Welcome! 🧠🎧 In this interview we had an honour to speak with Ali Jawaid Ph. D: head of the TREND laboratory in Braincity, Warsaw. In the talk we delve into what lies beyond the genes and shapes complex physiological and psychological processes: behavioural transcriptomics. We learn many fascinating things such as: 🏃‍♀️How physical exercise saves future generations from obesity before they are even born 🪨 What connects a certain alkaline metal with neuronal pathway reorganisation 🧓Where do we find the organism’s ageing clock and whether we can set its timer back. Tune in for more questions and answers! The episode was prepared in cooperation with Neuronus2022 Neuroscience Forum - a neuroscientific conference held in Krakow biannually.
