The Future of Memory: Single Neurons, Consciousness & Cognitive Decline
Description
Join this conversation with the world-renowned neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, Dr. Itzhak Fried. In this episode of Neuroscience Perspectives, Dr. Fried, professor of neurosurgery, psychiatry, and biobehavioral sciences, and co-director of the UCLA Seizure Disorder Center at the UCLA School of Medicine he is a pioneering researcher and recipient of major international awards, including the Ramon y Cajal and Tsubokawa Awards—joins us to explore the neural basis of memory, will, and human behavior.
From developing methods to record single neurons in the human brain to investigating how we might prevent “cognitive catastrophe” through minimally invasive memory prosthetics, Dr. Fried’s work is reshaping our understanding of consciousness itself. He discusses breakthroughs born from epilepsy surgery, the famous “Jennifer Aniston neuron,” and what his international clinical and research career has taught him about the future of neuroscience.
