Blast from the past! Former co-host Mitchell Thompson returns for an interview with neuroscientist Rodrigo Quian Quiroga, responsible for the discovery of the  "Jennifer Aniston neuron", a concept that examines how memories are formed, stored, and connected in our minds. Mitchell and Rodrigo discuss how these ideas can come to form in sci-fi epics like Blade Runner, Robocop, and Planet of the Apes. Originally broadcast on CJRU 1280 AM in Toronto. Produced by Mitchell Thompson.
