What are executive functions and why are they so important? In this episode of the podcast, world-renowned neuroscientist Dr Adrian Owen unpacks how executive functions drive everything over the course of our lives, allowing us to create and retrieve memories, understand our own and others’ emotions, plan our short and long-term goals, and much more. Drawing on gripping case studies and cutting-edge research, Adrian maps out the architecture of our brains and these executive functions, revealing the importance of them to both the potential of our brains and to our very ways of being. Adrian also provides practical advice to maintain our executive functions at every stage of our lives.
Join us for a remarkable picture of both the brain’s brilliance and its fragility, and a closer understanding of what it is that makes each of us human.
