Synapse & Cognition

by Aima Aamir

Synapse & Cognition explores how the brain and mind shape the way we think, feel and behave. Each episode takes a question we rarely stop to ask, like "Why do we say men don't cry?", and looks at it through psychology and neuroscience, drawing on research, real studies and conversations with students, researchers and academics. From emotion and memory to sleep and the teenage brain, the show asks what the evidence says, where it's still debated, and what it means for everyday life. No jargon without explanation, and no claims without evidence. Hosted by Aima Aamir. New episodes are released regularly.
