What is the psychology behind how the human brain constructs reality? When David Eagleman fell twelve feet off a roof as a child, the entire fall lasted just 0.6 seconds, yet his brain made it feel like an eternity. That moment sparked a lifelong curiosity about the brain and how it constructs perception, ultimately leading him to Stanford and a career in neuroscience. In this episode, David reveals the science of time perception, brain plasticity, and sensory substitution, and why the human brain is far more powerful and expandable than you ever imagined. In this episode, Hala and David will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (01:26) A Childhood Fall That Revealed Time Perception (06:46) How the Brain Constructs Reality  (10:33) Hidden Senses the Human Brain Is Missing (16:46) What Is Brain Plasticity and Livewiring? (27:50) Sensory Substitution and Expanding Human Senses  (36:29) The Psychology Behind Why Humans Dream (42:02) Where Science Meets Spirituality and Religion  (48:47) The Future of Livewired Technology (51:39) Why Human Intelligence Still Outsmarts AI David Eagleman is a neuroscientist at Stanford University, a bestselling author, and the founder of Neosensory and BrainCheck. He is the writer and presenter of the international PBS series The Brain with David Eagleman and The Creative Brain on Netflix. His bestselling book Livewired reveals how the brain adapts in real time, reshaping our understanding of perception, consciousness, and human psychology.

This might be the most vulnerable episode we've ever recorded. No guests. No buffer. Just Mayim and Jonathan…and something we didn't realize was quietly shaping Mayim's entire life! We're talking about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) — and what started as a casual conversation turned into a full-blown personal reckoning. If you've ever: - Felt physical pain when you thought someone was disappointed in you - Spiraled for HOURS (or years) over one tiny mistake - Assumed you were getting fired every time your boss said, “Can we talk?” - Left parties early because you were sure you didn't belong - Become enraged, ashamed, or devastated over something other people say “isn't a big deal” …this is the episode to help you make it all make sense. Mayim & Jonathan break down: - Very real, very intense emotional and physical experience of RSD (the kind often associated with ADHD and neurodivergence, but not limited to it) - What's happening in the brain - Why logic DOESN'T fix it - Overlap with perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, & rage - Why success, fame, or external validation doesn't magically make it go away - Whether extreme physical training could override emotional sensitivity Mayim shares stories she's never shared before: - Why being late to meetings triggers white hot rage - Why improv makes her want to cry - Why hosting Jeopardy! didn't protect her from feeling exposed - What it was really like making public appearances while starring on The Big Bang Theory And yes…you know they had to take a quiz. Follow along with us and share your results! This Isn't About Being “Too Sensitive”. This is about a nervous system that experiences perceived rejection as catastrophe. For some people, it feels like: - Being punched in the chest - Not being able to breathe - Instant shame and/or rage - Total collapse of perspective And if you don't experience this? You'll finally understand what someone you love might be going through. The Hard Questions We Ask - Is this just low self-esteem? - Are we over-diagnosing everything? - Is this a modern luxury problem? - Does having a label help…or limit you? - Can confidence actually fix this? - What you can actually do to cope And the most important takeaway: This isn't about weakness. It's about perception. And perception can shift. This conversation evolved in ways we did NOT expect. It's raw. It's personal. It's uncomfortable. And it might explain things in your life you've never had language for. If you've ever wondered, “Why does this hurt so much more for me than for everyone else?” Start here.

What if the very beliefs driving your success are also the ones quietly burning you out? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, host Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with neuroscientist and founder of Dr. Rewire, Dr. Alok Trivedi, for a powerful conversation on how the brain, beliefs, and nervous system truly shape success and fulfillment. Dr. Alok shares his origin story, the breakdown that sparked his breakthrough, and how decoding the “anatomy of belief” allowed him to rewire his life and business. Together, they explore why traditional mindset work often falls short, why the brain is wired for protection rather than happiness, and why integration, not hustle, is the real path to sustainable performance. The conversation dives into Dr. Alok's Four Brains framework, the dopamine-driven highs and lows of achievement, and how entrepreneurs can align with their true design to reduce burnout, anxiety, and self-sabotage.

We are so happy to have Dr. Elina Veytsman join us for this episode of the show! Dr. Elina Veytsman is a licensed psychologist and the Director of Training at the UCLA PEERS® Clinic, where she leads groups for neurodivergent youth and their caregivers while also training interns, postdocs, and professionals. She earned her Psychology degrees at UCLA and UC Riverside, researching developmental disabilities and transition experiences for youth and parents, and completed her doctoral internship providing therapy, parent training, and diagnostic assessment services. Since joining the UCLA PEERS® Clinic in 2014, she has delivered the PEERS® program in multiple settings and also provides individualized PEERS services through a private practice in Los Angeles. Dr. Elina Veytsman joins us to discuss how we help neurodivergent teens and young adults explore dating in ways that are both safe and authentic to who they are. We unpack the importance of supporting relationship development for neurodivergent youth without removing their agency or individuality, and we start off by unpacking a common misconception - that autistic or neurodivergent youth are not interested in romantic relationships. In reality, many deeply want connection but may not have been given clear, explicit guidance about the social patterns that others often learn more informally. Our conversation in this episode explores how dating skills are teachable rather than innate, and Dr. Veytsman explains that social skills such as reciprocal conversation, recognizing romantic interest, understanding boundaries, and processing rejection can be broken into concrete, observable steps. Much of the work that she discusses is grounded in research and sociological observation, with more than 75 scientific papers supporting PEERS® programming. This episode of the podcast also touches upon how social cognition, perspective-taking, and communication differences can affect dating experiences. Safety and vulnerability are also major themes that we talk about, and we discuss risks such as online exploitation, misreading friendliness as romantic interest, and the challenge of recognizing subtle social cues. Dr. Veytsman highlights that vulnerability often comes from inexperience rather than neurodivergence itself and that education about red flags, consent, and online behavior can be very protective! Our discussion also highlights the strengths-based philosophy behind PEERS®. Rather than changing identity or forcing conformity, the program focuses on expanding communication tools, building confidence, and supporting young people as they pursue relationships that feel meaningful to them. If you are a parent, clinician, or someone interested in how neurodivergent youth can approach dating with confidence and safety, then this episode is not one that you will want to miss! Show Notes: [2:44] - Dr. Veytsman explains how romantic skills often begin in adolescence, starting with friendship and learning conversation, boundaries, and recognizing shared interests. [5:24] - Dating challenges could include one-sided conversations, so the program first teaches reciprocal communication before introducing relationship-specific skills. [7:10] - Dr. Veytsman discusses how limited peer learning and social cue misunderstanding can increase vulnerability to online exploitation. [10:23] - Hear how perspective-taking and social cognition can be strengthened like a muscle with structured practice of social thinking and empathy skills. [12:20] - Early training in communication, risk awareness, and perception helps build meaningful relationships by improving social understanding and behavior awareness. [13:42] - Vulnerability often arises from limited experience; explicit education helps youth recognize manipulation, red flags, and online safety risks. [16:41] - The PEERS® program is a strengths-based, neurodiversity-respecting, and skill-building dating / social development program for neurodivergent youth! [17:11] - Preparation, coaching, and education help autistic youth build healthy relationships via learning consent, rejection, safety, and partner recognition. [19:21] - We learn that approximately 70% of participants involve parents learning to coach social skills while respecting individuals' goals. [22:52] - Hear how the program truly promotes neurodiversity, teaches social tools for connection, and encourages personal choice rather than masking. [25:16] - Dating education covers rejection, boundaries, consent, and flirting as observable, research-grounded behaviors. [27:59] - We further learn how flirting and interest are taught via low-risk signals such as eye contact, smiles, and reciprocal conversation exchanges. [30:44] - Hear why online profiles should present clear, positive, authentic information and use profile-specific messages to initiate meaningful contact. [33:13] - Caregivers can help reinforce skills with praise-based feedback, homework practice, and shared interest activities. [36:57] - Evidence shows that PEERS® improves dating behavior, confidence, social participation, and relationship skill use across research studies! [40:08] - How can Dr. Veytsman be contacted?

David Sussillo is a neuroscientist, technologist, and author of Emergence: A Memoir of Boyhood, Computation, and the Mysteries of Mind. Kate first met David when they were classmates at the Milton Hershey School in Hershey, Pennsylvania. David has made a career at the cutting edge of neuroscience and technology, yet his path there was anything but a straight line. Born to drug-addicted parents in New Mexico, he navigated a childhood marked by violence and neglect. But a seed was planted at the unlikeliest of places—the local arcade. What follows is a remarkable journey of resilience and transformation, from the chaotic corridors of group homes to the halls of Columbia and Stanford. Along the way, Sussillo takes readers on an illuminating tour of the century-long dance between neuroscience, physics, and computation that has laid the groundwork for neural networks—the technology that drives modern artificial intelligence. As he advances in the field, working to demystify these networks, he also begins to pursue an answer to a more personal question: why, and how, did he succeed against all odds?

Why does the modern pursuit of happiness so often leave people feeling lost? In this episode of The Lectern, John Vervaeke speaks with cognitive scientist Mark Miller about the emerging science of happiness and the deeper architecture of the human mind. Drawing from predictive processing theory, the conversation explores how human beings function as epistemic agents who constantly construct models of the world and themselves. The discussion examines why common cultural narratives about happiness are often misleading and why genuine flourishing requires understanding the underlying cognitive processes that shape perception, motivation, and meaning. Mark introduces the framework behind his Lectern course Generations of Joy, which integrates cognitive science, philosophy, contemplative practice, and modern neuroscience. Mark Miller is a cognitive scientist specializing in predictive processing, wellbeing, and the cognitive science of happiness. He teaches in the psychology and cognitive science programs at the University of Toronto and conducts research with the Center for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies at Monash University.

What do you do when you have a bad reading or have bad dreams? You can change them! Find out the easy fix in this episode of Breathe Love & Magic Maybe someone told you something that felt off in a reading that stuck in your head for years. The reader might have said, “You'll never meet the right partner,” or “You'll always struggle with money.” Gee, thanks for that notion. Argghhhh! Feeling lost in midlife?

Like a Pebble in Your Shoe Statements like that can lodge in the subconscious like a pebble in your shoe – so bothersome until you can remove it.  I recommend that’s what you do with a bad reading – replace it with something that’s supportive or positive. Years ago, this is one reason why I stopped getting casual readings, the kind where you're just curious and want to hear what an intuitive person has to say. For me, that started to feel like giving my power away. I still ask a trusted friend for intuitive insight from time to time, but only about a specific situation where I truly want another perspective. Or I feel stuck and aren’t sure which way to go. Recent Reading Recently, I was interviewing a woman who does an interesting style of readings. I allowed her to use me as a guinea pig during the podcast recording so she could demonstrate her method. That was not my best idea. I asked what I thought was a simple question that wouldn't get me into any trouble. How wrong I was. The experience inspired me to share this story because I want you to know how to handle something like this if it happens to you. I'm going to explain how to reset your energy and take your power back. And this same method can also help with bad dreams or even uncomfortable past life memories. Back in the 1990s I used to attend psychic fairs with friends. I was curious about metaphysical practices and fascinated by the people who lived and breathed this work. Plus, it was fun browsing books, crystals, and spiritual tools that were much harder to find back then. At One Psychic Fair At one fair I sat down for a reading and asked about my near future. The reader started describing a situation that immediately made me nervous. Before I knew it she was predicting that I would become ill in the coming months. I was currently healthy and had not asked anything about my health. I remember feeling furious that someone would say something like that so casually. My reaction wasn't exactly graceful. I stood up, slammed my hands on the table, looked her in the eye, and said, “That was not helpful!” Then I walked away in a huff. Admittedly, not my finest moment. Thankfully I never became ill that spring, but the reading lingered in my mind for a while. At that time I didn't know how to clear something like that out of my energy field. Fast forward to last week during that podcast interview. The woman I was speaking with seemed nice and good-hearted, but at one point she said something that made my jaw drop. She said you always need a bad element in a reading. That is definitely not true in my world. Helpful & Uplifting Readings When I do readings for clients, the goal is always clarity, compassion, and support. Even when something challenging appears, I talk about the lessons involved and what options or perspectives might help. A reading should leave someone feeling more empowered, not discouraged. As the recording continued, the direction of the reading she was giving me started to feel increasingly dismal. She tried to soften it when she noticed my facial expression, but the cat was already out of the bag so to speak. When we finished recording, I suddenly felt exhausted and strangely sad. I went to lie down on the couch and took a short nap. When I woke up I realized what had happened. That reading had left a heavy feeling hanging over me. First, Clear Your Energy The first thing to do after an encounter like that is clear your energy. I did a quick Reiki clearing and there are many ways to do this. You can smudge yourself, take a shower, wash your hands, or simply step outside for fresh air and sunshine. Then I remembered something incredibly helpful I learned years ago from Hawaiian shaman Serge Kahili King, and later encountered again in a book by Denise Linn. It's a simple idea that changes the way you see situations like this. You are not stuck with someone else's predictions. You have the power to change the outcome energetically. This same approach works in three situations: bad readings, disturbing dreams, and troubling past life memories. Here's what I did. Change the Outcome I spent time imagining the outcome I actually wanted. For example, I pictured the perfect summer. Lots of sunshine. Temperatures in the low 80s and low humidity. Walking along the shoreline or sitting with my feet in the sand. In my mind I was reading a book, meditating, writing in my journal, laughing with friends, and soaking up the ocean air. It felt peaceful and joyful. That was the energy I wanted to create. If you've had a discouraging or bad reading, you can do something similar at home. Take out your deck of cards. Don't perform a new reading. Instead, look through the deck and choose the cards that represent the outcome you truly want. Next arrange them as your ideal spread. This isn't wishful thinking. This is directing energy. Magic isn't about waving a wand and hoping for the best. It’s intention combined with focus and action. When you select the outcome you want and imagine it clearly, you begin aligning your thoughts and energy with that direction. Once you arrange the cards, you can take a picture of them, leave them out on your table, or revisit them whenever you want to reinforce the feeling. You've intentionally shifted the energy toward the outcome you desire. You are never stuck with someone else's reading. My future is up to me. It's in my hands. And so is yours! Change Bad Dreams This approach works with dreams as well. I once had a dream where a lion was staring at me in a threatening way. I woke up with my heart pounding and no idea what it meant. Later that day I thought about the dream and realized I had been feeling threatened in some area of my life. So I decided to revisit the dream in my imagination. I got on the couch, pictured the lion again in my mind, and waited to see what response came naturally. To my surprise, I roared at the lion. I became fierce and confronted it head-on. And in the vision, the lion backed away. It sounds funny now, but it completely shifted the energy of that dream. After all, it's your dream. You can change it any way you like. You can do something similar with past life memories. in Denise Linn’s book Past Lives, Present Miracles,  describes guiding large groups of people to recall past lives and then helping them rewrite the ending of a troubling experience. The lessons have already been learned. But changing the ending can shift the emotional imprint you carry. In one memory I recalled being part of a group practicing magic in Venice during the 1400s. Someone tipped off the authorities and they burst in and executed everyone. I did a visualization about this ending to change it. What came to me was to invite the guards to join us in the magic rather than kill us. In the vision they laid down their weapons and participated in the magic! The energy of the experience changed completely. The Magic of Neuroscience Why does this work? Neuroscience offers an interesting explanation. When you vividly imagine something, your brain activates many of the same neural pathways it would if the event actually happened. And your brain cannot tell the difference between a created memory or a real one. Focusing on a new outcome creates and strengthens new neural pathways. You aren't changing the historical event, but you are changing the emotional imprint it leaves in your system. And that shifts your energy. So if you ever receive a discouraging reading, had dreams or recalled an uncomfortable past life memory, remember this: No reader, no dream, and no memory has more authority over your life than your own consciousness. You have the power to choose the energy you want to create. Set your intention. Focus your thoughts on the outcome you prefer. Then take whatever actions support that direction. That's magic.

On social media, the vagus nerve often gets billed as the gateway to nervous system nirvana: It's your ticket to better rest, relaxation, and health if you “stimulate” it correctly. Where did this idea come from, and what does the research say?  Host Flora Lichtman talks with neurosurgeon Kevin Tracey, a pioneer of a field called bioelectronic medicine, which uses techniques to stimulate the nervous system with electricity. Back in the 1990s, he was the first to discover that the vagus nerve regulates the immune system and inflammation. Guest: Dr. Kevin Tracey is a neurosurgeon, and president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health. He is the author of The Great Nerve.

Understanding the conditions under which generosity aligns with a person's identity is crucial for bridging this gap.Q: How should fundraising efforts be approached?A: Fundraising should primarily focus on belief updating rather than mere persuasion.Q: What are the benefits of being generous?A: Generosity has significant mental and physical health benefits, as the brain's reward systems activate when we give, making us feel good.Q: How do our beliefs relate to our actions?A: Our beliefs about ourselves strongly influence our actions and decisions, including our decision to be generous.Q: Can generosity impact a community?A: Yes, generosity can be a powerful tool for improving community dynamics.Q: How can technology like AI assist institutions with donors?A: AI could help institutions remember donors better, improving the donor-institution relationship.Chapters:00:00 What's the role of Behavioral Science inPhilanthropy19:57 What is The Neuroscience of Generosity?24:40 How can we best understand Donor Decision-Making?32:14 How can we achieve reframe Beliefs and Actions?35:39 What is the role of Identity in Habit Formation?38:06 What is the Generosity Gap in Philanthropy?45:06 How can we reduce Friction in Donation Processes?48:27 What is the role of AI and Trust in Nonprofits?52:11 How can we build Predictive Models for Donor Behavior?55:41 What is the role of Empathy in Sales and Stakeholder Engagement?01:00:46 How can we best align ideas with Stakeholder Beliefs?01:02:06 How can we explore Generosity and Memory?Thank you to my Patrons for making this episode possible!Links from the show:Come meet Alex at the Field of Play Conference in Manchester, UK, March 27, 2026! https://www.fieldofplay.co.uk/Bayesian workflow agent skillNeurogiving, The Science of Donor Decision-MakingCherian's websiteCherian's press kitLBS #89 Unlocking the Science of Exercise, Nutrition & Weight Management, with Eric Trexler

What would you do if you were already the person you're trying to become? In this episode, I share a quick personal update and a mindset shift that's been shaping the way I make decisions in both business and life. I open up about a recent health challenge, including a herniated L5 and lumbar spine degeneration, and the unexpected loss of my long-time chiropractor. While surgery has been suggested, I'm focused on healing through other approaches and staying committed to recovery. Then we dive into the concept of “acting as if.” It's a powerful decision-making filter: make choices from the perspective of the person you want to become, not just where you are today. I share how I use this with leaders who are scaling their businesses, as well as a personal moment where I realized I wasn't following my own advice when hiring marketing support. One simple question challenged me to step back into alignment with the version of myself I'm working toward. If you've been hesitating on a decision or waiting for the “right time,” this episode will give you a simple mindset shift to move forward with more clarity and confidence.

Thanks for listening to today's Neurology Minute. Once again, this month, we have Natalia Rost joining us, the president of the AAN for her presidential spotlight. Natalia, the sun is starting to come out. The flowers are starting to bloom. Spring is here. What is going on with the academy? What would you like to tell us about this month? Dr. Natalia Rost: These are exciting times indeed. Our annual meeting is just one month away. And so I'm looking forward to all of us coming together to learn, share ideas, and to connect. And this year, the world's largest neurology event is even larger. And I like to say it's my meeting of 15,000 friends. Dr. Jason Crowell: Terrific. For those who are listening today who haven't heard about the annual meeting, what would you like for them to know about it? Dr. Natalia Rost: Well, so the meeting takes place April 18th through 22nd in Chicago and online. And like so many, I love Chicago. It's a world-class city. It's a major travel hub and making it easy for many of us to attend. And we're expecting presentations of more than 3,500 abstracts. It's a new record for our meeting. Registration is also trending ahead of previous years, so now is the time to make your plans. Dr. Jason Crowell: And what would you say are the three things that you look forward to the most every year at the meeting? Dr. Natalia Rost: Well, first of all, the Sunday of this meeting, April 19th, is our research day, which will focus on advancing neuroscience and the AAN's renewed commitment to research funding we talked about last month. It includes my presidential plenary, which is titled Neuroscience at the Crossroads, and which will feature interactive panels of seasoned neuroscience leaders and clinician scientists who are right in the midst of their exciting careers. We will have our research hub to take part in many opportunities to support our high quality research program, so that's going to be great. Another highlight is a celebration of the extraordinary accomplishments of Dr. Walter Koroshetz, the immediate past NINDS director, and a phenomenal neurologist who is our 2026 President's Award winner and who will join us at the Presidential Plenary. This is going to be a very special and spirited event. And also, I'm excited to debut the new Brain Hub this year. I hope folks will stop by. Along with that, we have a special museum exhibit and reception for the Neurology Journal's 75th anniversary. I sure will be stopping by both. Dr. Jason Crowell: I would say that people in the world of medicine often misunderestimate just how much fun neurologists can be. What fun is planned for the annual meeting this year? Dr. Natalia Rost: Oh yeah, we're on it. As always, we will have our celebrated annual meeting party on Sunday night. This year, the entire Griffin Museum of Science and Industry will be hours to explore while you enjoy your food, drinks, and conversation with colleagues.

What if everything you thought you knew about yourself was wrong?For over two decades, University of Chicago professor J. Eric Oliver has taught a legendary course—The Intelligible Self—that students consistently describe as life-changing. Now, in How to Know Your Self, he brings that transformative classroom experience to readers everywhere, guiding us through the most profound journey of all: discovering who we really are.With warmth, wit, and a gift for illuminating the unexpected, Oliver weaves together insights from neuroscience, psychology, physics, and ancient philosophy to explore the mystery of selfhood. What is this thing we call "me"? How does it form? And why are the answers we have inherited, even the ones we have arrived at ourselves so often, illusions rather than truth?More than a collection of life hacks or quick fixes, How to Know Your Self offers something rare: a transformative framework for understanding what it means to be a person. Drawing on decades of teaching, research, and lived experience, Oliver reveals how a deeper grasp of the self can fundamentally reshape the way we navigate our one precious life.J. Eric Oliver is the author of How to Know Your Self: The Art & Science of Discovering Who You Really Are. https://www.amazon.com/How-Know-Your-Self-Discovering/dp/1324095237http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

As someone who has always been drawn to explore a variety of interests, FollyHollyLynn's creative path reflects a lifelong openness to change and growth. Growing up, she experienced both ends of the spectrum when it came to quality of life; nothing overly dramatic in the early years, but enough to evoke deep feelings at times. Later on, nothing excessively lavish, but enough to inspire genuine joy.At seventeen, she left home to pursue a dream of becoming a scientist at Dalhousie University, enrolling in Neuroscience with a minor in Philosophy. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 proved to be an unexpected turning point. Choosing to graduate with a degree in Psychology instead allowed her the space to take time off from academics and focus on her mental health. During this period, her connection to the arts deepened significantly.Even as she returned to the workforce, her creative practice continued to expand and evolve. Already a writer and musician, she gradually took up painting and later began modelling, with the aspiration of one day moving into performance art. As she puts it, that likely means it's time to start connecting with videographers too.Learn more @follyhollylynn

These days people talk about neurochemicals a lot. Chemicals like dopamine, and cortisol, and the love chemical, oxytocin.I've always wondered how these chemicals are affected by copy, and how much it matters.So imagine my surprise when I discovered what our very special guest was doing! His name is Clive Cable, and he's not only written a book about this, he has a complete system to evaluate copy based on the neurochemistry the copy will cause, and the buying behavior that chemistry will lead to.The book is called Neurocopy, and it's the first systematic work I've ever seen that shows how copy stimulates certain chemicals, and how those chemicals make people want to buy.Clive is a trailblazer with his pioneering work. But I want to make it clear that he's not some ivory tower guy sitting in a white coat in a lab measuring blood levels of dopamine and endorphins with a clinical chemistry analyzer.No, Clive's one of us. He got started as a door-to-door salesman, offering home improvement products and services for as much as $25,000 a pop–and closing an amazing two out of every three people he talked to.He's also an experienced copywriter, and has generated over £40 million, which is over 50 million dollars, across 12 different industries.Clive also built a supplement company that generated £24,000 a month, selling products including colloidal silver, prebiotics and aerobic oxygen.All of which to say that nothing he says about the process of buying and selling is theoretical. He's lived it and he lives it.And he's a great salesperson!I can also say that after I read through his book, I started to feel the effects of cortisol, which is a feeling of high stress, right before high-stakes events, and the effects of endorphins, which is a feeling of relief and satisfaction, after those events ended well.There's a lot more to all this, as we'll find out today.Link to get Clive's new book, “Neurocopy”https://www.lulu.com/shop/clive-cable/neurocopy/paperback/product-w4qjdmn.html

This episode introduces equine neurobiology through the work of Dr. Stephen Peters, explaining core concepts like neurons, neurotransmitters, neuroplasticity, and how sensory processing affects learning and behavior.

Are you the “fixer”? The old soul? The one everyone confides in? If you've always felt responsible for other people's emotions… If chaos makes your nervous system light up… If you feel calmer giving care than receiving it… You might be a Wounded Healer. In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Mayim & Jonathan break down the psychology, neuroscience, and archetype of the Wounded Healer — the empath, therapist, caregiver, parent, or high achiever who learned early in life that being needed was safer than being loved. We explore: - The myth of Chiron and the origin of the “wounded healer” - How childhood trauma, alcoholism, chronic illness, or emotional unpredictability shape hypervigilance - Neuroscience of empathy, mirror neurons, & nervous system entrainment - Why highly sensitive people (HSPs) & empaths often burn out - Hidden link between codependency & overgiving - Why you attract people who “need fixing” - How to set boundaries without losing your superpower - How you can learn to "care without carrying” Plus...Mayim and Jonathan take the 10-question Wounded Healer Quiz! This isn't about shame. It's about awareness. Your ability to read micro-signals, anticipate needs, and feel what others feel before they say it can be a profound gift. But if you don't consciously harness it, it can lead to burnout, emotional exhaustion, and relationship imbalance. If you learned to be useful before you learned to be loved, this conversation is for you. You are allowed to help. You are allowed to heal. And you are also allowed to receive.

The word “trauma” is used so widely at present, arguably too widely. But it bespeaks a tenor of our shared reality. This episode is a journey inside what I've come to see as a parallel universe unfolding, where our species is unlocking knowledge about ourselves and capacities for radical healing of the most extreme trauma and distress. These findings are even giving rise to dramatic healing alliances across political and social lines that are inflamed in the culture at large.  At universities and research laboratories around the U.S. and world, there are countless clinical studies, yielding results it's hard not at times to call miraculous — for complex PTSD, long-term addiction, treatment-resistant depression. What I'm talking about are therapeutically-administered treatments with plant medicines and chemical compounds we call psychedelic or empathogenic. Use those words, and many of us — including me until not that long ago — might become wary. Like all forces of great power, these can cut in every direction — the dark and the light of the human condition. But the conversation you are about to hear, with one of the leading neuroscientists in this field, revolves around serious, important research in settings designed for careful, beneficial human effect. Gül Dölen's groundbreaking contribution to all of us is in her fascinating insight into what psychedelically-assisted therapies are revealing about the workings of the human brain and the brain's capacity to change and the human capacity for major transformation altogether. The potential consequences of this science are intimate and civilizational at once. I see them as a stunning ray of hope in a struggling world.

In this episode, Sathiya unpacks whether porn addiction is more like cocaine or alcohol — and explains why the answer is actually both. Drawing from neuroscience and personal experience, he breaks down how pornography hijacks the brain through rapid dopamine spikes (like cocaine) while also becoming a predictable emotional coping tool (like alcohol). He explains why minimizing porn leads to ineffective recovery strategies and why willpower alone fails. Because porn trains both the brain's reward system and emotional regulation system, recovery must intentionally retrain both.  Sathiya closes with practical steps: interrupt dopamine loops by optimizing technology, identify what porn has been providing emotionally, and pursue freedom in community rather than isolation.  

What if fundraising strategy started with the brain?

   This episode of WarDocs features Dr. David Tate, a clinical neuropsychologist and lead author of the 2025 Military Medicine Article of the Year. The discussion centers on a groundbreaking study utilizing the LIMBIC-CENC cohort—a massive data set of over 3,000 participants—to investigate persistent brain changes in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Dr. Tate explains that traditional MRI scans often show normal results in patients with invisible symptoms because researchers often oversimplify patient groupings. By digging into more refined clinical characteristics, such as the mechanism of injury and number of exposures, his team identified unique physical signatures in the brain. Specifically, blast exposures were linked to changes in central white matter, while repetitive traumatic hits impacted more peripheral gray matter structures.    The conversation highlights the critical importance of neuroimaging techniques like diffusion tensor imaging, which is more sensitive to structural white matter changes than standard hospital sequences. Dr. Tate emphasizes that these findings provide vital validation for service members and veterans, demonstrating that their ongoing symptoms are rooted in physical, biological changes rather than purely psychological or "imagined". For clinicians, the episode serves as a call to action to move beyond simplistic interpretations of "normal" imaging and to prioritize exhaustive injury histories that include the physics of every exposure event.    By combining a deep dive into advanced neuroimaging with a focus on personalized medicine, this episode provides a comprehensive look at the future of TBI diagnosis and treatment. Listeners will learn how high-resolution volumetric data and detailed clinical info—including loss of consciousness and post-traumatic amnesia markers—are used to improve prognostic accuracy. Ultimately, Dr. Tate's work demonstrates that injury history matters even years later, pointing researchers and clinicians toward a more precise approach to studying and treating the diverse landscape of mild traumatic brain injuries in the military population. Chapters (00:00-01:30) Introduction to the 2025 Military Medicine Article of the Year (01:30-06:17) Dr. David Tate's Professional Background and Career Evolution (06:17-08:04) Understanding the LIMBIC-CENC Cohort and Consortium Research (08:04-12:44) Methodology: Advanced Neuroimaging and Detailed Clinical Variables (12:44-17:03) Key Findings: Heterogeneity of mTBI and Mechanism-Specific Signatures (17:03-22:15) The Bottom Line: Validating Veteran Experiences and Clinical Takeaways Chapter Summaries (00:00-01:30) Introduction to the 2025 Military Medicine Article of the Year   MG(R) Jeff Clark introduces guest Dr. David Tate and recognizes his team for winning the 2025 Military Medicine Article of the Year. The article focuses on persistent MRI findings unique to blast and repetitive mild traumatic brain injury within the LIMBIC-CENC cohort. (01:30-06:17) Dr. David Tate's Professional Background and Career Evolution   Dr. Tate shares his journey from growing up on a farm in Mississippi to becoming a leading researcher in academic neuropsychology. He discusses his mentorship under Erin Bigler and his favorite career experiences working directly with service members at Brooke Army Medical Center. (06:17-08:04) Understanding the LIMBIC-CENC Cohort and Consortium Research   The discussion explores the advantages of using a large consortium dataset that includes over 3,000 participants across the United States. This prospective study enables leading scientists and clinicians to collaborate on well-characterized, long-term functional outcomes following brain injury. (08:04-12:44) Methodology: Advanced Neuroimaging and Detailed Clinical Variables Dr. Tate explains the use of high-resolution volumetric MRI data and diffusion tensor imaging to map brain structural connections. Researchers combined these images with a plethora of clinical data, including lifetime exposure histories, demographics, and specific injury markers like loss of consciousness. (12:44-17:03) Key Findings: Heterogeneity of mTBI and Mechanism-Specific Signatures The study reveals that mild TBI is extremely heterogeneous and simplistic group comparisons often obscure meaningful findings. Findings showed that blast exposures leave signatures in central white matter, while repetitive traumatic injuries more specifically affect gray matter structures. (17:03-22:15) The Bottom Line: Validating Veteran Experiences and Clinical Takeaways The bottom line is that persistent brain changes can be detected if clinicians look at the right variables and mechanism of injury. This research validates the lived experiences of veterans, proving their symptoms are not imagined and emphasizing the need for detailed injury histories. Article Reference Persistent MRI Findings Unique to Blast and Repetitive Mild TBI: Analysis of the CENC/LIMBIC Cohort Injury Characteristics Open Access David F Tate, PhD , Benjamin S C Wade, PhD , Carmen S Velez, MS ,  Erin D Bigler, PhD , Nicholas D Davenport, PhD , Emily L Dennis, PhD ,  Carrie Esopenko, PhD , Sidney R Hinds, MD , Jacob Kean, PhD , Eamonn Kennedy, PhD  Military Medicine, Volume 189, Issue 9-10, September/October 2024, Pages e1938–e1946, https://doi.org/10.1093/milmed/usae031   Take Home Messages Heterogeneity of Mild TBI: Mild traumatic brain injury is not a single, uniform condition, and simplistic groupings can obscure meaningful characteristics of an injury. Clinicians must recognize that "if you've seen one mild TBI, you've seen one mild TBI," requiring a more personalized approach to diagnosis. Mechanism-Specific Signatures: The physical signature left on the brain depends heavily on the mechanism of injury, with blast exposures typically affecting central white matter and repetitive traumatic hits impacting peripheral gray matter. Understanding these distinctions helps explain why different patients experience different functional outcomes even with the same diagnosis. Sensitivity of Advanced Neuroimaging: Standard MRI sequences often fail to detect injuries in mTBI patients, but advanced techniques like diffusion tensor imaging are highly sensitive to structural white matter changes. Relying solely on basic imaging can lead to an over-simplistic interpretation that overlooks persistent brain changes. Validation of Lived Experiences: Research into persistent brain changes provides vital biological validation for veterans and service members who struggle with ongoing symptoms. These findings support the idea that invisible wounds have a physical basis and are not simply psychological or imagined. Importance of Detailed Injury Histories: For clinicians, the most critical takeaway is the necessity of capturing a detailed lifetime injury history, including the number of exposures and specific physics of each event. This detailed clinical information is essential for improving prognostic accuracy and understanding a patient's long-term health trajectory.   Episode Keywords Military Medicine, WarDocs Podcast, Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI Diagnosis, Blast Exposure, Neuropsychology, Persistent MRI Findings, Veteran Healthcare, Brain Imaging, Mild TBI, LIMBIC-CENC Cohort, Neuroimaging Research, AMSUS, Combat Injury, White Matter Change, Brain Health, Dr. David Tate, Military Health System, Invisible Injuries, Medical Podcast, Concussion Recovery, Gray Matter, MRI Scans, AMSUS Article of the Year, Veteran Support, Brain Mapping Hashtags #MilitaryMedicine, #WarDocs, #BrainHealth, #Veterans, #Neuroscience, #MildTBI, #BlastInjury, #MedicalResearch   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

The new semi-autobiographical play “The Reservoir” spins a comedic narrative around cognitive reserve, the idea that doing brain-stimulating activities can prevent or delay the onset of dementia symptoms. It's currently running at the Atlantic Theater Company and co-produced by The Ensemble Studio Theater in New York.*  Host Ira Flatow talks with playwright Jake Brasch about his inspiration for the play and how to mesh science into the theater.  Then, neurologist Marilyn Albert discusses some of the latest science of mental stimulation and dementia. After following a diverse group of older adults for 20 years, her research found that a modest amount of specialized cognitive training reduced dementia risk by 25%. You can try a very similar brain training exercise at home.  *“The Reservoir” received funding from the Sloan Foundation, which also helps support Science Friday. Guests: Jake Brasch is a writer, performer, composer, clown, and writer of the new play “The Reservoir.”  Dr. Marilyn Albert is a professor of neurology and director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Johns Hopkins Medicine.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
