The Synapse: Recent Episodes
Simply Neuroscience
We explore the interdisciplinary applications of STEM fields with guest interviews and educational productions. This podcast is student-run through the nonprofit "Simply Neuroscience."
In this episode you will learn a lot about the human mind, especially about the origin of human beliefs, their impact on society, why we are different in terms of choosing what to believe in, increasing importance of trust in the global world, can we ever free ourselves from the machinery that drives us to believe in irrational things, is there a way to design a better society and much more.Find us at simplyneuroscience.org

Dr John Ratey is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, an internationally recognized authority on exercise and neuropsychiatry, and the author of Go Wild and Spark. He's also been a longtime advocate of exercise and reconnecting with our ancestors' ways of life, ideas that today echo across many corners of the internet. Today I had the chance to talk to him about topics ranging from the essentials that we aren't getting from the modern world, how reconnecting with our origins betters our lives, neuroscience's failure to find an explanation for consciousness, and the importance of exercise for health and performance.

All you need to do is compare a gym in January with a gym in February to see how quickly motivation drops off for the average person. We often think of motivation as an elusive, uncatchable force that comes an goes as it pleases, leaving us whenever it wants to in unpredictable patterns. In this episode with Virginia Tech educational psychology professor Dr Brett Jones, we reveal that motivation is something you can deliberately increase in yourself, and we discuss his MUSIC model of motivation and how we can leverage it to push ourselves to our goals.

Aujourd'hui, prenons un pas en arrière pour discuter des impacts non-génétiques du CRISPR-Cas9. Qu'en penses-tu : l'édition génétique est-elle un produit complètement rose ? Quelles seront ses implications génétiques, épidémiologiques, sociétales, économiques, et éthiques ? Comme société, est-ce que notre culture de perfectionnement personnel et communautaire nous limite psychologiquement d'une utilisation responsable de l'édition génétique ?

When you think about what depression is, you probably first think about its psychological symptoms: sadness, decreased motivation, fatigue, etc. Most of us think of depression as a psychological disorder, but there is a large body of evidence that suggests that depression might actually be a biological disorder, as much so as diabetes.
If you've taken a psychology class, you might also think of decreased levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, but what makes these neurotransmitter levels low in the first place? How do they connect to psychological symptoms of depression? And what does ketamine, a psychoactive drug, have to do with depression? Dr. Gerard Sanacora, the principal investigator of Yale Medical School's Depression Research Program, talks about the latest research on the underlying biological mechanisms of depression and how this knowledge is being applied to discover new treatments for depression.

What do you think of when you hear TikTok? Memes? E-girl dance videos? Doctors?
TikTok has entertained us for hours on end, but it has also developed a stigma for being distracting and having a negative influence. In this podcast, we examine another possible use for a social media site: education. We interviewed Dr. Klyachman, who is completing his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at NYU, and Dr. Goodarzi, a Harvard-trained physician who is board-certified in dermatology. They told us about how they're using TikTok to fight misinformation, inspire and educate thousands of people about medicine.
Special thanks to Dr. Ben Klyachman and Dr. Heidi Goodarzi!
