Your Brain Has 10 Galaxies—Here’s What That Actually Means

We each have a brain more complex than 10 galaxies… yet most of us have no idea how it really works.

In this mind-expanding conversation, I sit down with Dr. Bobby Kasthuri—associate professor and brain-mapping pioneer at the University of Chicago—to explore why understanding the brain may be the most ambitious project of our time.

We cover:

• Why your memories, skills, and dreams might live in your brain’s wiring

• What the field of connectomics is trying to do (and why it’s like mapping the universe)

• How childhood shapes your wiring—and your future

• Why we might not have free will after all And what Einstein, Mozart, and late bloomers might have in common

This is the kind of episode that makes you rethink what it means to be you.
