Miniature human brains grown in a Saskatoon lab are upending the way researchers see neurology and immunology. Neuroscientist Dr. Tyler Wenzel is using brain organoids to challenge decades of rodent-based research, charting a new course for precision medicine.   As a high school biology teacher, Wenzel's students learned how hearts pump blood and lungs move air. But apart from neurological electrical activity, neither Wenzel nor the textbooks had many clear answers about the brain.   During his graduate studies, Wenzel realized the same experimental question tended to produce opposite results for mice and humans. The key difference, he found, lay in how each species' responded to toxins and injury,  leaving him skeptical of neurological therapies tested on rodents. Now an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Saskatchewan, Wenzel focuses on youth degenerative brain disease and the limits of traditional research models.   He grows human brain organoids — "mini brains" — from pluripotent stem cells derived from sources like blood or skin. Measuring two millimetres apiece, those organoids resemble tiny blobs of chewing gum. "We will turn [cells from a patient] into pluripotent stem cells, and we will make their mini brain, and because it has their genetic information, we get a brain that has their pathology," Wenzel said.  "If you do that same mutation, often in a mouse, the pathology won't appear. So it allows us to actually get a pathology we can actually study," he said.   When Wenzel was first hired at the University of Saskatchewan in 2024, the budget-conscious researcher built his lab on a shoestring, picking up secondhand centrifuges, balances, fridges and freezers from industrial start-ups. That move saved him time, and hundreds of thousands of dollars.  "All the money that we started off with, it is literally going to just the research team and directly to the research," Wenzel said, crediting NSERC and SHRF for their support. "I am so grateful."   Today, Wenzel studies childhood cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a rare degenerative brain disease that strikes children, and is fatal when left untreated. His organoids may provide proof of concept for new ways to target the brain and nervous system, without the need for radiation, chemotherapy, and lifelong immunosuppresant drugs currently required for hematopoietic stem cell transplants.  "Chemotherapy and irradiation makes holes throughout your whole body. So we can do it in just your brain, just your spinal cord, and then we can inject the immune cells specifically into those locations," Wenzel said. "That eliminates many of the things that make chemotherapy uncomfortable, many of the things that make any sort of stem cell transplant uncomfortable."   This spring, Canada's Stem Cell Network singled out Wenzel's work with a Rising Star Award, saying his work demonstrates "leadership, creativity and potential for major impact". If his method shows promise in treating ALD, Wenzel's approach could pave the way for more targeted, effective and far less invasive treatments for a range of degenerative brain diseases.

Our brain is a bioelectric organ. And the frequency of our thoughts and the extent of our stimulation is as serious as life and death. Living too often in 90 hz, that's a life of addiction. But by using neurohacks and the data from brain EEG we can all learn to chase 10 hz and live a life of flow and peak performance. And nobody has done more to champion, and importantly simplify, this paradigm than my guest today Dr Izzy.Dr. Izzy Justice is a Sports Neuroscientist who has authored 8 books over the course of 30 years on the topic of Emotional Intelligence. He was the first to integrate EQ into sports and athletic performance. He has trained and certified over 300 coaches in EQ in a wide array of sports disciplines worldwide. He has worked with athletes, coaches, and teams in NASCAR, Tennis, Soccer, Golf, Lacrosse, Basketball, Triathlon, NFL, MLB, Olympians, and many collegiate level programs.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects millions of individuals. While ADHD commonly develops in childhood, it can continue or first occur in adulthood. An ADHD diagnosis need not impede your ability to thrive personally and professionally. Many doctors, executives, entrepreneurs and leaders are succeeding outwardly but may be quietly struggling behind the scenes with ADHD, notes neuroscientist, Dr. Jennie Byrne, MD, PhD, author of "ADHD in Professionals: Embracing Your Brain."Fearless Fabulous You is broadcast live Wednesdays at 12 Noon ET on W4WN Radio - Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).  Fearless Fabulous You Podcast is also available on Talk 4 Media (www.talk4media.com), Talk 4 Podcasting (www.talk4podcasting.com), iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Audible, and over 100 other podcast outlets.

Your brain is aging faster than it should, and most of the decline is self-inflicted. Neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood reveals the exact mechanisms driving cognitive decay, and the biohacking strategies backed by hard science that can stop it, reverse it, and future-proof your brain at any age. -Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Tommy Wood, one of the most credentialed minds working at the intersection of brain optimization, human performance, and longevity. Dr. Wood holds a medical degree from the University of Oxford, a PhD in physiology and neuroscience from the University of Oslo, and serves as Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He has published over 100 scientific papers, consulted with Olympians and world champions across more than a dozen sports, and worked directly with Formula 1 drivers to sustain elite focus and reaction time at 200 miles per hour. His forthcoming book, The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age, is the culmination of decades of research and real-world application. Together, Dave and Dr. Wood dismantle the myth that cognitive decline is inevitable, exposing how societal expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies and how the tools of biohacking, including sleep optimization, neuroplasticity training, nootropics, supplements, and strategic exercise, can dramatically shift your brain's long-term trajectory. They dig into the 3S Model of brain health (Stimulus, Supply, Support), the Yerkes-Dodson arousal curve and what it means for focus and flow states, and the surprising truth about AI, boredom, and what actually happens to your brain when you let ChatGPT do your thinking for you. This episode is essential listening for anyone serious about anti-aging, brain optimization, functional medicine, metabolism, human performance, and getting smarter without working harder. You'll Learn: Why cognitive decline is largely a self-fulfilling prophecy driven by expectation, not biology How the 3S Model (Stimulus, Supply, Support) determines your brain's long-term health and resilience What Formula 1 drivers teach us about arousal, flow states, and peak cognitive performance Why high-intensity interval training produces dramatically greater neuroplasticity benefits than Zone 2 cardio alone How creatine, nicotine, nootropics, and other supplements actually affect the aging brain The real data on alcohol, dementia risk, and what "occasional drinking" actually means scientifically How to use AI tools like ChatGPT in a way that builds brain function instead of destroying it Why boredom is a neurological necessity and how chronic low-level stimulation is quietly eroding your cognition What mitochondria and lactate signaling have to do with BDNF and long-term memory How resistance training, coordinative movement, and blood flow restriction each deliver separate and distinct cognitive benefits Thank you to our sponsors! - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.comand use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - Suppgrade Labs | Grab your DAKE and Minerals 101 duo at shopsuppgradelabs.com and use code DAVEPOD for 15% off today Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Have you ever wondered why an unanswered text can send you into a spiral? Or why you keep having the same fight with your partner over and over again? It might be your attachment style. And the good news is, you can actually rewire your brain to feel more secure in your relationships. My guest today is Dr. Amir Levine, psychiatrist, molecular neuroscientist, and the bestselling author of Attached. He's back with a brand new book called Secure, where he shares how the small, everyday moments of connection can change your brain on a molecular level. Some of the things we discuss in this episode are: Why you can be securely attached to one person in your life and anxiously attached to another — and what that reveals about you. The "cyberball effect" and the surprising reason your brain reacts to being left off a group text the same way it reacts to physical pain. The shocking experiment that proved exclusion hurts even when the people excluding you aren't good people. The 5 pillars of a secure connection — and the simple acronym (CARP) you can use to evaluate every relationship in your life. Why even a nod from a stranger in an elevator matters more to your brain than you think. The "CARP intervention" — what to do when someone in your life isn't showing up for you. Why you don't need years of therapy or a massive breakthrough to become more secure. The fascinating science of why some people are wired for closeness and others aren't — and what a microscopic worm can teach us about it. How to "reshuffle your social media" (the people in your life, not the apps) to create a secure bubble around yourself. The reason recalling childhood memories in a secure environment can actually edit those memories — and heal them. If you've ever felt like you're too needy, too distant, or just bad at relationships, this conversation will change how you think about connection — and give you the tools to start feeling more secure today.

  The brain is the central driver of our thoughts, memories, relationships, and ability to love, and it's far more resilient than once believed. Neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood, author of the book, The Stimulated Mind, explains that while genetics can influence the risk of cognitive decline, nearly half of dementia cases may be preventable through lifestyle choices like physical activity, good nutrition, quality sleep, mental stimulation, and social connection. Everyday forgetfulness is usually due to stress, distraction, or lack of sleep—not early dementia—but it can serve as a signal to improve habits. Maintaining brain health requires balancing challenge and recovery: engaging in meaningful, mentally demanding activities while allowing time for rest. Ultimately, staying mentally sharp depends less on fate and more on consistently using and caring for the brain through purposeful, active living.

Dr. Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist, physician, associate professor at the University of Washington, and the author of “The Stimulated Mind.” I came into this one with a lot on my mind. My mother has Alzheimer's, and for two years I've been watching this disease dismantle someone I love. What Tommy gave me was something I didn't expect: not more cause for fear, but a genuine roadmap. Cognitive decline is not inevitable. The levers of change are already in our hands. This one is personal. I hope it lands that way for you, too. Show notes + MORE Watch on YouTube Newsletter Sign-Up Today's Sponsors: LMNT: Get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase

Neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood breaks down what it actually takes to keep your brain sharp as you age. Drawing from his new book The Stimulated Mind, Tommy makes the case that movement is non-negotiable for brain health — and that even small amounts make a meaningful difference. From walking and resistance training to dancing and pickleball, different types of exercise protect different parts of the brain in ways that compound over time. The bottom line? You don't need a perfect plan. You just need to start.

Are classroom screens really helping children learn—or quietly working against how their brains develop?In this episode, neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath joins us to discuss his new book The Digital Delusion and what the science actually says about technology in the classroom.For years, schools have been told that more technology means better learning. But many of the ideas that built the EdTech movement—like “multimedia enhances learning,” “kids learn best on their own,” and “AI tutors can replace teachers”—were never strongly supported by evidence.Dr. Horvath explains what the data actually shows about classroom technology, including the surprising cognitive tradeoffs of 1:1 devices, why handwriting and reading on paper still outperform screens for deep learning, and why the brain struggles with multitasking and constant digital interruptions.We also explore the three biological drivers of learning—attention, empathy, and transfer—and why screens often disrupt all three.Perhaps most importantly, we discuss developmental timing. Children's brains are highly sensitive to environmental input, and heavy exposure to screen-based stimulation can shape reward pathways, condition dopamine systems, and increase vulnerability to compulsive screen use later in life.Is it really possible to “moderate” highly stimulating screen activities? And what should parents do in a world where technology seems unavoidable?If you've ever wondered whether all this classroom technology is truly helping your child—or quietly making learning harder—this conversation will give you the science, the context, and the reassurance parents need.Because the goal of education isn't just to use technology. It's to help children learn deeply and prepare for life beyond the screen.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

We are in the information age and I don't believe there are any new topics and there is little, actual new information. But we can discover new insights and new angles and information that is more relevant for the current culture. And sometimes I just interest myself in an individual and their role within a topic and I want to hear their take on it. So with that said, in this episode I'm with Dr. Majid Fotuhi. Harper Collins, one of the world's big five publishers sent me a galley copy, which is a pre-copy before the book is actually published, of Majid's new book, “The Invincible Brain: The Clinically Proven Plan To Age-Proof Your Brain And Stay Sharp For Life.” I am very interested in brain health. I want to be cognitively sharp and able until my last breath. And I was interested in Majid's background. He  earned his PhD in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University and then his Medical Degree from Harvard Medical School, two institutions I greatly respect. Majid is currently an adjunct professor at the Mind/Brain Institute at Johns Hopkins University, while also teaching at George Washington University and Harvard Medical School. With 37 years of experience in teaching, clinical practice, and neuroscience research, Majid is a pioneer in enhancing brain vitality and cognitive performance and he developed a “Brain Fitness Program” that targets lifestyle optimization and cognitive stimulation to improve memory, focus, and overall brain health. The program has delivered measurable success for patients dealing with memory loss due to aging, concussions, and ADHD.  Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial Learn more about your ad choices.

None of this is normal. What we are experiencing in America right now is incredibly distressing, and it's making most of us feel totally out of sorts. As a neuroscientist, Dr. Migliore acknowledges the noise, chaos, and constant stress surrounding us is overwhelming, and our nervous system systems were simply not built for a world like this.

Today, we're asking how we can boost our brain. Our brain is a living, morphing organ that is constantly responding to the stimuli we feed it. So the big question is: what sort of stimuli will keep our brain strong and healthy? Is it brain puzzles? Supplements? Neuroscientist Dr. Wendy Suzuki believes the most powerful way to support your brain is by simply moving your body. She's joining me today to explain why.

"It's our birthright to be deeply connected to our babies and to grow from it." - Dr. KirshenbaumWhat if the most important thing you could do for your baby's brain… isn't something you buy, schedule, or optimize — but in the way you nurture & feel?This week, I sit down with Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum — neuroscientist, author of The Nurture Revolution, and former doula — to talk about what modern neuroscience says about pregnancy, birth, infant sleep, and the first three years of life. We talk about how your emotional experiences during pregnancy shape your baby's brain, why nurture is not “soft” but biologically essential, and what moms really need to know about stress, bonding, sleep training, and early brain development.If you've ever worried about doing enough, getting it right, or messing up your baby, you're going to love this discussion and I hope more than anything, it puts your mind at ease. I feel like I cannot say this enough, but YOU are the perfect mother for your baby AND you're doing better than you think you are!Here's some highlights from the episode: • How pregnancy experiences shape your baby's brain before birth • The neuroscience behind what doulas do in the birth and postpartum space • Why the first 0–3 years are the most critical window for emotional and mental health • What “nurture” really means from a brain-based perspective • Dr. Kirshenbaum's views on infant sleep and why she questions sleep training • What's considered normal for baby sleep around the world • How mothers can regulate stress — for themselves and their babies • Why soothing your baby also soothes your own nervous system • What happens if early nurture wasn't ideal (and why there's still so much hope) • The core message of The Nurture Revolution and how it supports modern motherhoodThis episode is a beautiful reminder that you don't have to be perfect to raise a healthy, secure, thriving baby. If you're pregnant, postpartum, or even just thinking about motherhood, this conversation will leave you feeling calmer, more confident, and deeply validated in the most important role you'll ever have.

Sleep isn't optional, and it's not a luxury for “when life slows down.”In this episode of The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast, we sit down with neuroscientist and sleep researcher Dr. Chelsie Rohrscheib to unpack what actually happens in your brain and body when sleep gets pushed to the bottom of the priority list.We talk about why chronic exhaustion shows up as anxiety, brain fog, stalled weight loss, mood swings, and burnout, and why so many women are misdiagnosed or completely dismissed when the real issue is sleep quality.This conversation goes far beyond “get more rest.” We break down:How quickly sleep deprivation affects cognition and emotional regulationWhy REM and deep sleep are essential (and why your wearable isn't gospel)The myth of “functioning fine” on 4 hours of sleepHow exercise timing, cortisol, and nutrition directly impact sleepWhy crash dieting and poor sleep sabotage metabolismThe alarming link between sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, cancer risk, and dementiaWhy sleep apnea is wildly underdiagnosed in women and childrenWhat to do if you're afraid of CPAPs (and why delaying treatment is far riskier)Perimenopause, night sweats, insomnia, and what actually helpsIf you've ever told yourself: “This is just how I am now”, or…”I'll sleep when things calm down”, this episode will change how you think about sleep forever.Dr. Chelsie Rohrscheib's Links: Wesper.co and email: chelsie@wesper.co(00:00:00) Introducing Dr. Chelsie Rohrscheib(00:03:13) Why we spend a third of our life asleep and signs to look for(00:07:58) How fast sleep deprivation affects the brain(00:13:30) Genetics and the 4 hr sleep club myth  (00:21:10) Wearables and deep sleep vs REM: what actually matters(00:29:12) Exercise timing, cortisol, and insomnia(00:34:45) Nutrition, blood sugar crashes, and waking up starving(00:40:48) Diet culture, sleep loss, and stalled metabolism(00:47:33) Sleep apnea: what's happening in your brain(00:57:29) Tips, tricks and treatment options beyond CPAPs(01:05:22) Rapid-fire sleep myths and advice(01:13:00) Where to find Dr. RohrscheibWant to leave the TTSL Podcast a voicemail?

What if neurodivergence, intuition, and psychic ability are all connected, and we've been misunderstanding them this entire time? In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Julia Mossbridge—cognitive neuroscientist, author of Have a Nice Disclosure!, and Human Potential Research Lead for The Telepathy Tapes—returns to the studio to pull back the curtain on the brain, consciousness, and humanity's untapped abilities. Dr. Mossbridge reveals what neurodivergence actually looks like in the brain (and why individual lived experience matters more than labels), her groundbreaking view that there's no true distinction between unconscious processing of local information and non-local information, why information is not the same as matter or energy (and why that changes everything), and what kinds of information we can access non-locally through remote viewing. She also breaks down: - Tips anyone can use to strengthen intuition, psychic perception, and precognition - Why nonspeakers may lead the next love revolution, and what their abilities are teaching us about consciousness - How to safely explore non-local awareness without losing grounding - Hidden positives & real drawbacks of diagnostic labels (and how they can both empower and limit us) - Cognitive drain we're all experiencing from modern society, and why so many people feel chronically overwhelmed - Why most people don't understand how they operate until they revisit their childhood and caregiver relationships - How identifying your special abilities offers the clearest window into your internal world - Brain-based factors that affect our ability to filter environmental and non-local input - True definition of unconditional love—and why it's a functional state, not a feeling Dr. Julia also opens up about deeply mysterious chapters of her life, including: - Her experiences in a gifted childhood program she believes she doesn't fully remember - Possible ulterior motives of the program's administrators - Potential ties to research on radiation exposure and radio waves - What it's been like to publicly acknowledge extrasensory abilities as a respected academic - When she first realized she had psychic abilities, and how those abilities evolved over time PLUS...Julia guides Mayim through a live remote viewing exercise, demonstrating how unconditional love can be used as a signal to access information from the future, in real time.

We all know the importance of a good diet, sufficient exercise and a good night's sleep, but there's one more essential thing we all need to be healthy. Social connection.  Simply put, our brains need friends.  Neuroscientist Dr. Ben Rein reveals exactly what is happening in our brains when we interact with friends, family, even strangers, and how exactly this affects our physical and mental health… the many benefits of a good social life and the real risks of isolation and loneliness .   He also offers simple tips on how we can be more social and to make better use of one of the most powerful, easiest, and cheapest ways to a healthy, happy life.  (Hint: Next time you think you are too busy to call or text that friend…pick up the phone and connect).  For more information, transcripts, and all episodes, please visit https://thisisyourbrain.com   For more about Weill Cornell Medicine Neurological Surgery, please visit https://neurosurgery.weillcornell.org 

  The Myth of Anxiety with Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast 223, Season 23, Episode 0002 Episode 2 – The Anxiety Myth Part II: Power, Identity & the Business of Fear In this episode, the investigation deepens. Carlton King and Dr. Rachel Taylor explore how power structures—from governments to global tech platforms—exploit anxiety to shape behaviour, control populations and drive profit. If fear is currency, who are the brokers? Why do modern societies appear more anxious despite unprecedented comfort and safety? Is the rise in anxiety actually a symptom of social fragmentation, digital overstimulation and identity disruption rather than individual pathology? And what role does race, class and lived experience play in how anxiety is labelled, treated or ignored? Carlton draws on decades in state security to examine how fear is manufactured, manipulated and monetised. Dr. Taylor challenges the neurological oversimplifications used to justify a multi-billion-pound mental-health economy. Together, they ask whether anxiety is being systematically weaponised against the public. If anxiety is an evolutionary alarm system, what happens when it is hijacked? More importantly—can we reclaim it? This episode confronts one unsettling truth: perhaps anxiety isn't a personal failure, but a rational response to an irrational world.

The Myth of Anxiety with Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 1)  The Black Spy Podcast 222, Season 23, Episode 0002 Episode 1 – The Anxiety Myth: What If Everything We Think We Know Is Wrong? Is anxiety really a mental health crisis—or have we misunderstood the entire phenomenon? In this week's Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King and Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor dismantle the assumptions, narratives and commercial interests shaping our modern understanding of anxiety. Why are anxiety diagnoses skyrocketing in the West while resilience appears to be collapsing? Has society medicalised normal human emotion to the point where stress, fear and discomfort are now rebranded as pathology? Dr. Taylor brings cutting-edge neuroscience to the table, challenging listeners to rethink the brain's threat systems, the role of trauma, and the possibility that anxiety may not be a "disorder" at all but a misinterpreted survival mechanism. Carlton interrogates the political, economic and cultural drivers behind the anxiety industry: who benefits from defining millions as "unwell"? Is the modern world genuinely more dangerous, or have we simply lost the tools to cope? And crucially—if anxiety is not what we've been told—what does that mean for treatment, medication and human agency? This episode asks one radical question: What if anxiety isn't the enemy—but the message?

Are Your Memories Lying to You? Neuroscientist Dr. Nikolay Kukushkin—NYU clinical associate professor, research fellow, and author of One Hand Clapping—joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to BREAK OPEN everything we thought we knew about memory, consciousness, evolution, and the future of humanity. Dr. Kukushkin might be the first to scientifically prove that “the body keeps the score," and he's here to share his groundbreaking research revealing that every cell in the body may have the potential to store memory. What this means for trauma, healing, and everyday life will blow your mind! We explore how human memory evolved, why we remember the way we do, and the hidden purpose memory plays in meaning-making, identity, and human experience. You'll learn how memory is stored, changed, and distorted, why memory is NOT reality, what makes the human experience truly special, and what sea slugs can teach us about being human. We also discuss whether it's more accurate (or useful) to view reality through a materialist vs spiritual lens, how natural selection is far more creative and intelligent than we ever imagined, and whether Artificial Intelligence is humanity's evolutionary path. Dr. Kukushkin reveals what we've been getting wrong about dopamine: its real evolutionary purpose, how to harness this new science to boost motivation, productivity, and well-being, and why social media “dopamine hits” are so addictive - and so damaging. Dr. Kukushkin also breaks down: - Overlooked implications of being a carbon-based species - Sinister effects of sleep deprivation - Can the human brain ever reach its memory capacity? - What happens when we're downloading too much information from our environment - What happens when we outsource our language abilities to technology? - What are the consequences of forming human-like emotional connections with chatbots? - Is there hope that we will return to using our brain's full cognitive power? PLUS...the spiritual experiences technology can never replicate, and why real life will always give us what machines can't!

What if your brain's health in retirement depended as much on who you see as on what you eat or how you move? Neuroscientist Dr. Ben Rein, author of  the new book Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection, joins us to reveal how social connection shapes your brain. He explains why isolation is as toxic as chronic stress, how friendship fuels brain resilience, and why your dog might be one of your best wellness allies. In this e, ye-opening conversation, you'll learn how staying socially engaged literally protects your brain from decline, the science behind “nature's medicine” — oxytocin — and practical ways to rewire your social habits for longevity, joy, and emotional well-being. If you've ever wondered why friendships matter more than ever in retirement, this episode will change the way you think about your brain — and your calendar. You'll learn: Why social interaction is a fundamental pillar of brain health, as critical as sleep and nutrition - and what happens when we don't get enough of it The invisible pattern of retirement isolation: how time spent alone steadily increases while connections with coworkers, friends, and family decline simultaneously Why text-based communication doesn't satisfy your brain's need for connection (and what to do instead to restore the social cues your brain craves) The surprising neuroscience behind why dogs are so good for us—and how they activate the same brain reward systems as human connection Two scientifically-proven exercises you can start today to train your empathy and strengthen the brain regions associated with compassion and social connection Ben Rein joins us from Buffalo, New York. ____________________________ Bio Ben Rein, PhD, is an award-winning neuroscientist, chief science officer of the Mind Science Foundation, adjunct lecturer at Stanford University, clinical assistant professor at SUNY Buffalo, and a renowned science educator.

In this episode review (Season 14, Ep. 372), Andrea revisits interviews with Dr. Dan Siegel to explore Mindsight—the focused attention that helps us see and reshape our own minds and connect with others. She breaks down how Mindsight underpins social and emotional intelligence and offers practical ways to develop it, including theory-of-mind practice, the Wheel of Awareness, and daily narrative reading. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD  and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ A deeper definition of Mindsight or seeing the mind in another Mindsight, a term coined by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, is the ability to perceive the mind within ourselves and others. It goes beyond simply observing behavior; it's about sensing thoughts, feelings, intentions, and perspectives that aren't immediately visible. This skill allows us to look beneath the surface of words and actions, to “see” the mind behind them, which leads to deeper empathy, better relationships, and stronger social intelligence. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others. In simple terms, it's recognizing that other people have thoughts and feelings that may be different from our own. This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others.

This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ Practical tips to improve our Mindsight or Theory of Mind abilities Pause and Reflect – Before reacting, ask yourself: What might this person be thinking or feeling right now? Name Emotions – Practice labeling your own emotions and noticing them in others (“I feel frustrated” → “They might be anxious”). Perspective-Taking Exercises – Put yourself in someone else's shoes: If I were in their position, what would I be experiencing? Read Fiction Regularly – Choose stories with complex characters and notice how your mind tracks their thoughts and motives. Practice Curiosity in Conversations – Instead of assuming, ask open-ended questions to better understand another's perspective. Mindfulness Training – Strengthen your awareness of your inner world, which improves your ability to tune into the inner world of others. The episode also emphasizes the importance of face-to-face relationships for learning and development, contrasts relational learning with screen-based approaches, and provides actionable tips educators and listeners can use to strengthen empathy, self-awareness, and relational skills. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Which brings up to today's episode #372, where we will take Dr. Dan Siegel's concept of Mindsight, to the next level. On our last EP 371 with Dan Siegel, PART 1 of our review of a very early interview EP 28[i], recorded in November 2019, we covered the importance of: Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.” Mindsight is a concept Dr. Siegel felt to be critical for us to develop noting this skill to be “the basis for social and emotional development.” He notes, that it's a teachable set of skills that we can teach in school, and once mastered is a truly transformational tool.  In his book, Mindsight he explains this concept further: “Mindsight is a kind of focused attention that allows us to see the internal workings of our own minds. (and we've been talking about how important it is to go within, for true change in our lives to occur). It helps us to be aware of our mental processes without being swept away by them, (which) enables us to get ourselves off the autopilot of ingrained behaviors and habitual responses, and moves us beyond the reactive emotional loops we all have a tendency to get trapped in. It lets us “name and tame” the emotions we are experiencing, rather than being overwhelmed by them. Consider the difference between saying “I am sad” and “I feel sad.” Similar as those two statements may seem, there is actually a profound difference between them. “I am sad” is a kind of self-definition, and a very limiting one. “I feel sad” suggests the ability to recognize and acknowledge a feeling, without being consumed by it. The focusing skills that are part of mindsight make it possible to see what is inside, to accept it, and in the accepting to let it go, and, finally, to transform it into a NEW reality. You can also think of mindsight as a very special lens that gives us the capacity to perceive the mind with greater clarity than ever before. This lens is something that virtually everyone can develop, and once we have it we can dive deeply into the mental sea inside, exploring our own inner lives and those of others. A uniquely human ability, mindsight allows us to examine closely, in detail and in depth, the processes by which we think, feel, and behave. And it allows us to reshape and redirect our inner experiences so that we have more freedom of choice in our everyday actions, (giving us) more power to create the future, to become the author of our own story. Another way to put it is that mindsight is the basic skill that underlies everything we mean when we speak of having social and emotional intelligence.” (Dr. Daniel J Siegel, Mindsight, Location 105, Kindle Edition).

Send us a textWhat if you could understand the science behind why your teenager seems impossible, why habits are so hard to break, or why menopause affects your thinking? Dr. Sarah Mackay, an Oxford-trained neuroscientist and founder of the Neuroscience Academy, joins us to demystify the complex world of the brain with warmth, wit, and scientific precision.This conversation upends common misconceptions about brain development while offering practical insights for everyday life. Dr. Mackay takes us on a journey through neuroplasticity—the brain's remarkable ability to change throughout life—explaining how this process underpins everything from habit formation to teenage rebellion. She shares evidence-based strategies for behavior change that work with your brain's natural tendencies rather than against them, like "habit stacking" to make new behaviors stick.We explore fascinating research on sex differences in the brain, revealing how both biology and social factors shape cognitive development across cultures. Dr. Mackay offers a refreshingly balanced perspective on "brain fog" during menopause, acknowledging the complex interplay between hormones, sleep, stress, and societal expectations. Perhaps most valuably, she emphasizes the profound importance of social connection for cognitive health, suggesting that meaningful relationships might matter more than trendy biohacks or optimization techniques.Throughout our discussion, Dr. Mackay's compassionate approach to aging and body image resonates deeply. Her insight that "there are no mirrors in nature" provides a powerful reframing of how we view ourselves as we age. Whether you're navigating parenthood, midlife transitions, or simply curious about how your mind works, this episode offers both scientific substance and genuine wisdom about embracing the brain's natural evolution through all life stages.Dr. Sarah McKay links:IG: @drsarahmckayX: @drsarahmmckaywebsite: https://drsarahmckay.comTweet me @realdrhamrahIG @drhamrah
