Episode notes

The level of REM sleep is normally high there and we don't quite know the mechanism but we think that REM is necessary for social behavior still working on the the specifics are they dicks too or are they just like uninterested well they I can't say they're dicks. The control animals do spend a lot of time with their partner and they are monogamousYeah I can't comment on the yeah in the previous description we can't make character judgments on a prairie vol Do you sleep any differently now that you're studying this sleep is important and I do have a a pretty solid sleep hygiene going good for you know if it's related to prairie voles though.

I’m at the airport and there are hundreds of brain scientists everywhere. So I swallowed my dignity/anxiety and approached strangers about the neuroscience they do. The result is a bushel of info on cravings, sleep, consciousness, addiction, dopamine, monogamy, Ozempic, toxins in your brain and so much more with: Georgia Kirkpatrick, Isabella Montana, Dr. Marissa Co, Chancey Garrett, Noah Millman, Pique Choi, Dr. Barbara Sorg and Elizabeth Plunk. Oops, we just made a bunch of new friends. All thanks to poster tubes, a.k.a: nerdurdurs.
