On the heels of the episode with David Glanzman, we discuss the ongoing mystery regarding how memory works, how to study and think about brains and minds, and the reemergence (perhaps) of the language of thought hypothesis. David has been on the podcast a few times... once by himself, and again with Gyorgy Buzsaki. Poeppel lab Twitter: @davidpoeppel.
