That Neuroscience Guy

We have spent a lot of time discussing how we learn, and what happens in the brain when we do it. But we can also improve that learning! In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind different methods we know to improve our learning.

Many people, including us on the podcast, will tell you that exercise is good for the brain. But why is exercise good for our brain? In today;'s neuroscience bite, we explain how exercise benefits the brain.

Our upbringing is based on where we're born, who we're born to, and a considerable amount of other things. We have an umbrella term for this, socioeconomic status. But does your socioeconomic status affect your brain? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss how our background has profound effects on the development of our brains.

Previously, we discussed how aging negatively impacts your brain. But is there something we can to do help prevent, or at least ameliorate, those effects? Today's Neuroscience Bite discusses tips for improving your brain's long-term health.

In the last episode, we discussed how the brain changes as we grow from babies to young adults. But what about the other side of the spectrum; what happens to our brain as we age? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience of the aging brain.

Have you ever been jealous of someone? Do you wonder why we feel envious of those around us? In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience behind jealousy.

You've probably noticed that children and teenagers tend to behave much differently than adults. A lot of this can actually be attributed to how the brain grows and changes as we develop. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss how the growing brain develops over time and affects behaviour.

Sometimes we don't know what will happen to us, like when the pandemic hit. Many of us had never experienced this before, so how do we behave in these uncertain conditions? In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience behind handling uncertainty when we make decisions.

Have you ever been bored? Have you ever experienced mind wandering? On this week's episode, we will discuss why boredom occurs, what's going on in the brain when it happens, and even what you can do to help prevent becoming bored!

While we discussed migraines in-depth last week, we didn't get a chance to talk about simple headaches fully. In today's Neuroscience Bite, we circle back and examine the neuroscience of headaches.
