Professor George Paxinos is a Greek- Australian Neuroscientist who is credited for having mapped the brain and spinal chord of humans.He has identified and named more brain areas than anyone in history. 

He studied at Berkeley, McGill and Yale Universities, and was a visiting scientist at Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford and UCLA. He is Professor of Medical Sciences at NeuRA and The University of New South Wales, Sydney and was the past president of the Australian Neuroscience Society and the World Congress of Neuroscience.

He's received awards from the Association of American Publishers and the British Medical Association. 

Professor Paxinos is the author of 57 books on the subject of brain cartography and his first, The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, is the most cited publication in neuroscience and, for three decades, the third most cited book in science. More recently, Professor Paxinos published his first  novel A River Divided, which uses his vast knowledge to examine the limits of science and the brain, and considers the contributions of nature and nurture in the formation of attitudes. 

In this truly fascinating conversation with the dynamic, authentic and charming Neuroscientist and Philosopher, we discuss brain health, strategies for delaying dementia and the future possibilities of regenerative medicine and nootropics. We also discuss intelligence, the role of genetics, poverty and lifestyle in determining brain function and performance. He shares insightful advice on the impact of diet, exercise, trauma (both physical and emotional), life experience and education on optimising our brain health.
