ABOUT THIS EPISODE

On April 2, 2026 we met with Dr. Daniel Llano to discuss the organization of the largest subcortical auditory brain structure, the inferior colliculus. He told us about the three major subnuclei within the inferior colliculus, their synaptic connections with other auditory and somatosensory structures, and the problems encountered as we try to identify the cell types and local connectivity within the nucleus.

Guest: Daniel A Llano, Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Participating: Marina Silveira, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UT San Antonio

Host: Charles Wilson, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UT San Antonio

Episode 330 - Marcelo Marucho, PhD

April 13, 2026

On April 9, 2026 I spoke with Dr. Marcelo Marucho, on the electrical properties of actin filaments and microtubules, ubiquitous components of the cytoskeleton of nearly all cells. He explained how the surface charge of these proteins creates a thin charged layer in the adjacent cytoplasm in which e…

Episode 327 - Se-Woong Park, PhD

March 23, 2026

On March 19, 2026 we spoke with Dr. Se-Woong Park about the idea that many of the symptoms of Autism may arise from changes in brain mechanisms that allow us to predict events in the near future from those in the recent past. Topics included internal predictions of postural destabilization produced…
