Synopsis
A series of human embryology and anatomy podcasts linked to the teaching at the Swansea University College of Medicine, but hopefully helpful to all students with an interest in how we are made.
Episodes
-
7. Neurological basis of movement
03/10/2018 Duration: 57minReflex arcs, lower motor neurones, upper motor neurones, the cerebellum, basal ganglia, the frontal cortex and even decussations get a mention.
-
6. Pain pathways
13/04/2011 Duration: 59minWe cover the neuroanatomy, and a little neuroscience, of how pain is perceived by the brain and how analgesics and the brain itself can modify this.
-
5. Addiction
14/02/2011 Duration: 01h01minPhil talks about the neuroscience of addiction and withdrawal.
-
4. Autonomic nervous system
08/06/2010 Duration: 53minPhil and Sam talk about the anatomy of the autonomic nervous system, the neurotransmitters involved and pharmacological targets.
-
3. Neurotransmitters
25/03/2010 Duration: 39minPhil tries to teach Sam about neurotransmitters and how they work. We work through a list of the main neurotransmitters and give an overview of their functions.
-
2. Neurobiology of appetite regulation
10/03/2010 Duration: 48minPhil tells Sam why his weight is fairly stable, what happens in his brain when he gets hungry and what changes when he has eaten. We talk about the adipostat, leptin, ghrelin and obesity, why we choose particular foods and how dopamine, opioids and (probably) serotonin are involved.

1. Action potentials and synapses
25/02/2010 Duration: 33minPhil describes the electrochemical nature of action potentials, the different phases and how a neuron transmits a signal along its length and from neuron to neuron.
