Brad Zuchero

Brad Zuchero, an assistant professor of neurosurgery at Stanford Medicine and a leader in glial cell research, dives into the vital roles of glial cells in brain health. He discusses how myelin not only insulates nerve signals but also plays a surprising role in Alzheimer's disease. The conversation sheds light on glial cells' contributions to neuroinflammation, brain fog, and synaptic maintenance. Zuchero emphasizes the importance of these often-overlooked cells in understanding neurodegenerative diseases, providing a fresh perspective on brain function.
