A Humorous and Surprising Take on The “Gut Brain”
While my time in the office is steeped in talk of brain science, when I head home after work I like to decompress by watching some of my favorite TV funnymen like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Imagine my surprise when The Colbert Report cut to snippets from a lecture about the “gut brain” that we previously posted on this blog! Of course, Colbert’s clever skewering of this topic isn’t completely accurate from a scientific point of view, but it is entertaining. It’s also a great example that reminds me that brain science has become an increasingly popular topic to lots of people–not just those of us who work on it every day. If you like Stephen Colbert’s pseudo-serious shtick, then you might enjoy this clip–as long as you take it with a grain of salt and a dash of humor, of course.
