Join Nigel Latta to explore the apparently very simple question: What is your brain? It's something humans have struggled to understand for millennia, and science for several decades.

In this episode we question the narrative that human beings are selfish. Modern neuroscience has blown that myth apart, showing human connection to be an incredibly important function of the brain.

In this episode we're going to find out why we remember certain things and forget others. We'll also look at what happens to the brain when it gets damaged.

For most of human history our brains dealt with pretty straight forward problems. But that brain is the exact same one we now use to grapple with the modern world.
