Jeff Hawkins Explores a New Theory of Cortical Function
Jeff Hawkins (Click to play interview)
My Brain Science podcast was partially inspired by Jeff Hawkins bestseller On Intelligence, so I am very pleased to post a new interview (BS 139) in which we discuss the exciting work he has been doing at Numenta. Hawkins is committed to understanding how the neocortex generates intelligence and he feels that his latest paper marks an important landmark in that work.We started our conversation by discussing some of the work that Hawkins published in 2016 including two key papers. One presents a new model of the neuron that incorporates active dendrite...

Building conscious machines, tracing asteroid origins, and how the world ’s oldest forests grew
This week we hear stories on sunlight pushing Mars ’s flock of asteroids around, approximately 400-million-year-old trees that grew by splitting their guts, and why fighting poverty might also mean worsening climate change with Online News Editor David Grimm.
Sarah Crespi talks with cognitive neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene of the Collège de Fr ance in Paris about consciousness—what is it and can machines have it?
For our monthly books segment, Jen Golbeck reviews astronaut Scott Kelly’s book Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery.

John Medina on Aging Well (BS 138)
Dr. John Medina has spent his career in bio-engineering, but he also has a deep interest in how the brain works. In his latest bookBrain Rules for Aging Well: 10 Principles for Staying Vital, Happy, and Sharp, he presents our knowledge brain aging in an engaging manner that can be enjoyed by readers of all backgrounds.In this month's episode of Brain Science (BS 138) we discuss some of the most important principles for nourishing brains as we age. He describes what he calls the "dopamine lollipop," which is the surge of dopamine created by activities such as teaching and physical activities like dancing. Some of his ideas ...

"Toxin Blockin'" -- The Discovery Files
Don't let their appearance fool you: Thimble-sized, dappled in cheerful colors and squishy, poison frogs in fact harbor some of the most potent neurotoxins we know. With new research, scientists are a step closer to resolving a related head-scratcher--how do these frogs keep from poisoning themselves? (Source: The Discovery Files)
