I was very impressed. So I was very impressed by the whole process, the way things were arranged. Obviously, we were put in a very nice hotel and we felt pampered, honestly. Good. You feel pampered. You feel everything is just on point. And yeah, and then the shooting itself, people around you, they take care of you, bring you food. You know, it's just very, you feel pampered. So it's great.

Absolutely. And that was my approach too, right? So I would talk about my own research, some of the nicest experiments that I love about my work and sort of weave into that neuroscience curriculum in that way, right? So we talk about, for example, OCD and then maybe you might mention the orbital frontal cortex, which is overactive in OCD. What's the function of the orbital frontal cortex?

The structure in the brain, or the striatum and the basal ganglia in the context of Parkinson's. But again, taking in some work that's very, you know, some experiments that are fascinating. So it's kind of taking that natural approach, that sort of my own research or works of colleagues and just weaving it in in a more natural way, I think.

Yeah, absolutely. So for me, I think the way that I, my view of the brain was inspired by my mentor, V.S. Ramachandran.

He's extremely stunningly effective, charismatic. And when I went to California in my early days as an undergraduate, I ended up in his course. So I took his course. So let me take you there. When was that? That was in 2010, 11, around 11, 2011. So I started there, became a research scholar in his lab eventually.

And I think, you know, becoming very good friends with him, ending up in his laboratory, going on long walks on the beach all the time and just spending time with him and getting his view on the brain and sort of adapting that as my own view was something that, you know, influenced me.

And his approach, obviously, and the approach that I've adopted is one where you sort of look at the brain holistically. You acknowledge that the brain is hyperplastic. So there's all these modules that are highly dynamic and the brain is extremely malleable. And so we look at the brain as something that extremely, as a fluid process that's malleable and not fixed
