51. Reality
Join us as we discuss Reality! We cover topics such as ideology and how it affects our perception on reality, philosophy of language and mind with some neuroscientific insights such as predictive coding! Reality seems to be a topic that comes up several times throughout all our episodes and we attempted to make a unifying episode to discuss reality. We hope you enjoy and please feel free to share with your friends and family, it means a lot to us🤍 Neuroverse Website: https://neuroversecc.wixsite.com/podcast

50. The Neurobiology of Schizophrenia (with Dr Alice Petty)
In this week's episode we are joined by Dr Alice Petty, a neuroscientist researching the neurobiology of schizophrenia in rodent models. We discuss the challenges of uncovering the biological mechanisms that underlie complex psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, and the utility of animal models for this purpose. Schizophrenia is especially complex given the heterogeneity of symptoms that can include positive (e.g. hallucinations), negative (e.g. depression), and cognitive (e.g. impaired memory) traits. However, rodent models provide a way to model specific aspects of schizophrenia and simultaneously probe the underlying processes that occur during the development of the brain. Listen to learn more!

49. Neuro-Inspired AI (with Clémentine Dominé)
Join us today in our discussion of Neuro-Inspired AI with Clémentine Dominé. Clémentine is a PhD student at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit in the University College London, working with Professor Andrew Saxe and Professor Caswell Barry. We discuss the architecture of AI versus the brain, the dynamics of artificial neural networks, what "catastrophic forgetting" is, the exciting open-source Neural Playground and several other topics!

47. Science Communication (with Élodie Chabrol)
In today’s episode we are joined by Élodie Chabrol, who is a prominent science communicator. We discuss the importance of communicating science, how sci comm has changed over time and it’s political impact and influence.
Elodie did her PhD in Neurogenetics at Descartes, Paris followed by two postdocs at UCL (peripheral nerve system and epilepsy).
Primarily Elodie is now a science communicator. She’s the co-founder of EU beyond research. She founded the french branch of Pint of Science!! Which we also talk about.
She designed the communication strategy and coordinated the different events in France amongst many other science communication projects such as podcasting, voluntary work and consulting.

46. Anterior Cingulate Cortex’s Role in Uncertainty and Predictive Coding
In today's episode we discuss the many roles that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has in cognitive function. The ACC is associated with many higher cognitive functions such as decision-making, value of choice, inference of patterns and incomplete information. The ACC also plays a role in detecting changes in the environment and generating prediction errors between what is expected and what we experience. In this episode, we mainly discuss a recent study that investigated whether a prediction error could be detected based on neural activity in the ACC during behavioural switching between tasks.
