Neuroanatomy podcasts

Neuroscientist George Paxinos speaks with Thanos Chatziandreou about brain mapping, consciousness and the questions that remain open in neuroscience. The Greek-language conversation also considers neurodegenerative disease, prevention, AI and the relationship between scientific knowledge, human behaviour and responsibility for the future.

Alison Barth explains how distinct neuron types contribute to cortical function and how learning can be used as an experimental window into the organization and plasticity of cortical circuits.

Ad Aertsen reflects on Valentino Braitenberg's contributions to neuroscience, including anatomy, synthetic psychology and theories of neural computation.

Hermann Cuntz discusses computational explanations of dendritic branching and the construction of synthetic neuronal morphologies.

Konrad Kording discusses what it would take to reverse engineer the nervous system of C. elegans and what this could teach neuroscience.

Sacha van Albada discusses constructing cortical models that connect cellular mechanisms with interactions between brain areas.
