    What does modern neuroscience have to say about PTSD and Ageing with Dr Wilf Nelson and Jordana Adler?

    What does modern neuroscience have to say about PTSD and Ageing with Dr Wilf Nelson and Jordana Adler?

    WaterCooler Neuroscience is continuing our episodes talking about the most interesting papers from the recent NIH confernece which Jordana Adler attended. We are talking about which signals in specific the amygdala is firing at when PTSD patients are exposed to an array of fearful stimuli and how this kind of experiment can only be done in certain laboratories. We also discuss how our brain's connectivity changes as we get older and how that effects healthy ageing particularly for those under and over 50 years old.

    How similar are mice, rats and humans anyway with Dr Wilf Nelson and Jordana Adler?

    How similar are mice, rats and humans anyway with Dr Wilf Nelson and Jordana Adler?

    WaterCooler Neuroscience is back in 2022 with a new format bringing both Wilf Nelson and Jordana Adler. This episode will be bringing you some of the most interesting posters and papers from the NIH conference in America which Jordana attended recently. Wilf and Jordana discuss research into how much can we really assume that rodent and human brains are comparable, especially given billions of dollars of research ever year is done on rodent neuroscience assuming it helps us further our understanding of the human brain.

Very weary ,

Room for improvement

Great selection of topics and current research but the host continually interrupts, sometimes to the point where I have to stop listening
