We would like to thank our amazing team for all of the work that goes into every episode of AMiNDR. Today's episode was scripted, hosted, and edited by Ellen Koch, and reviewed by Anusha Kamesh. The bibliography was created by Sarah Louadi who also generated the wordcloud onwww.wordart.com. 

Big thanks to the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in May into themes for our episodes: Jacques Ferreira, Elyn Rowe, Christy Yu, Nicole Corso, Ellen Koch, and Naila Kuhlmann.  

Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, and Jacques Ferreira, for keeping everything running smoothly.

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.
