The CRAM Podcast ~ Extraordinary Ideas Unleashed

How does your brain REALLY work?

Mary Ito Season 1 Episode 101

They say space is the final frontier. No way. The final frontier is right there within you – your brain!

The brain is still a big mystery – even to scientists who are trying to figure out its puzzle.  

But they’re learning more and more about the brain and dispelling old beliefs about it. 

Are there left brain, right brain people?  Are we born with a finite set of brain cells?  Is it normal to lose memory as we age?

Join us as we dive into the most complex, interesting and important organ in our bodies with neurologist Lorraine Kalia.
