Podcast of the Month: This Week in Neuroscience
Exploring the Brain–Body Connection Through Cutting-Edge Research
As we explore how neuroscience can support wellbeing in the workplace and beyond, we're highlighting This Week in Neuroscience (TWiN), a podcast for listeners who want a deeper dive into the science behind behavior, health, and human experience.
Produced by MicrobeTV and hosted by leading researchers, TWiN discusses emerging findings in brain science with rigor and clarity. While the format is geared toward a more technical audience, many episodes uncover insights that directly relate to wellbeing, resilience, and how we show up at work.
Here are three recent episodes we think our community would find interesting:
🧠The Neuroscience of Overeating
Explore how the brain’s stress circuits contribute to overeating, with implications for health, self-regulation, and burnout recovery.
🌿Therapeutic Effects of Psychedelic Drugs
Learn how psilocybin alters brain connectivity and how this research is shaping conversations around mental health interventions.
🔥ADHD and Persistent Pain
A look at the links between attention, executive function, and the experience of chronic pain, and what it could mean for supporting neuroinclusion.
Why We Love It
This podcast respects the intelligence of its audience while making high-level neuroscience accessible to non-researchers. It’s ideal for professionals, clinicians, and curious thinkers who want to stay informed about how brain research is shaping the future of health and work.
