#51 Brain Science Podcast: Dr. Seth Grant on Synapse Evolution
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.

Extra Content: Episode 34 of Books and Ideas is an interview with Bruce Hood, author of "SuperSense: Why We Believe in the Unbelievable." Dr. Hood is a developmental psychologist with a long-standing interest in why people believe weird things. In "Supersense" he argues that innate cognitive structures (how we think without being taught) give people a natural tendency toward belief in the supernatural. Our intuitive sense of how the world works is often at odds with the findings of modern science. In this interview we discuss the evidence for these conclusions and their implications.
