- When We AgeHow do our brains change as we get older? Why are we more likely to develop Alzheimer’s or experience a stroke late in life? And what can you do to help protect your neural health? In this episode of How We’re Wired, join evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin as she unpicks the neuroscience behind the mature brain, from the neural changes that makes most of us more forgetful, to strides in repairing brain tissue after stroke. With special thanks to Sue, Alexandra Touroutoglou, and Jocelyne Bloch. How We’re Wired is a Fresh Air Production for The Bertarelli Foundation. Follow now so you never miss an episode.

- Focus - When We See FacesHow do we recognise faces? What part of the brain helps us discern a stranger from a friend? And could you be a Super Recogniser? In this focus episode of How We’re Wired, join producer Dr Eva Higginbotham as she explores the science of facial recognition, from face blindness to the brains of those who are exceptional at recalling faces, and the tests you can do to discover if you have the skill.

- How We SeeHow do we see? What parts of the brain are responsible for vision? And how can gene therapy restore sight to people living with a visual impairment? In this episode of How We’re Wired, join evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin as she unpicks the neuroscience behind our sense of sight, from the complex computations of the retina to how gene therapy is revolutionising treatment for blindness. With special thanks to Peter, Botond Roska, Bernard Schneider, and the Royal National Institute of the Blind. How We’re Wired is a Fresh Air Production for The Bertarelli Foundation.

- Focus - When We're StressedHow does stress affect decision-making? What does burnout do to the brain? And how can parents find ways to cope with emotional exhaustion and fatigue? In this focus episode of How We’re Wired, join producer Dr Eva Higginbotham as she explores the neuroscience of burnout, from how brain cells lose connections during chronic stress, to why we evolved fight, flight or freeze. With special thanks Sascha, Siobhan, Ciara, Rachel, Amy Arnsten, and Kendra Wilde. How We’re Wired is a Fresh Air Production for The Bertarelli Foundation. Follow now so you never miss an episode.

- When We Become ParentsHow do our brains change when we become parents? What does having ‘baby brain’ really mean? And how can fathers use the science of bonding to feel close to their babies? In this episode of How We’re Wired, join evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin as she unpicks the neuroscience of parenthood – from the evolution of how human parenting to why testosterone levels permanently drop in new fathers, and if there’s really a difference between Mum’s and Dad’s brain.

About How We're Wired
Love. Touch. Speech. Movement. Consciousness.
What do they all have in common?
From before birth to after death, our brains underpin our experiences and feelings. They make us who we are. But how?
In How We’re Wired, evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin goes behind the scenes of cutting-edge neuroscience research to uncover the fascinating stories of how our brains grow, change, and ultimately die.
Together, we’ll meet the scientists exploding our understanding of how the brain works and head into labs developing life-changing technologies. From hormones to heartbreak, we’re exploring true, personal stories of people’s lives – and brains - from birth to death, taking a deep look at the science that explains us all.
