  • Is it a Bicycle?
    Fun TV/Film Podcast

    I look forward to this coming out each week, the guys tend to epicly disagree on most movies leading to a pretty deep dissection of why they each think the other is wrong! On the TV side they are very current on new TV coming out and have steered me to a number of TV shows I might otherwise have missed. They each have a segment within the show that breaks up the podcast nicely, all in all its a great show - only complaint is each episode is usually only an hour, they could easily go longer.

  • The Dork Night Podcast
    Great Chemistry

    Really fun to listen to; the varying hosts have a very good chemistry/rapport, and their interactions are genuinely fun to listen to. The episodes I've listened to have been well structured, and the host has a great grasp of how to keep things moving. I'd check it out if I were you. Audio quality varies due to the teleconference-y recording (which is more than excusable); all the same, a perfectly enjoyable podcast.
  • UFO Paranormal Radio Network
    A terrific UFO interview, w/ feeling

    I sense something heart felt, almost too real, and a suffering. Absorbing & only the 2nd UFO case I can say I truly believe in really Tina

Brain Science Podcast #51 is an interview with Dr. Seth Grant from Cambridge University about the evolution of synapses. Dr. Grant has isolated the proteins from the synapses of several species including yeast, fruit flies, and mice. His research has led to some surprising conclusions about the evolution of the synapse and of brains. (Hint: the complex synapse evolved BEFORE big brains.)For detailed show notes and links go to http://brainsciencepodcast.com/.Share your feedback and comments at the Discussion Forum at http://brainscienceforum.com or by sending email to docartemis at gmail.com.The Brain Science Podcast is supported by listener donations via PayPal.
