SfN Shorts Part 8: Memory, COVID, and Chronic Pain In Plain English: Science Made Simple

In this set of interviews from the Society for Neuroscience 2023 conference, we cover how your state of mind affects learning and memory, how COVID-19 infection during pregnancy affects the health of both parent and child, and how a treatment for trigeminal neuralgia causes measurable changes in the brain.

This is the sixth in a multi-part series called "SfN Shorts" that features these brief (5-10 minute) discussions. Check out Parts ⁠⁠1⁠⁠, ⁠⁠2⁠⁠, ⁠⁠3⁠⁠, ⁠4⁠, 5, 6, and 7 as well as "⁠⁠Rigor Jeopardy⁠⁠!" with Community for Rigor.
