"Best-Taste Scenario" -- The Discovery Files
Johns Hopkins University neuroscientists have found that a brain region -- the ventral pallidum -- appears to be strongly connected to food preference decisions. Researchers found robust neural activity related to food choice in this previously overlooked part of the brain, suggesting this spot could be key to developing therapies and treatments to encourage healthy eating.

Explore the Synaptome with Seth Grant (BS 150)
Seth Grant (click image to play interview)
Dr. Seth Grant, director of the Genes To Cognition project in the UK, has been studying the molecular biology of the synapse for decades. This month marks his fourth appearance on Brain Science (BS 150). In his latest interview we discuss the findings of his latest paper in Neuron, and he also provides an overview of how this paper fits into his larger body of work. Longtime listeners will appreciate this update, but the material is also accessible to new listeners of all backgrounds.In earlier work Grant and his team discovered that vertebrate sy...

Mutant cells in the esophagus, and protecting farmers from dangerous pesticide exposure
As you age, your cells divide over and over again, leading to minute changes in their genomes. New research reveals that in the lining of the esophagus, mutant cells run rampant, fighting for dominance over normal cells. But they do this without causing any detectable damage or cancer. Host Sarah Crespi talks to Phil Jones, a professor of cancer development at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, about what these genome changes can tell us about aging and cancer, and how some of the mutations might be good for you.
Most Western farmers apply their pesticides using drones and machinery, but in less developed...
