About this episode
According to neuroscientist Dr. Jamie Ward, everyone knows someone with synesthesia. It’s an under-discussed form of neurodiversity that blends the senses and creates a unique way of perceiving the world. This episode, Dr. Ward joins host Dr. Samantha Yammine to chat about what is going on in the brain of someone with this condition and what it teaches us about the brain in general.

Later, she breaks down research showing the link between eating and memory formation. Link to Show Notes HERE Follow Curiosity Weekly on your favorite podcast app to get smarter with Dr.…
