In this episode, Washington University neurosurgeons at Barnes-Jewish Hospital dive deeper into the discussion of brain function, with a focus on the cerebellum, with Dr. Azad Bonni, Edison Professor of Neuroscience and Chairman of the Department of Neuroscience at Washington University. The trio goes onto discuss whether a raven is smarter than a chimp, how a “gut feeling” may be generated in the brain, and whether the science fiction concept of creating a back-up copy of your mind and achieving digital immortality is a real possibility.
