Listen "RE-RELEASE: Jessica Cardin, PhD - From Daydreaming To Laser Focus How Your Brain Changes"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Neuroscience Perspectives, take on the complex circuits of the brain with Jessica Cardin, PhD, professor of neuroscience at Yale University School of Medicine. Join host John Foxe, PhD, director of the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester, as he and Dr. Cardin discuss how brain states shift—from zoning out to laser focus—and the chemical signals and non-neuronal cells that help drive those changes. Discover how her lab is harnessing new technologies and big data approaches, including machine learning, to unravel how the brain integrates countless signals to guide decision-making and behavior. From exploring autism- and schizophrenia-related genes to studying models of aging and Alzheimer’s disease, Cardin’s research highlights both the promise and the challenges of understanding such a complex system.
