Mary-Frances O’Connor (Click to play interview or Right click to download audio.)
The neuroscience of grief and grieving is a relatively new field, but one that offers practical discoveries for people of all backgrounds. This month we talk with Mary-Frances O’Connor, author of The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss.We talk about what has been learned from a variety of approaches, including both brain imaging and, surprisingly even from animal studies. We learn why it is so hard for our brains to accept the loss of a loved one and this work of...

BS 193 What doe it mean to say "the Mind is Embodied?"
Join Dr. Campbell for her induction into the Podcast Hall of Fame on March 25 2022
In this month's episode of Brain Science I explore two big picture questions: What does it mean to claim that the Mind is "embodied?" and How does this change our understanding of our place in the world? The conversation was inspired by the book Out of the Cave: A Natural Philosophy of Mind and Knowing by Mark L Johnson and Donald M Tucker.This episode builds on several previous discussions of "embodied cognition" so it might be challenging to newer listeners. I have included a list of these earlier episod...

Life Support - Being a compassionate colleague
In this episode of Doctor Informed, Clara Munro is joined by Ayisha Ashmore - and they're getting to grips with being a compassionate colleague.
While the topic might seem warm and fuzzy, there's some good hard science to suggest that compassionate leadership at every level of healthcare can make a huge difference to staff, and improve patient outcomes.
Most people innately have the skills need to be compassionate colleagues - but often the pressures of the job can make it the lowest of priorities in our everyday interactions.
Our two guests this week think that's wrong though - and say that compassionate leadership i...

Long time readers of this blog will know that I am enamored by psychology, especially that, which can be put to practical use.

Antonio Damasio on "Feeing & Knowing" (BS 189)
Neurologist and best-selling author Antonio Damasio is one of our most requested guests. This month we finally had the opportunity to talk about his newest book Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious, which he explained is somewhat different from his previous efforts. His goal was to write something "briefer" and more accessible. Thus it is definitely a book that requires no background in neuroscience.The key theme is that feelings and emotions are foundational aspects of Consciousness.
