Today, our guest is Mark George, Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), where he is director of the Brain Stimulation Laboratory. We’ll be speaking with him about using TMS to probe causality in the human brain, how vagal nerve stimulation could be working to treat depression, and a little bit of entemology /beekeeping. All this and more, coming up.

Today, our guest is Daniel Dombeck, an Assistant Professor of Neurobiology at Northwestern University. We’ll be speaking with him about microscopy in the brain; mouse virtual reality and the original "mouse on a ball"; and how to get your mouse to groom.
