That Neuroscience Guy

Some people with missing limbs report sensations of that limb still being there, which we have termed Phantom Limb Syndrome. As it turns out, this is an excellent example of how our brain processes our body image. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind phantom limbs and body image.

Have you ever thought fondly about your past? In this week's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience behind Nostalgia.

We've talked about how both exercise and complex tasks can be beneficial for your brain. But what happens when you combine them? In today's episode of That Neuroscience guy, we have guest Paul McCarthy on to talk about cognitive Kali, his program for using a Filipino martial arts style to enhance your brain.

It's becoming increasingly popular to build Lego sets well into adulthood. In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss how simple engaging tasks like this are actually great for your brain.

It's prevalent for people to start a new year with some resolutions: commitments to improving certain behaviours. Whether it's working out, reading more, or maybe spending less time on screens, failing to keep up with those resolutions is almost as common as making them. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind why we want to improve our behaviour, and why we often fail.

For this week's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the Neuroscience of belief, using Santa Claus as a prominent example.

Have you ever made a decision you utterly regret and are left wondering why on earth you would do that? We all make mistakes, it's part of being human, but what's going on in the brain when this happens? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind making bad decisions.

Explore the functions of the pre-motor cortex in movement planning, its location and size compared to the primary motor cortex, and differences from the supplementary motor area in movement control.
