About the show

Why do our brains work the way they do? How are they built from cells as we develop? What happens to them as we age? How could neuroscience help with diseases such as dementia and conditions like chronic pain? There are over 100 neuroscience labs at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London, and these are just a handful of the questions they are trying to answer. In this podcast series, we sit down with researchers to discuss their latest research, from work on OCD to sleep in children. Join us and learn a little bit more about how your brain works.
