Hi, it's me, Santina, the human who feeds and takes care of the hippo. It really is his world, and we are all so lucky to just be living in it.

This week, I discuss the dark history of neuroscience, a rabbit hole I recently fell down as I learned just how much has actually taken place at McGill. Since I will be discussing dark topics, viewer discretion is advised. We will be talking about horrific experiments like the Montreal experiment, which was a part of MKUltra, some Nazi medical experimentation, as well as some examples of flawed science, such as lobotomies and pseudoscience.

As always, you can follow me on Instagram and everywhere you can listen to podcasts at @theplasticitypodcast. I release new episodes weekly on Mondays at 7:00 am EST. Thank you so much for listening and i hope you enjoy this spooky episode as we gear up for halloween this week.
