Welcome to brain science, the

the podcast that explores how recent discoveries in

neuroscience are unraveling the mystery of how our brains make us human.

I am your host Dr. Ginger Campbell and this is

episode 137. Today I'm very pleased to welcome back Dr Seth Grant who

previously appeared in episode 51 and

one-on-one.

Dr. Grant is currently at the University of Edinburgh

where he directs a project called

Genes to Cognition.

In previous interviews we have focused on the Synapse and today we are going to talk about

some exciting new research.

As always, you can find detailed show notes and episode transcripts at brain science

podcast.com and please send me feedback at brain science podcast at gmail

dot com or use speak bite. I will be back after the interview to review the

key ideas and to share a few announcements. is an honor to have you back on the show. Today we are going to talk about one of the papers that

you've just released and of course I'm going to put links in the show notes, but I was hoping

that you would just start out by giving us a brief overview.

Yeah, so firstly it's very nice to be back and thank you very much.

The paper that I'm going to talk to you about today is really a very unusual paper and

for us it was a great surprise because it wasn't a project that we wrote a grant to do and

set out to do.
