Welcome to Brain Science,

Brain Science, Neuroscience for Everyone.

Since 2006, we have been exploring how recent discoveries in

neuroscience are unraveling the mystery of how our brains make us human.

I'm your host Dr. Ginger Campbell, and this is episode 142.

Today we will be exploring the neurons that keep track of the space around us and we will learn why they are so important.

My guest is Dr. Michael Grotiano, who originally appeared back in episode 108 when we discussed his previous book, Consciousness and the Social Brain. Today we will talk about his latest book, which is called The Spaces Between Us, a story of

neuroscience, evolution, and human nature.

I will be back after the interview to review the key ideas along with a few brief announcements.

As always, you will find complete show notes and episode transcripts at brainscience podcast.com.

You can send me email at brain science podcast at gmail.com or send me audio

feedback via speakpipe which has a mobile app or you can go to the website,

Great to have you back on the show, Mike. I've changed the name of the show from the

Brain Science podcast to Brain Science because podcast seems redundant after all these

years. But other than that, it's the same show as when you were on before. It's hard to believe it was four years ago.

Wow. We're talking about your new book, The Spaces Between Us, a Story of Neuroscience, Evolution, and Human Nature.
