BS 133: Counting Neurons with Dr. Suzana Herculano-Houzel
In this episode Dr. Campbell talks with Dr. Suzana Herculano-Houzel about her research that indicates that the human brain contains about 86 billion neurons, less than the 100 billion that was long assumed. This is also described in her book The Human Advantage: How Our Brains Became Remarkable, which also debunks some other longstanding assumptions.
