Join us as we discuss Reality! We cover topics such as ideology and how it affects our perception on reality, philosophy of language and mind with some neuroscientific insights such as predictive coding! Reality seems to be a topic that comes up several times throughout all our episodes and we attempted to make a unifying episode to discuss reality. We hope you enjoy and please feel free to share with your friends and family, it means a lot to us🤍 Neuroverse Website: https://neuroversecc.wixsite.com/podcast Twitter: @neuroverse_pod https://twitter.com/neuroverse_pod?s=21&t=KvAEuwGNKFQ9IPKlL7NTEg Podcast directory: https://anchor.fm/neuroverse9 Support us! https://ko-fi.com/neuroverse Instagram: @Neuroverse_pod https://instagram.com/neuroverse_pod?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Monthly donations for the price of a cup of coffee! http://ko-fi.com/neuroverse/tiers Help us improve our podcast by giving us some feedback! https://forms.gle/PuEMC1BCWXdAqCRQA --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/neuroverse9/message

In this week's episode we are joined by Dr Alice Petty, a neuroscientist researching the neurobiology of schizophrenia in rodent models. We discuss the challenges of uncovering the biological mechanisms that underlie complex psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, and the utility of animal models for this purpose. Schizophrenia is especially complex given the heterogeneity of symptoms that can include positive (e.g. hallucinations), negative (e.g. depression), and cognitive (e.g. impaired memory) traits. However, rodent models provide a way to model specific aspects of schizophrenia and simultaneously probe the underlying processes that occur during the development of the brain. Listen to learn more!

Join us today in our discussion of Neuro-Inspired AI with Clémentine Dominé. Clémentine is a PhD student at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit in the University College London, working with Professor Andrew Saxe and Professor Caswell Barry. We discuss the architecture of AI versus the brain, the dynamics of artificial neural networks, what "catastrophic forgetting" is, the exciting open-source Neural Playground and several other topics!

In today’s episode we are joined by Élodie Chabrol, who is a prominent science communicator. We discuss the importance of communicating science, how sci comm has changed over time and it’s political impact and influence. Elodie did her PhD in Neurogenetics at Descartes, Paris followed by two postdocs at UCL (peripheral nerve system and epilepsy). Primarily Elodie is now a science communicator. She’s the co-founder of EU beyond research. She founded the french branch of Pint of Science!! Which we also talk about. She designed the communication strategy and coordinated the different events in France amongst many other science communication projects such as podcasting, voluntary work and consulting. --- Website: https://neuroversecc.wixsite.com/podcast Twitter: @neuroverse_pod https://twitter.com/neuroverse_pod?s=21&t=KvAEuwGNKFQ9IPKlL7NTEg Élodie’s website: https://www.elodiechabrol.com Pint of science: https://pintofscience.com Beyond research website: https://www.beyondresearch.eu Podcast directory: https://anchor.fm/neuroverse9 Support us! https://ko-fi.com/neuroverse Instagram: @Neuroverse_pod https://instagram.com/neuroverse_pod?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Monthly donations for the price of a cup of coffee! http://ko-fi.com/neuroverse/tiers  Help us improve our podcast by giving us some feedback! https://forms.gle/PuEMC1BCWXdAqCRQA --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/neuroverse9/message
