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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
