology of Meaning:About the showThe Polymathic Perspective is a documentary-style solo podcast where Dov Baron examines the emotional logic beneath power, culture, identity, and meaning, drawing on psychology, neuroscience, geopolitics, and philosophy.

8 weeks of meditation is enough to produce measurable changes in the connectivity of your prefrontal cortex. But most people won't do it because they don't see immediate results. My guest this week is Brandon Cowling, a neuroscience student at the University of Texas and the voice behind Brandon's Brainwave, where he's making the science of self-change something anyone can use. Predictive processing was the first idea that stopped me. Your brain is not showing you the world. It's showing you a filtered version based on beliefs you probably didn't choose. The lion is gone, but your amygdala still thinks the boss meeting is one, and your prefrontal cortex pays the price. Brandon describes long-term potentiation, why meditation measurably shifts the default mode network, and the concept of limbic friction, which reframes willpower as a design problem instead of a character flaw. If you've ever wondered why the phone wins every time, the answer is not that you're weak.

Men and women are frequently treated differently by healthcare systems according to a review of global research published in the journal, PLOS One. Women with the same medical conditions as men are less likely to be offered the medical treatments offered to men such as surgery, statins, or strong painkillers. They are also less likely to be offered treatment for conditions like cardiovascular conditions, kidney disease and Parkinson's disease. Claudia Hammond is joined by family doctor, Ann Robinson, to discuss.Claudia and Ann also discuss global disparities in access to dermatological care and the announcement that the Jehovah's Witness ban on accepting blood components in transfusions has been lifted.Also, for centuries scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research reveals that what we call the brain could be two distinct organs that evolved independently over hundreds of millions of years. Claudia speaks to Matthew Grubb, Professor of Neuroscience at King's College London, to ask what we can learn from this revelation and whether he now considers the brain to be two organs.And Paddy Ross, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Durham University, tells us about his research, that children are far more likely than adults to judge a person's emotions by what they hear rather than what they see.Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Jonathan Blackwell

Author, speaker, and neuroscience educator Sarah Peyton joins me to explore what happens when attachment theory, Nonviolent Communication, and the science of resonance come together. Together we explore: Why feeling understood is so important for your child's developing brain, nervous system, and sense of self. The fascinating difference between empathy and resonance, and why that distinction matters in our relationships with our kids. How your own attachment history can influence the way you respond when your child is upset, reactive, or pushing your buttons. Why the same behavior from your child might barely bother you one day, and feel completely intolerable the next. How Nonviolent Communication can help you look beneath your child's behavior and get curious about the feelings and needs driving it. The surprising connection between secure attachment and independence, and why pushing children to become more independent can sometimes have the opposite effect. How becoming more resonant with your child can begin to shift your own attachment patterns too. Why changing the way you relate to your child doesn't happen overnight, but can profoundly change your relationship over time. Whether you're trying to break patterns from your own childhood, understand why certain parenting moments feel so triggering, or simply want to feel more connected to your child, this conversation offers a fascinating new way to think about what it really means to feel seen, understood, and securely connected.

Sigmund Freud's reputation has taken a beating, but neuroscientist and psychoanalyst Mark Solms argues that some of his biggest ideas were decades ahead of their time. In The Only Cure: Freud and the Neuroscience of Mental Healing, Solms revisits the unconscious, memory, emotional needs, and why talking may do more than quiet symptoms. Then psychiatrist Paul Conti shifts the focus from what's broken to what's already working. In What's Going Right: A Powerful New Method for Optimizing Your Mental Health, he explains how recognizing your strengths, balancing your deepest drives, and becoming a better friend to yourself can help you build a healthier mind.
Episode 126: Stop doing this alone. Discover why real, unshakeable sisterhood is the ultimate game changer when considering divorce—and how connection physically rewires your brain for strength.Lovies, welcome back! We are doing something a little different this week because we've hit a Fifth Tuesday—a rare moment on the calendar that only rolls around once every three months!My business advisor gave me the most gorgeous suggestion for these Fifth Tuesdays: take a breath, look back at past episodes that didn't get the love they deserved, and pull a hidden gem up to the surface.Today, we are resurrecting Episode 78, an episode recorded right after Quinn and I returned from our very first Stay or Go retreat. Y'all... Quinn is on fire in this conversation. She drops truth bomb after truth bomb, breaking down the neuroscience of support, why isolation is physically dangerous, and how true connection helps us heal internal misogyny and stop centering men's emotions over our own lives.The timing couldn't be more synchronistic. As we pass into October 2026, we are celebrating two years of the Stay or Go community and preparing for our second annual retreat! Looking at this episode now gives me chills. A year ago, women were listening to this exact conversation feeling lonely, stuck, and terrified. They took the leap, joined the community, and this month, they're celebrating radical personal transformation in person with me.Whether this is your first time hearing this episode or your fourth, let it hit differently today. Let it be your clarion call to stop waiting on the sidelines.What We Dig Into in This EpisodeThe Difference Between Connection and "Performative" Relationships: We unpack Brené Brown's definition of real connection and contrast it with the conditional, role-based relationships many of us grew up with in patriarchal or high-control systems.The Neuroscience of Sisterhood: Why having women in your corner physically increases your capacity to handle hard things and alters your brain's perception of fear—turning an overwhelming threat into a manageable challenge.The Physical Danger of Isolation: Digging into the U.S. Surgeon General's research showing that loneliness carries health risks equivalent to smoking and obesity.Decentering Men and Healing Relational Aggression: How shifting away from competing for male attention allows women to rebuild the broken maternal lines and form safe, sacred webs of support.What "Doing Your Own Work" in Community Looks Like: Why real community isn't a passive venting space or a codependent rescue mission—it's a mirror, a net, and a container for deep self-responsibility.Show Notes: Strong Ground - Brene BrownThe Rise & Fall of Capitalism - Diabolical LiesInstagram ReelOur Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation: The U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory on the Healing Effects of Social Connection and Community. - Surgeon General's AdvisoryDoing Almost Anything is Better With Friends, Research Finds - Washington PostDavis AJ, Crittenden B, Cohen E.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Kevin Mitchell is Associate Professor of Genetics and Neuroscience at Trinity College Dublin. He is interested in the development of connectivity in the brain, specifically in how this process is controlled by genes and how mutations in such genes affect the connectivity of neuronal circuits, influence behavior and perception and contribute to disease. His latest book is Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will. In this episode, we talk about the study of individual differences in psychological traits. We start by discussing what they are. We talk about process ontology and dynamical systems theory. We discuss animal models and ecology. We talk about what we can learn from behavioral genetics, the concept of heritability, and the role of the environment and gene-environment correlations. We discuss misconceptions people have about group differences. We talk about the role of randomness in development and psychology. Finally, we discuss why some behavioral scientists aredeterminists.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Don Yaeger has spent 30 years studying what makes stories stick — and he's put it all into his new book, The Business of Storytelling: Inspire Action, Build Trust, and Drive Results Through Story. In this conversation, Don breaks down why "the story is the strategy," the neuroscience behind why we fall for a good story (looking at you, Steve Jobs), why PowerPoint slides kill more presentations than they save, and the exact "x-ray" method he uses to reverse-engineer his own talks.Don is a 13-time New York Times bestselling author, longtime journalist, and one of the most sought-after storytelling coaches in the world — he's worked with Simon Sinek, Forbes, and NVIDIA's senior leadership, among others.
Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. The landscape of these industries is currently experiencing a wave of transformative changes, from strategic corporate relocations and groundbreaking partnerships to pivotal regulatory approvals and promising clinical trial outcomes. Let's begin with a significant corporate strategy shift. Lundbeck has made the decision to relocate its U.S. headquarters to Boston. This move is strategically designed to establish a global innovation hub that enhances its capabilities in neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Boston's burgeoning status as a biotech innovation nexus makes it an attractive destination, offering access to a rich ecosystem of research institutions and technological expertise. Such an environment is crucial for facilitating advancements in neurological research, reflecting the city's growing influence in the biotech world. Turning to regulatory updates, Merck & Co. and Eisai have achieved a notable milestone with FDA approval for their combination therapy of Welireg (belzutifan) and Lenvima (lenvatinib) as a second-line treatment for clear cell renal cell carcinoma. This approval is particularly significant as it marks the introduction of the first HIF-2α inhibitor combined with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, providing a novel therapeutic approach for patients who have limited options after initial therapies. The combination therapy exemplifies the promise of innovative treatments in oncology, broadening therapeutic landscapes and potentially improving patient outcomes. In business development news, Genentech has partnered with Earendil Labs in a groundbreaking agreement valued at over $1.5 billion to co-develop AI-driven bispecific antibodies for cancer treatment. This collaboration underscores the industry's shift towards harnessing artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize drug discovery and development processes. By leveraging AI, this partnership aims to accelerate the creation of targeted therapies with enhanced efficacy, highlighting a transformative trend in the industry. Clinical trials continue to yield encouraging results. Johnson & Johnson and Legend Biotech's CAR-T therapy, Carvykti (cilta-cel), has demonstrated a five-year survival benefit in a Phase 2 study for multiple myeloma patients. This milestone emphasizes the long-term efficacy of CAR-T treatments in hematological malignancies, showcasing their potential to significantly extend patient survival rates. In parallel, Regenxbio has reported positive three-year durability data for its gene therapy candidate RGX-314 in non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, signaling advancements in gene therapy delivery systems that could revolutionize treatments for chronic conditions. Financial activities within the sector also reflect robust investment trends. Sadarx Pharmaceuticals has raised $446 million through an IPO to advance its siRNA and complement-mediated disease pipelines, indicative of sustained investor interest in RNA-based therapeutics. Additionally, Kasvu Therapeutics secured €30 million in Series A funding to propel its neuroplastogen depression candidate KTX-0141 forward, highlighting a growing focus on mental health therapeutics. However, challenges persist amid these advancements. GSK faces scrutiny from the UK self-regulatory body over transparency issues related to vaccine compliance, while Eli Lilly received criticism concerning promotional language about Orforglipron GLP-1 press releases. These incidents underscore the necessity of ongoing regulatory vigilance to maintain industry standards. Overall, these developments reflect a dynamic landscape characterized by strategic realignments, pioneering scientific collaborations, and significant regulatory milestones. The integration of AI into drug development processes and continuous innovation in therapeutic modalities like CAR-T and gene therapies are poised to enhance patient care significantly. As companies navigate complex regulatory landscapes and foster strategic partnerships, these efforts collectively highlight the sector's commitment to addressing unmet medical needs through advanced science and technology. In summary, the pharmaceutical and biotech industries are poised at an exciting juncture where scientific innovation meets strategic business acumen. With each advancement comes the potential not only to enhance patient care but also to redefine healthcare paradigms globally. As these sectors continue to evolve, their contributions promise a future where biotechnology plays an increasingly pivotal role in improving quality of life worldwide.

I'm a fan of a good interview, especially when there is breaking news to discuss. Ways to measure the brain, including EEG, have been news on this newsletter for some time. We've had Universal Brain at our RAMHT events. I gave 256 lead EEG from EGI (part of Magstim) on my head just the other week in the office. I've written about our work with PRISM EEG-fMRI neurofeedback before. Heck, I've even published a little on novel cases myself.I've interviewed Dave DeCaprio, president of Firefly Neuroscience, right here on The Frontier Psychiatrists:Today's video is the podcast version of the column from Friday…for those who enjoy a watch or a listen, I present…this podcast!

Send us Fan MailWhat does spirituality have to do with the brain, interoception, and nervous system regulation?In this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson explore the connection between the brain, mind, body, and spirit—and why spirituality may be better understood through the broader human experience of transcendence, rather than religion alone.Drawing connections between neuroscience, psychology, interoception, homeostasis, and spiritual experience, Tom and Ruth examine how the brain allows us to sense not only what is happening within our bodies, but also our connection to other people, nature, and something beyond ourselves.In this episode:How interoception connects the brain, body, mind, and spiritThe difference between spirituality, transcendence, and religionWhy humans naturally seek meaning and connection beyond themselvesHow our nervous systems are affected by other people and collective experiencesThe relationship between psychology, spirituality, and whole-person wellnessHow rigid beliefs and perceived threats can become “enemies of the mind”This conversation invites us to think differently about spirituality—not simply as a religious concept, but as part of the interconnected experience of being human.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Roxy's Ride & Inspire RAWcast - Mountain Bike & Mindset Podcast
Why do MTB skills seem to disappear the moment you feel scared, frustrated, overwhelmed or under pressure? You KNOW how to brake. You KNOW where to look. You KNOW what your body should be doing — and yet, on a difficult section of trail, suddenly none of it seems accessible. In previous episodes I've talked about how a lack of automaticity may be the cause, in THIS episode we talk about how you may be sabotaging yourself mentally! Because maybe it's the way you talk to yourself. In this episode of the Ride & Inspire RAWcast, we explore a sport psychology tool called Ileism. It's actually ridiculously simple — but psychological and neuroscience research into self-distancing and emotion regulation helps explain why changing the way we talk to ourselves can influence how we respond under pressure.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your MTB skills can feel inaccessible when pressure risesHow self-talk influences fear, attention and performanceWhat third-person self-talk and ileism areWhy psychological distance can help us regulate emotionsPractical examples on how to replace identity-based thoughts with useful process cuesHow to coach yourself through difficult MTB sectionsWhy the RIGHT technical cues still matterHow this technique can also help with overwhelm, procrastination and stressful situations away from the bikeBecause becoming a better mountain biker isn't "just" about learning what your body needs to do. It's also about learning how to "coach" your brain when it matters.Try the practical self-talk exercise from this episode on your next ride and notice what changes. And DO share it with me
Have you ever wonder if the thing keeping you stuck is yourself? Invisible rules your brain runs on that you have no choice over... In this episode, we go inside guided psilocybin retreats to see how people actually change deep mental patterns. As they say the “trip” is only the start. We talk with Gabriel Charalambides, founder of Odyssey, about what happens in the brain during these experiences: the default mode network quiets down, old self-stories lose their grip, and the mind becomes unusually open to new connections. But the real work shows up afterwards, in the quiet days of writing, reflection, and small experiments that turn a powerful experience into lasting change. We also cover who these retreats help, who they don't, and why integration matters more than most people think. Understand how psychedelics can temporarily loosen rigid thought patterns Learn why post-experience integration is where real change happens See the limits and risks so you can think clearly about your own path If you've ever felt stuck in the same mental loops, this conversation might give you a new map for getting out.

Today on the show, we explore the complex biology underlying a seemingly straightforward question: How do our brains stay healthy – or not – as we age?There seems to be a constant flow of new secrets to healthy brain aging – inflammation, estrogen levels, how the brain clears out its waste. We've talked about many of these explanations on the show, and it can be easy to think that whatever the latest one is, that's the one. At least until the next one comes along.In reality, each of those things is probably part of a larger complex system that guides brain aging. But if that's the case, how do the parts fit together, and how do scientists figure out interventions that could slow or prevent neurodegeneration? That's a tricky challenge to be sure, but it's that challenge we're going to dive into with today's guest, neurobiologist Tom Clandinin.

Dr. Jim Pfaus is a behavioral neuroscientist who has spent decades watching rats have sex to understand what's happening in the brain during desire, arousal, and orgasm. I talk with Jim about what that research can teach us about our own desire, and just how much of it comes down to the brain rather than any one hormone. We tend to assume females have little say in when sex happens, but Jim's research shows the opposite in female rats. They have complete control over whether it happens at all. He also shares a study on partner preference: when a male rat has to wait for one specific female instead of getting instant, easy access to her, he'll seek her out over other females afterward. When there's no wait, that preference never forms. We also get into what dopamine and serotonin are doing during arousal and orgasm, why SSRIs can shut down desire and what can sometimes be adjusted, and the real relationship between testosterone and estrogen in both men's and women's bodies. Jim also explains what might be happening in the brain when GLP-1 medications affect libido, the inverted U-shaped curve behind arousal and performance, how early experiences condition what turns us on for life, why pain responses in conditions like PGAD and vestibulodynia are so hard to fully unlearn, and what his research suggests about psychedelics and sexual connection.What You'll Learn:Why sex is a behavior generated by the brain, not just a matter of hormone levels.What decades of studying rat sexual behavior reveal about desire and consent, including how female rats have complete control over whether sex happens.Why male rats only form a preference for a specific partner when she isn't simply available on demand, and what that suggests about waiting and anticipation.How dopamine drives attention and wanting, and why it drops sharply after orgasm.What serotonin does to desire and orgasm on SSRIs, and how dosing can sometimes be adjusted.The real relationship between testosterone and estrogen in both men's and women's bodies.What might be happening neurologically when GLP-1 medications affect libido.The inverted U-shaped curve, and why some people need more stimulation while others need less.How early sexual experiences can condition lifelong arousal patterns.Why pain responses like PGAD and vestibulodynia are so difficult to fully unlearn, even after the physical cause is treated.Get in touch with Jim:LinkedInGet in Touch with Me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstackPreorder my book

Why kids can't stop moving, and why some students can't sit still in class: an occupational and physical therapist explains the need behind the movement.
What if one of the most powerful tools for dementia and Alzheimer's care isn't another complicated technology—but music, memory, and human connection? Neuroscience advocate and The Day By Day Project founder Kaylie Glenn is changing the conversation around dementia, memory care, senior living, and brain health through the innovative Memory Disco™ Program.And here's the part that makes her story even crazier…Kaylie started this journey at 14 years old.Yep. Fourteen.While most of us at 14 were trying to figure out who liked us, what shoes were cool, and how to survive algebra, Kaylie Glenn was building what would become The Day By Day Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals living with dementia.Today, with a B.S. in Neuroscience, Kaylie is the inventor of the Memory Disco™ Program, a multi-sensory music experience designed specifically for senior living and memory care communities. Instead of focusing only on what dementia may take away, her work looks at what the brain can still access—and uses music, movement, sensory experiences, and human connection to create moments of joy, purpose, and belonging.That idea punched me right in the heart.Because behind every diagnosis is still a PERSON.A mother.A father.A grandparent.A friend.A story.And sometimes the person we think we've lost is still very much there—we just need to find another door.Kaylie's work has been featured in UK Neuro Times, Alzheimer's Today Magazine by the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, and TEDx, but what impressed me most wasn't the résumé.It was the WHY behind the work.This conversation is about neuroscience, dementia care, music and memory, entrepreneurship, innovation, purpose, and what can happen when somebody stops waiting until they're “old enough,” “experienced enough,” or “qualified enough” to make a difference.Kaylie is proof that impact doesn't check your birth certificate before it lets you through the door.This episode might change the way you think about dementia.But I think it might also change the way you think about what's possible when you recognize a problem, care deeply enough about the people affected by it, and decide to DO SOMETHING.That's a VIBE.Watch the full episode and meet Kaylie Glenn, founder of The Day By Day Project and creator of Memory Disco™.
Madeleine Finlay sits down with her co-host and Guardian science editor, Ian Sample, to discuss three science stories from the week, including a study that offers a clue in the age-old debate about whether sex differences are present from birth or a product of socialisation. Also on the agenda is the super El Niño, which is predicted to lead to 450,000 deaths in the next six months, and an answer to why the UK's meningitis outbreak earlier this year was so big..

In this Wellness Tech Series episode, Nurse Doza breaks down SONA — an AI-powered earpiece that delivers gentle vagus nerve stimulation at the cymba concha, the one spot in the outer ear where a branch of the vagus nerve reaches the surface. He explains how the paired app reads heart rate variability in real time, why HRV is a window into stress and recovery, and how short guided breath and audio sessions are designed to fit a schedule with no room for a long meditation. FEATURED PARTNER SONA is an AI-powered wearable vagus nerve stimulator. It sits on the ear and delivers low-level, non-invasive electrical stimulation at the cymba concha — the auricular branch of the vagus nerve — while the companion app tracks heart rate variability so users can watch their own trend across a session. Guided breath work and audio pairings are built in, the app has no monthly subscription, and the device ships with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty. It's the tool Nurse Doza reaches for when the problem isn't knowing how to relax — it's having ten minutes and a way to tell whether anything actually happened.
Are You Really in Control of Your Mind? The Hidden Power of the SubconsciousWhat if some of the behaviors, fears, habits, and emotional patterns we struggle with aren't controlled entirely by our conscious mind?In this thought-provoking episode of The Raw Vibe Podcast, Chuck Tuck sits down with Nelson Whiting of No Limits Hypnotherapy for a fascinating conversation about hypnotherapy, the subconscious mind, belief systems, triggers, addiction, compulsive behaviors, self-acceptance, personal growth, and the connection between our mental and physical states.Nelson explains how he approaches subconscious patterns and why simply knowing that we need to change doesn't always translate into changing our behavior. The conversation explores how triggers and associations can influence habits, how deeply held beliefs can shape our identity, and how changing the way we understand ourselves may influence the way we respond to the world around us.We also dive into what actually happens during hypnosis, the neuroscience and altered states associated with hypnosis, spiritual perspectives on the mind, and the role that faith, grace, and a higher power can play in personal transformation.Nelson shares examples from his work and discusses his approach to creating change in as little as 1–3 sessions, as well as the importance of testing and reinforcing new patterns.Most importantly, this conversation isn't simply about hypnosis. It's about understanding ourselves—why we develop certain patterns, why we sometimes fight against the very changes we want, and how self-love, self-acceptance, and a growth mindset can become part of the journey.00:22 — The role of triggers and belief systems in addiction01:41 — The science behind hypnosis and altered states03:32 — Neuroscience and spiritual views on the mind05:34 — Working with the subconscious to change behavior07:30 — Case studies: overcoming compulsive behaviors10:40 — The importance of self-acceptance and internal energy13:28 — Triggers, associations, and how habits form16:16 — The power of belief systems and changing core identities18:36 — Rapid change in 1–3 sessions and success rates22:23 — The paradox of subconscious protection and change24:44 — The role of faith, higher power, and grace34:46 — Practical tools: accessing and reprogramming the subconscious44:58 — The importance of self-love, self-acceptance, and a growth mindset49:25 — The physical effects of mental states and self-criticism54:33 — Conclusion: Empowerment through understanding the mindLearn more about Nelson Whiting and No Limits Hypnotherapy:No Limits HypnotherapyYou can also visit the website to learn more about their approach, available programs, testimonials, and consultation options.If you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe to The Raw Vibe Podcast, leave a comment, and share this episode with someone who might find the conversation valuable.Have you ever wondered whether your subconscious mind is influencing your behavior more than you realize?Watch the episode.

Send us Fan MailHi my dears! This week I'm diving into one of my favorite topics: how to strive to have a great and long life. These are the amazing folks in their 80s and beyond whose memory is as sharp as someone 20 or 30 years younger. I share what researchers at Northwestern University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and beyond have discovered about how super agers keep their brains young, and I break it down into three simple strategies you might try: challenge your brain, move your body, and get your rest. We talk about Type 2 fun (the kind that's miserable in the moment but amazing looking back), why learning to quilt might do more for your memory than easy puzzles, how walking can actually grow your brain's memory center, and why sleep is when your brain takes out the trash. And yes, I bring back the Blue Zones too!But first, I had to share my latest library jackpot: the Libby app! If you have a library card, you may have free access to hundreds of digital magazines, audiobooks, and e-books right from your tablet. I also share a little about my walks in the woods and by the bay, a story from my husband about why "it's not only about fun," and how a bedtime routine helped my kids sleep.

What if pleasure isn't a luxury, but a biological signal that your nervous system finally feels safe? Regena Thomashauer, aka Mama Gena, is here to explore the powerful connection between pleasure, nervous system regulation, trauma, grief, desire, and our ability to feel fully alive. Regena challenges the idea that pleasure is purely sexual or indulgent and instead reframes it as a daily practice for reconnecting with the body, processing difficult emotions, cultivating creativity, and breaking free from a culture obsessed with productivity and struggle. She shares how her own journey through childhood trauma led her to discover the transformative power of pleasure and is here to help you explore how to move emotions through the body, bring more pleasure into relationships and everyday life, and ultimately learn to love your life—even when you hate what's happening.

What if becoming who we were made to be is inseparable from belonging? In season 11 (if you can remember that far back), we explored rupture and repair—the ways our relationships shape us, and how repair allows us to experience secure attachment. This season, we're taking the next step: belonging to become. Join Curt and Pepper as they explore what it means to belong, why belonging is essential to becoming, and what happens to us when we experience the absence of belonging or when belonging itself includes ruptures that are inadequately repaired. As we begin this season, we'll consider the possibility that I can only become to the degree to which I belong—and what that means for the relationships and communities that are shaping who we are becoming. * * * * * Thank you for our season 12 exclusive sponsor, Tabor College Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma.

ADHD Awareness Month 2026: What Actually Helps? This October, I'm putting community, real experiences and practical support at the heart of ADHD Awareness Month. There are live conversations, Instagram Lives, podcast events and ways for you to share what actually helps in your own life. Visit the Events page to see what's happening and get involved. If you've ever felt shame about what you eat, how you forget to eat, or why your safe foods feel so necessary, this episode is going to be a genuine relief. On this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm delighted to welcome back Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas, clinical neuroscientist, applied microbiologist, nutrition researcher, Honorary Research Fellow at Cardiff University and Senior Lecturer at the University of West London. Miguel has just published his brilliant new book, ADHD Body and Mind: A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System with Neuroscience, Nutrition, and Gut-Brain Health, published by Jessica Kingsley/Hachette. His research has appeared in leading journals including the BMJ and BMC Psychiatry, and his work is known for translating complex science into something genuinely human and accessible. This is one of those conversations that covers a huge amount of ground while never once feeling overwhelming. We talk about why the ADHD brain is wired for resilience and what that actually costs us, why the gut-brain connection matters so much for neurodivergent people, how to approach nutrition with compassion rather than perfectionism, and why your safe foods are not something to be ashamed of. We also get into the language of science, why terms like comorbidity matter, and how researchers like Miguel are slowly shifting the field towards a more neuroaffirmative approach.

In this episode, we cover: Why compassion and kindness are at the heart of Miguel's approach to ADHD, nutrition and the nervous system How the ADHD nervous system forms in high alert, and what that means for resilience and hypervigilance Why ADHD is far more than a dopamine deficiency, and how hormones, gut bacteria and the nervous system are all part of the picture The gut-brain axis and why looking after your gut has a direct impact on your ADHD brain Why the language of science still creates problems, including terms like comorbidity and healthy cohort, and how researchers are starting to push back How to read ADHD Body and Mind in whichever way works for your brain, whether that's cover to cover or jumping straight to chapter nine Why understanding the why behind your ADHD behaviours is the keystone to change, even when it doesn't fix things overnight Miguel's approach to nutrition: keep your safe foods, add rather than subtract, and never shame what nourishes you Why safe foods are doing an important job for your nervous system, and why being pushed out of your comfort zone too quickly never lasts The circle approach to expanding your diet gently, starting from your anchors and building outward Why a hot bath is an act of self-compassion backed by neuroscience, and why you don't need to get into cold water to support your nervous system The self-kindness toolkit at the end of the book and what it covers Chapters: 00:00 - Welcome and introducing Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas back to the podcast 02:00 - What's at the heart of ADHD Body and Mind, and why compassion comes first 05:00 - Why the ADHD nervous system is wired for hypervigilance and resilience 08:00 - ADHD as more than dopamine: hormones, gut bacteria and the full picture 11:00 - The neuroaffirmative lens in academic research and why language matters 15:00 - How the gut-brain axis connects to ADHD and emotional regulation 19:00 - The awareness and repetition model: why understanding the why is the keystone 23:00 - Nutrition without perfectionism: how to approach food with kindness 27:00 - Safe foods, anchors and adding rather than subtracting 32:00 - The circle approach: expanding your diet gently from the inside out 37:00 - The ADHD cookery school: creativity, condiments and cooking without recipes 42:00 - Hot baths, cold water and why softness is sometimes the braver choice 46:00 - The self-kindness toolkit and what the book offers neurodivergent readers and clinicians Links and Resources: Find my popular ADHD Women's Wellbeing workshops and resources on my website here.

But the deeper I've gone in my own recovery—and the more men I've worked with—the more convinced I've become that pornography addiction is rarely just about sexual desire.For many of us, porn became a way of coping long before we understood what we were doing. It helped us escape loneliness, inadequacy, stress, fear, powerlessness, shame, or emotional pain we didn't yet know how to name.That is where storywork can become incredibly valuable.In this episode, I explore the psychology and neuroscience behind storywork and why understanding your past can help you recognize the emotional triggers, beliefs, nervous system patterns, and survival strategies that continue to affect your porn addiction recovery today.This is not about blaming your childhood or using your past as an excuse.It is about understanding your story well enough that you can stop unconsciously repeating it.I walk through seven ways storywork can support recovery, including how it can help you bring hidden patterns into awareness, identify difficult emotions, understand your porn triggers, reduce shame, develop self-compassion, and begin building an identity that is no longer organized around addiction.You'll also learn why storywork needs to be more than an intellectual exercise. Healing often requires slowing down enough to actually feel what you felt, put language around it, and experience difficult emotions without immediately escaping from them.One of the most important questions I invite you to consider is:What was happening in your life when porn first began becoming important to you?What were you feeling?What did porn give you—or help you avoid?Those questions are not meant to excuse the choices you've made. They can help you understand them well enough to start making different choices now.Recovery is about far more than fighting urges. It is about becoming increasingly grounded, emotionally aware, connected, compassionate, responsible, and capable of leading yourself through the places you once needed to escape.If you want to go deeper into this kind of work, the men inside the No More Desire Academy are currently working through a structured storywork process that includes the Seed Story, Survival Story, Sexual Story, Shadow Story, and Sobriety Story.Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, the free online community, my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you're tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.

What can neuroscience and neurodiversity teach us about creativity, and how can we create professional development experiences that are both meaningful and enjoyable? In this first debrief episode of Season 13, Dr. Matthew Worwood and Dr. Cyndi Burnett reflect on their recent conversations with Adam Green, Leonie Baldacchino, and Dr. Matt Zagreski. They revisit ideas about creativity, neuroscience, neurodiversity, and the role of fun in learning. The conversation explores whether we sometimes overcomplicate creativity, how evaluation can affect students' willingness to take creative risks, and why creativity should be recognized across all areas of learning, not just gifted education. They also discuss the value of fun in professional development. Rather than using activities simply to entertain, they consider how purposeful play, warm-ups, and opportunities to connect can help educators engage, build relationships, and prepare for deeper learning. Key Takeaways Creativity does not always need to be complicated to be encouraged or recognized. Evaluation should allow space for students to take creative risks and demonstrate growth. Neurodivergent students may need different environments and opportunities to thrive. Creativity belongs in every classroom, not only gifted education. Fun in professional development can be valuable when it has a clear purpose and connection to learning.

This discussion unveils how urban environments can be reimagined through an open-ended, adaptive lens that balances top-down and bottom-up approaches rather than picking one or the other as the way to support cities. Author Elena Porqueddu advocates in "Designing the Complex City: A Systemic Approach to Spatial Design" for a design methodology that fosters self-regeneration and adapts to the dynamic, unpredictable nature of urban environments. Unlike rigid master plans, this approach views cities as evolving entities where incremental design interventions catalyze positive change.Show Notes:Further Reading: Action, Property, and Beauty: Planning with and for Emergent Urban Complexity by Stefano Cozzolino and Stefano Moroni A Planners Encounter with Complexity by Gert De Roo and Elisabete A Silva A Critical Introduction to Planning Theory: Complexity, Institutions and Justice in Cities by Stefano Moroni Minding the City: Field Notes on Neuroscience and the Poetics of Sustainable Public Space by Harrison Fraker, Peter Siostrom, Atanaska FotevaBecoming Places: Urbanism / Architecture / Identity / Power by Kim DoveyArchitecture and Embodiment: The Implications of the New Sciences and Humanities for Design by Dr Harry Francis Mallgrave To help support the show, pick up a copy of the book through our Bookshop page at https://bookshop.org/shop/bookedonplanning or get a copy through your local bookstore!To view the show transcripts, click on the episode at https://bookedonplanning.buzzsprout.com/Ray Planning SolutionsA seasoned planner with experience in land development, zoning admin and community revitalizationDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
