episode 201: Episode 201 -- Maya Henry PhD
Thursday, April 18, 2019
Maya Henry (UT Austin) talks to us about her imaging studies of patients suffering from primary progressive aphasias, what they tell us about speech and language networks, and how her rehabilitation studies are demonstrating speech gains for patients with an otherwise poor degenerative prognosis...
episode 202: Episode 202 -- Symposium 2019: Brain Oscillations in Parkinson’s Disease
Thursday, September 12, 2019
Recorded as a panel discussion following the UTSA Neurosciences Institute’s 2019 research symposium on September 12, 2019...
episode 203: Episode 203 -- Michael Smotherman PhD II
Thursday, October 3, 2019
Mike Smotherman joins us again to talk echolocation in bats, specifically how physiological studies in his lab investigate the circuitry that shapes sonar pulse acoustics. He discusses how bats in groups implement circuit plasticity to coordinate their sonar systems to minimize interference...
episode 204: Episode 204 -- Ottavio Arancio MD PhD
Thursday, October 10, 2019
Ottavio Arancio discusses the problematic aspects of therapeutic strategies built upon the amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease, and his work defining the synaptic effects of soluble beta amyloid and tau oligomers in the etiopathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease...
episode 205: Episode 205 -- Michelle T. Diaz PhD
Thursday, October 24, 2019
Michelle Diaz (Penn State) discusses how language features might be organized in the neural architecture and talks about her structural and behavioral studies of how language production changes over the lifespan...
episode 206: Episode 206 -- Sophie Caron PhD
Thursday, October 31, 2019

episode 207: Episode 207 -- Ajay Dhaka PhD
Thursday, November 7, 2019
Ajay Dhaka (UW) talks about distinctions in itch (pruritis) and pain (nociception) somatosensation, and his discovery of overlapping mechanisms for these sensations via direct activation of different populations of TRP channel-expressing somatosensory neurons in zebrafish. He also talks to us about developing zebrafish larvae as a behavioral screening tool for analgesic drug discovery...
