   Essentials: Neuralink & Technologies to Enhance Human Brains | Dr. Matt MacDougall

   In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Matthew MacDougall, a neurosurgeon at Neuralink. We discuss how brain-machine interfaces could help people with paralysis control computers using their intended movements, and how robotic surgery enables the placement of tiny electrodes in the brain. We also explore advances in brain tumor surgery, implant safety, how the brain and software learn to work together, and the role of animal research. Dr. MacDougall shares his vision for future applications, including restoring movement, addressing mental health conditions and expanding human cognition and communication.

   How Food Choices Shape Memory, Cognition & Cravings | Dr. Scott Kanoski

   Dr. Scott Kanoski, PhD, is a Professor of Human and Evolutionary Biology and Neurobiology at the University of Southern California. We discuss how different foods impact memory and cognitive function as well as cravings. We also discuss how GLP-1 drugs work to control hunger in the brain and body, the role of the gut microbiome, and the effects of artificial and low calorie sweeteners on hunger and satiety. This episode highlights how nutrition impacts much brain health and learning capacity and how our memory impacts food choices too. Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
