A Journey Into The Brain - Dr. Eric Chudler

The Not Old Better Show, Inside Science Interview Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates  Inside Science Interview series on radio and podcast.  I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's show is part of our Smithsonian Associates Inside Science interview series. We have an excellent program about the brain, its function, the new science about the brain which tells us many new things, and why each brain is different for each of us in The Not Old Better Show audience.   

Thank you so much for listening. As I say, we've got a great guest today, who, after reading his new book, 'Neuropedia: A Brief Compendium of Brain Phenomena.' I've been looking forward to speaking with him for a while and whom I'll introduce in just a moment…But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 689th episode, when I spoke with first-time author Danny Olmes about his new book, Memoirs of an Ordinary Guy: The Everyday Experiences that Changed My Life. Two weeks ago, I spoke with Smithsonian Associate Glory Liu, about her new book, 'Adam Smith's America.'  Wonderful subjects for our Not Old Better Show audience…If you missed those shows, along with any others, you can go back and check them out with my entire back catalog of shows, all free for you, there on our website, NotOld-Better.com

The brain has fascinated and puzzled scientists and philosophers, and all of us, for thousands of years. Although we know a great deal about the brain, there is still so much more to learn. For example, we still do not have effective treatments and cures for many neurological and psychiatric disorders, and our understanding of how the brain generates consciousness is unclear.

Join me and our guest, Smithsonian Associate Eric Chudler, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington, as he tells us about the fascinating interactive journey into the brain.  Dr Eric Chudler will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates
