Season

Episode 1 - The Imperfect Brain

Air date: 2018-08-26

Join Nigel Latta to explore the apparently very simple question: What is your brain? It's something humans have struggled to understand for millennia, and science for several decades.

Episode 2 - The Social Brain

Air date: 2018-09-02

In this episode we question the narrative that human beings are selfish. Modern neuroscience has blown that myth apart, showing human connection to be an incredibly important function of the brain.

Episode 3 - The Super Charged Brain

Air date: 2018-09-09

In this episode we're going to find out why we remember certain things and forget others. We'll also look at what happens to the brain when it gets damaged.

Episode 4 - What is Your Brain

Air date: 2018-09-16
