The Abstract: Neuroscience Unlocked

What makes us human? It all comes back to the three-pound universe between your ears.

Join neuroscientist and science writer Dr. Shahin Zagros as he sits down with the world’s sharpest minds in brain research to unpack the research that’s rewriting what we know about the mind.

Every episode takes a brand-new, high-impact paper and distills it into four crystal-clear parts:

• Objective: what were they actually trying to find out?
• Methods: how did they look inside the black box?
• Results: what did they discover?
• Significance: why does this change everything?

From memory and consciousness to epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, psychedelics, brain-machine interfaces, and beyond—The Abstract delivers the latest breakthroughs.

Plus: You ask the questions. Our guests answer them directly.

Whether you’re a researcher racing to keep up with the literature or just fascinated by how your brain turns chemistry into thoughts, feelings, and dreams—this is the podcast that feeds curious minds.

The Abstract. Where cutting-edge neuroscience meets clarity—and curiosity gets answers.
