  • The Clocks Within Our Brains
    Mar 10 2025

    How does the brain keep time? From anticipating a green light to following a song’s rhythm, our brains rely on internal clocks. In this episode, co-host Theresa Horn talks with neuroscientist Assaf Breska about how these timing mechanisms work—and how they can be studies, even though they’re hidden deep in the brain. Learn why studying patients with cerebellar lesions is key to this research and how these insights could one day lead to better treatments.

  • Illuminating the Zebrafish Mind
    Feb 10 2025

    Zebrafish larvae are so transparent that you can see their brains—and you can even watch individual neurons light up in real time. Neuroscientists Jennifer Li and Drew Robson do just that, tracking brain activity in freely swimming zebrafish as they explore, interact, and forage. In this episode, co-hosted by Svenja Klinkowski, we dive into their work and what it reveals about the fundamental mechanisms of the brain.
