When it comes to the brain, more activity isn't always better. In this episode, we explore why healthy memory depends on a careful balance between brain activity and inhibition, and how this research could help us better understand memory problems associated with conditions such as schizophrenia and age-related cognitive decline. We are joined by University of Nottingham researchers, Dr Tobias Bast, Dr Charlie Taylor and Jacob Juty.
