That Neuroscience Guy

Sometimes, the area responsible for vision in a blind person's brain changes over time to complete different functions, like hearing. This extreme example of change in brain tissue is called Neuroplasticity, and it happens in all our brains at different levels. In the season 4 premiere of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind how our brain tissue changes over time and how that affects cognition.

A sneak peek at what's coming in Season 4 of That Neuroscience Guy, which will premiere on September 18th.

It's challenging to deal with the loss of a loved one. The grieving process is long and complicated, but what in the brain is causing this? In the season 3 finale of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience of how we process loss and the ensuing grief.

You've probably been warned about the potential of too much "Blue Light" being harmful, especially for sleep. In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss why and how Blue Light actually affects your brain activity.

We've all experienced those hot and humid days when our brains seem to work slower. Some people, like firefighters, face extreme heat regularly but still have to act rapidly in dangerous situations. How does extreme heat affect our brain, and what can we do to prevent that? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we invite a special guest Dr. Cory Coehoorn to tell us about the impact of heat on the brain.

You're only as old as you feel. In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the brain benefits of feeling younger than you are.

When was the last time you remembered a friend's phone number or did math without a calculator? It's increasingly common for us to rely on technology for many different day-to-day functions, but how does that affect our brain? Today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy discusses how relying on technology can impact our brain function.

Across social media and in day-to-day life, we spend a lot of time obsessing over cute animals. But what makes us enjoy them so much? Today's Neuroscience Bite discusses the neuroscience behind our love for cute animals.

How about this weather? The game was crazy last night! We often find ourselves repeating conversations like this with a wide range of people, it's what we call small talk. Today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy discusses the neuroscience behind small talk.

Ataxia is another neuromotor disorder that negatively impacts coordination and overall motor function. In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience behind Ataxia.
