Different Types of Dopamine Neurons with Professor Rajesh and Daniel

lundi 18 mars 2024Duration 53:04


Listen to learn about how dopamine neurons aren’t all the same, some neurons use dopamine to reduce negative behaviours, to increase or nothing at all. I’ll be talking to to Professor  Danielle who loves everything to do with navigation and Rajeshwar who is more of a dopamine specialist.

Looking for Dementia in the Blood with Dr Keenan Walker

vendredi 20 octobre 2023Duration 01:06:22

This was a brilliant episode as I have long been looking into the research into a diagnostic test for Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia in general. I for a long time for a paper on diagnostic markers for Alzheimer’s Disease and demetnai in general because it is one of the roadblocks to help us understand and eventually cure these diseases. We still cannot diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease and most dementia’s until 15-20 years into the disease. And this paper is a big step forward looking at over 5000 proteins in the blood. So listen in to find out more.

How Neurons Know Where To Go With Dr Titas Sengupta

Episode 13

mercredi 23 mars 2022Duration 52:28

Episode Description

This episode is with Dr Titas is looking at retrograde zippering which is another way that neurons are able to correctly grow towards their correct final destination. What exactly does this system involve and how does this work? Listen in to learn all about it and we also explore why the C.elegans is a good model for neuroscience research- depending on the question you are asking.

I am also looking for individuals who would be interested in contributing to the blog. It would involve posts about the recent neuroscience that has been published preferably that week. You would try to explain the science in an easy to understand manner and would also want to delve into the significance of the findings. If this is something that interests you I would delighted to hear from you – please join the Brain Explained LinkedIn Contributors Page.

Tangled Blood Vessels With Dr Ethan Winkler

Episode 12

mardi 22 février 2022Duration 50:07

Listen in to learn more about arteriovenous malformations (AVM) a condition that leads to tangled blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord. This increases an individual’s likelihood of stroke. This week we will be exploring research that profiled the cells the blood vessels to find what changes occurred in these cells compared to normal samples. listen in to find out about this amazing research that could have wide-ranging implications.

Dopamine, Active Sensing and Blood Flow with Professor David Kleinfield

Episode 7

mardi 26 octobre 2021Duration 54:51

I’m back on track. Here is the next episode. In this episode we explore dopamine signalling in the brain. Why? Because dopamine is the main signalling compound in your brain for reward. So eat a bar of chocolate, get a new job, pass your exams and you get a dose of dopamine. But the research by Professor David Kleinfield is even more important because it shows that mice can control their release of dopamine, which might explain why we can do things that to others seem strange such as climbing mountains. That isn’t all, listen in to learn about his other research around the role of the vasculature in the brain and how senses work.

Brain microvasculature has a common topology with local differences in geometry that match metabolic load.

Neurospirituality with Professor Michael Fergurson

Episode 6

jeudi 16 septembre 2021Duration 01:04:25

 Episode 6 will be looking at  the brain regions involved in spirituality and Religiosity which is another word for religion. Therefore, I am extremely grateful to give you this unique episode. This episode will be of interest as over 90% of percent of people have some sort of spiritual practice and the other 10% will want to know how the brain is linked to spirituality and religion and what it means. Not only is this research interesting but it can help people make electrical stimulation therapy which is becoming even more common to reach the forefront.
