Code of the Mind
How do you model a brain? Not all of it — just one piece. A synapse that strengthens with use. A neuron in the visual cortex that responds to edges. A cerebellum learning to fine-tune movement. A dopamine signal that encodes not reward itself, but the surprise of it. Code of the Mind is a podcast about the moments when neuroscientists and mathematicians found a shared language. Each episode takes one discovery or one thinker and follows the idea all the way through — where it came from, what it explained, and what it opened up.
