🚨NEW EPISODE ALERT🚨 Neuroscience of Social Interactions: Friendship, Theory of Mind & the Amygdala | Dr. Raymundo Báez-Mendoza In Episode 28 of Neuroscience and Beyond, we explore the neural basis of social behaviour with Dr. Raymundo Báez-Mendoza @thunderNeurosci, #neuroscientist and group leader at the German Primate Centre @DPZ_eu. From understanding trust and cooperation to decoding fear and social distance, Dr. Báez-Mendoza’s work reveals how the #brain makes sense of our most fundamental social experiences. Bridging research in humans and non-human primates, his lab uses game theory, structured behavioural tasks, and neural recordings to investigate the #cognitive and emotional processes that shape how we interact with others. In this episode, we cover: - How scientists model real-life social decisions in the lab - The role of the amygdala in both fear and friendship How memory, reputation, and authority influence behaviour - What are Social Agent Identity Cells, and why do they matter? - Insights from neural recordings during brain surgery and more! 🎧 Curious how the brain navigates trust, memory, and connection? Watch the full episode on YouTube to explore how neuroscience is helping us understand social interaction at its most fundamental level.
