Welcome back to the brain science podcast. I'm your host Dr. Ginger Campbell and this is episode 80. Earlier this month, December 2011, the

brain science podcast celebrated its fifth anniversary. Today I will be doing my annual review episode, but before I get

started I want to thank a few people. First of all I want to thank Lori Wilson because she's been doing

the transcripts for the last three years and she does a great job. I also want to thank

you for listening and I want to thank the many guests that have appeared on the show.

There's actually been 49 different guests on the Brain Science Podcast.

It actually goes over 50 if you include crossover episodes of books and ideas.

So I can't think each guest individually, but I do want to give a shout out to all these

guests because I think when I started doing

interviews the show became a much better show. As I mentioned I want to thank

listeners I especially want to thank those of you who have donated to support my work and those of you who

have sent me emails telling me how much the Rain Science Podcast means to you.

You got me through the period when I wasn't sure whether I

wanted to continue the show. So it's really thanks to you that I'm looking ahead to

2012 and year six of the Rain Science Podcast. Now today's episode is going to be organized as follows.

I'm going to hit the highlights of the episodes that we had this year, some of the main ideas.

And then I'm going to do something I haven't really done before, which is talk a little

bit about what neuroscience has to tell us about brain health.
