All the Brains I've Loved Before

Unpopular Neuroscience Episode 3

In our third episode Katie McAllister and I talk about a long list of interesting human and animal nervous systems. We sometimes talk about "the brain" as if there's only one of them, but there's tremendous diversity in nervous systems between species, and even between individuals. Learn more about the radically different brains, and surprisingly consistent behavior of jumping spiders, orcas, and french white-collar workers.

Bonus content: I talk about my least popular paper! I probably should have titled it something more attention grabbing than “Underlying sources of cognitive-anatomical variation.”
