Welcome back to The Science Basement Podcast!
Our guest this week is Giuliano Didio, who is a PhD student at the Helsinki Institute of Life Science (HiLIFE) of the University of Helsinki. He works on the magical world of brains! Did you know that the common saying that kids learn things faster is actually true? That’s because the infant brain is very “plastic”. Listen to this episode to learn what brain plasticity is and how to increase brain plasticity in adults!
…and, of course, it wouldn’t be an episode of the TSB podcast without a science anecdote. This time we talk about the autonomous reflexes that only babies have!
