n this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Akila Kadambi, a leading researcher at the UCLA Brain Research Institute, USC Brain and Creativity Institute, and fellow at the UCLA-CDU Dana Center. She is an expert in Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience, exploring how positive and humanistic neuroscience reshapes our understanding of the mind. Dr. Kadambi’s groundbreaking work focuses on the neuroscience of empathy, pro-social behavior, and how societal factors shape our brain's expression of compassion and connection. From the wiring of our neural circuits to the impact of culture and community, she offers a compelling look at how kindness isn't just a moral ideal—it's a measurable, trainable, and deeply biological part of being human. Whether you're curious about the science behind empathy or how we can build a more connected and compassionate world, this conversation is a must-listen. Her work is funded by the Dana Center, Google Research, Sanford Institute, and the NeuroArts Blueprint Initiative #USC #UCLA #Neuroscience
