The Why Science Initiative
Episode 6- Your brain on sleep with Dr. Rebecca Spencer
In this episode of the Why Science Initiative, we are joined by Dr. Rebecca Spencer a cognitive neuroscientist from the University of Massachusetts. We discuss the Universal and often elusive topic of sleep and its impact on our brains. Sleep is a fundamental aspect of our existence and Dr. Spencer’s research sheds light on how sleep affects our cognitive function, especially the memory system in developing brains. We also touch on movement development and its connection to brain function. There is a lot of fascinating brain discussion that anyone could associate with.
This episode is perfect for anyone with a brain, but it is especially relevant to parents with toddlers who are interested in development processes and the importance of sleep in this stage of life. I am excited for you to join me for this really fun and educational episode, also don’t forget to subscribe to be notified of future episodes.
