Brain Ponderings podcast features Dr. Feldman

Eva Feldman, M.D., Ph.D., sat down with Mark Mattson, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins, for his podcase Brain Ponderings to discuss the importance of research on the exposome in neurologic disease.

Author | Shoshanna Fischhoff

From Brain Ponderings:

The ‘exposome’ is a term used to describe all of the environmental exposures encountered by an individual throughout their life and how these exposures affect their health and contribute to (or protect against) aging and disease. The exposures may be physical (e.g., temperature), chemical (e.g., toxic chemicals), biological (e.g., viruses), or social (psychological trauma). In this episode, I talk with University of Michigan professor of neurology Eva Feldman about research aimed at identifying environmental factors that promote, cause, or protect against neurological disorders. Exposome research is of vital practical importance because environmental factors and aging are responsible for the most common neurological disorders.
