Introduction

Cortex-Class is the official podcast of the Cortex Club, an Oxford University student run society which connects students with world leading neuroscientists. In this episode, Lucas and I interview Adam Packer, who is a Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the Department of Physiology Anatomy and Genetics here at Oxford. He's done a lot of work developing new techniques for reading and writing neural activity in awake behaving animals but has also developed a fascination for a mysterious brain region we know very little about - the Clostrum.
