On Your Mind Neuroscience Podcast

This week on the on your mind neuroscience podcast:   We’re super excited to announce that we will be live-streaming the 2015 Sunposium: Neural Circuits and Sunshine, put on by the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience on Monday March 30 and Tuesday March 31!  There’s an impressive list of speakers, including Nobel Award winner Eric Betzig and in vivo memory manipulator Richard Tsien, who’s talks will be available for your viewing pleasure, live on this page.  We were able to get an interview with Dan Wilson, a graduate student at the Institute who studies synaptic dynamics in individual dendrites, which means you get a bonus weekend episode!  Of course it wouldn’t be an OYM episode if Liam and Kat didn’t talk about what’s on their minds, so we’ve got a lot of discussion going on about open sourcing the human body, the latest report to come out of the controversy over the Human Brain Project, and the possibility that neurons evolved twice! We hope you enjoy.   Get the stream and links to everything we
