This month's episode of Brain Science (BS 195) is an interview with David J Anderson from Cal Tech. We talk about his new book The Nature of the Beast: How Emotions Guide US. We talk about how emotion CAN be studied in animals by using methods that focus on brain states rather than verbal descriptions. Dr. Anderson also explains why this experimental work is essential to developing more effective treatment of mental illnesses.This episode is a follow up to my discussion of The Neuroscience of Emotion: A New Synthe...

Probing Earth ’s mysterious inner core, and the most complete human genome to date
On this week’s show: A journey to the center of the center of the Earth, and what was missing from the first human genome project
Staff Writer Paul Voosen talks with host Sarah Crespi about the many mysteries surrounding the innermost part of our planet—from its surprisingly recent birth to whether it spins faster or slower than the rest of the planet.
Next, Sarah chats with Adam Phillippy about the results from the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium, an effort to create a complete and detailed read of the human genome. Phillippy, a senior investigator and head of the Genome Informatics Section at the Nati...

BS 194 "The Grieving Brain" with Mary-Frances O'Connor
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...

Genomics unwraps mystery of the Tarim mummies
The unexpected origins of a 4000-year-old people, protecting your ‘digital presence’ and what to expect from COP26.In this episode:00:48 The origins of the mysterious Tarim mummiesFor decades there has been debate about the origins of a group of 4000-year-old individuals known as the Tarim Basin mummies. Their distinct appearance and clothing has prompted scientists to hypothesise they had migrated from the North or West. Now, a team of researchers have used modern genomics to shed new light on this mystery and reveal that migration was not the mummies’ origin.Research article: Zhang et al.News and Views: The unexpec...

This month's episode of Brain Science is an interview with Dr. Stephen Fleming, author of "Know Thyself: The Science of Self-Awareness." We explore the concept of metacognition and learn that while explicit metacognition (thinking about thinking) may be unique to humans, it is built on building blocks shared with other species. We also explore what can go wrong and why it matters.

This month's episode of Brain Science features Iris Berent, PhD, author of "The Blind Storyteller: How We Reason About Human Nature." We explore how our deeply entrenched biases toward dualism and essentialism impact our attitudes toward neuroscience and toward problems like mental illness.
Dualism reflects our intuition that Mind is something non-physical and gives us a bias against the possibility of innate ideas, while Essentialism reflects the opposite intuition that living things possess a special innate physical essence.O...

Talk Evidence - re-hospitalistion for covid-19, remote hypertension intervention
The evidence geekery continues, and this week Helen Macdonald and Duncan Jarvies are joined by Joe Ross, The BMJ's US research editor, and professor of medicine and public health at Yale.
This week we pick up on a preprint in medRxiv, which has been attracting attention on social media - it tries to look at the longer term effects of covid hospitalisation.
Joe explains why he thinks propensity matching can be summarised as "doing your best".
Finally, as more and more care moves remotely, we discuss a trial on a digital intervention to help manage poorly controlled hypertension remotely.
Reading list:
Epidemiology of po...
