Chapters
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode my guest is Dr. David Linden, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and author of many popular books about the brain. We discuss individual differences between people, focusing on how they sense the world around them and the roles that chance, heredity and life experiences (even in utero) play in determining physical and cognitive traits. We examine the bidirectional connection between the mind and body and how thoughts and mental practices (e.g., meditation and breathwork) impact health. We also explore the link between inflammation and depression. Dr. Linden shares his terminal illness diagnosis, his mindset during chemotherapy and what the diagnosis has taught him about the mind, gratitude, time perception and life. This episode also covers sensual touch, cerebellar function and epigenetic inheritance and will interest anyone in neuroscience, genetics, psychology and human development.
