Nicolelis challenges several long-standing assumptions including the primacy of the single neuron and strict localization, which is the idea that each area of the brain has a relatively fixed function. Episode 78 of the Brain Science Podcast is a brief discussion of the key ideas presented in Beyond Boundaries, includin...

Neurobiology of Placebos with Fabrizio Benedetti (BSP 77)
  Fabrizio Benedetti, MD (click photo for podcast)Dr. Fabrizio Benedetti is one of the world's leading researchers of the neurobiology of placebos. In a recent interview (BSP 77) he explained to me that he believes that "today we are in a very good position to describe, from a biological and from an evolutionary approach, the doctor-patient relationship, and the placebo effect, itself." To appreciate Dr. Benedetti's work one must first realize that his approach differs from that of the typical clinical trial. As he observed, "To the clinical trialist, a placebo effect means any improvement which may take place after p...
