Every episode of AMiNDR is the result of a huge team effort. Today's episode was scripted by Melissa Conti Mazza and Anusha Kamesh, and hosted and edited by Anusha Kamesh. Big thanks to Elyn Rowe, Jacques Ferreira and rest of the sorting team sorting all the papers that appeared on PubMed in January into themes for our episodes, and props to the whole team that works very hard behind the scenes to make all this possible. 

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.
