Episode description

Welcome to this captivating episode of the Mizter Rad Show, where we dive into the fascinating world of evolutionary neurobiology with our esteemed guest, Ana Marija Jakšić. Today, we explore her groundbreaking research on enhancing the cognitive abilities of flies to better understand human brain function. Ana uses a unique approach of leveraging evolutionary principles to bioengineer a simpler model, like the brain of a fly, to shed light on complex neurogenetic mechanisms. Join us as we discuss how these tiny creatures are not only helping us unlock the mysteries of learning and memory but also paving the way for advanced AI development and potential treatments for neurological diseases. Get ready for an insightful journey into the intersection of genetics, technology, and cognitive science with Ana Marija Jakšić on the Mizter Rad Show. _____ Full transcript of this and other episodes here: https://www.mizter-rad.com/episodes
