Home of the Stanford Neuroblog. Scientists writing about science, for a general audience.
Have a question about the brain? Ask a neuroscientist a question.
Join us for this episode as we highlight unforgettable moments from NeuroTalk Seasons 1 and 2. Through short, memorable clips, we will explore the gripping stories of how our guests were inspired to become scientists, adventures studying different animal models, and gossip about different professors. We will also share the greatest moment in all of NeuroTalk (so far!). Take a listen!
Read MoreToday, our guest is Michael Shadlen, professor of neuroscience at the Kavli Institute for Brain Science at Columbia University. We will discuss his take on consciousness, perception, and his research studying sensory decision-making. We will also let him give us a teaser about his upcoming talk at Stanford.
This week on Neurotalk, we chat with Michael Shadlen about consciousness, perception, decision-making, and more!
Dr. Shadlen is a professor of neuroscience at the Kavli Institute for Brain Science at Columbia University, and is a former postdoc in Bill Newsome's lab here at Stanford.
This week on Neurotalk, we chat with Daniel Colón-Ramos about how glia directs synapse formation, how synaptic positions are maintained as the body and brain grows, and how his science networking site Ciencia Puerto Rico has changed science education in Puerto Rico. Dr. Colón-Ramos is an associate professor of cell biology at Yale University, and is the founder of Ciencia Puerto Rico: http://www.cienciapr.org/

This is the last Neurotalk of the academic year, and we will return at the end of September. Thanks for listening!
This week on Neurotalk, we chat with Li-Huei Tsai about her transition from cancer research to neuroscience, chromatin remodeling, Alzheimer's disease, and more! Dr. Tsai is a professor of neuroscience and the director of the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT. Note to listeners: we had a few technical difficulties with the audio quality, so some portions of the interview may be difficult to hear.
