    Can the Brain Be Repaired by Replacing Its Cells?

    In this episode of Neuroscience Perspectives, Steven Goldman, MD, PhD, URMC Distinguished Professor in Neurosciences at the University of Rochester Medical Center, discusses groundbreaking neuroscience research on brain cell repair, stem cell therapy, and regenerative medicine. Learn how his early research in birds has led to research that shows the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits. These findings demonstrate that stimulating natural brain processes may help repair damaged neural networks in Huntington's and other diseases. Dr. Goldman described decades of research in glial cells that are shaping our understanding of brain health and allowing the exploration of new approaches to treating Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. #Neuroscience #BrainHealth #StemCells #Alzheimers #MultipleSclerosis #RegenerativeMedicine #Neurodegeneration #Podcast

    Can the Brain Help Predict Chronic Pain Risk

    In this episode of Neuroscience Perspectives, we explore one of medicine’s most complex and pervasive challenges—chronic pain. Host John Foxe, PhD, director of the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester, sits down with Paul Geha, MD, associate professor of Psychiatry, Neuroscience, Neurology, and Dentistry at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Together, they unpack the ways our brains perceive pain and the impact it can have on well-being.Dr. Geha shares his research into how brain connectivity and structure change in patients with chronic pain—and how these changes might help us predict who is at risk for conditions like low back pain or failed surgery outcomes. They discuss the psychological dimensions of pain, the challenges of diagnosis and treatment, and how research is charting a new course to change traditional injury-based models of pain.Could brain biomarkers reveal who is most vulnerable to chronic pain? Might psychedelics offer a new avenue for relief? And how can science better serve the millions suffering from pain that cannot be quantified in an exam or on a scan? ☝️ Be sure to follow and like: Neuroscience Perspectives! 🧠 Stay Connected Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@URNeuroscienceX: https://x.com/URNeuroscienceBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/urneuroscience.bsky.socialLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/urneuroscience 🧠 Experts in this Episode: Paul Geha, MD: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/people/112361971-paul-geha John Foxe, PhD: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/people/112360965-john-j-foxe🧠 Labs Mentioned: Geha Lab: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/labs/geha Frederick J. and Marion A.

    The Brain vs AI: Dr. Doris Tsao & Why the Brain is More Efficient than AI

    Join Dr. John Foxe, Director of the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester, as he welcomes renowned neuroscientist Dr. Doris Tsao to Neuroscience Perspectives. Dr. Tsao shares how her pioneering research has transformed our understanding of how the brain processes visual information. Her lab helped discover that it only takes a few hundred neurons to encode any face – for reference, there are more than a few billion neurons in the brain. This conversation explores the intersection of neuroscience, math, and AI. We also discuss her academic journey—from Caltech to Harvard, and her current role at UC Berkeley. She also shares how having the right mentor was pivotal to her scientific training. Dr. Tsao shares the importance of science communication and what it means to pursue truth in a world shaped by both neural networks and human curiosity. 🧠Stay Connected Subscribe: / @urneuroscience X: https://x.com/URNeuroscience BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/urneuroscience LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/urneuroscience 🧠Experts in this Episode: Doris Tsao, PhD: https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/doris-tsao John Foxe, PhD: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/people/112360965-john-j-foxe 🧠Labs Mentioned: Tsao Lab: https://tsaolab.berkeley.edu/ Frederick J. and Marion A.
