Every episode of AMiNDR is the result of a huge team effort. Today's episode was scripted and hosted by Jacques Ferreira, reviewed by Sarah Louadi, and edited by Anusha Kamesh.  The bibliography was created by Satish Kumar and the wordcloud was made by Sarah Louadi using www.wordart.com.  Big thanks to Elyn Rowe, Jacques Ferreira and the rest of the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in January into themes for our episodes, to our managers Sarah Louadi and Ellen Koch for keeping everything running smoothly, 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.
