Worry Less, Wag More: How Emotions Affect the Formation of Memories
In this episode of the Behavior Vets Podcast, Dr. Paula Croxson shares insights into the formation of memories, the impact of stress and trauma on memories, and how we can change learned associations from traumatic memories.
Facts Machine: Taking a Brain Check
Joined by neuroscientists, science communicators, and all around stand up humans Dr. Paula Croxson, PhD and Dr. Thiago Arzua, PhD, Rob and Noah put mind over grey matter in our annual Brain Awareness Week neuroscience show! Tune in wherever you get your podcasts—you know you want to.
Exolore: World Inside a Brain
Moiya is joined by neuroscientist Dr. Paula Croxson for a trippy exercise where they imagine the "world" of an animal brain. It doesn't get as weird as you might expect. Hosted by Dr. Moiya McTier (@GoAstroMo), astrophysicist and folklorist.
The Therapeutic Poet: On Memory and Storytelling
Hear from neuroscientists and storytelling experts Paula Croxson and Uri Hasson about how the brain processes stories, how a listener’s mind resonates with the storyteller’s, and why some stories have the power to transport you to a different place.
Facts Machine: This is Your Brain on Brains
Facts Machine is a podcast by and for people who are curious about everything — but especially the things that make them laugh.
Science et al: Scientists and Storytellers
Daniel sits down with Paula Croxson to discuss storytelling, science, and how doctors and scientists can engage the public with their work.
Space Bus: Finding Your Brain
Science communicator & storyteller Paula Croxson helps Albie find a missing solar system with the help of the grey lump in his head.
Mimi and The Brain: Memory with Dr. Paula Croxson
Mimi sits with neuroscientist and resident badass Brit Dr. Paula Croxson to discuss Alzheimer's Disease and Hollywood myths around memory.

I have performed live with numerous science, art, theatre and comedy venues, including ArtLab, BioBus, Caveat NYC, Festival of the Unknown, Nerd Nite, Taste of Science, and The World Science Festival Street Fair.
Wondrium pilot: All About Your Brain
Can animals do whatever we can do, or are human beings unique in "superpowers" such as mental flexibility, language, and decision-making? Discover the possible answers in this fascinating lecture by neuroscientist Paula Croxson, who explores the possibility that animal brains may possess some of the same advanced functions as our own.
Majoring in Everything: Flow State: Neuroscience, storytelling, music, & open water(!) swimming
Brace yourself, because Paula Croxson is a force to be reckoned with! Neuroscientist, storyteller, flautist, and (very) open water swimmer, Paula might actually need a word bigger than "everything" to describe her many talents. I am so grateful for everything I learned in this episode -- from the different types of memories we have, to how we manage anxiety without realizing it, to the fact that I might actually want to swim in the Hudson River, and more. I hope you are as inspired by this conversation and by Paula as I am.
Nerd Nite: Can Science Find a Cure for Hangovers?
Looking for a cure for your terrible hangover? Science may have the answer. Like anyone, Dr. Paula Croxson enjoys a good drink with friends. Unfortunately, she has hangovers that are unparalleled in their awfulness, and she got to wondering why. Is there a way to enjoy to hangover-free drinking? Come along as she explores the science of the hangover.
Sound Waves and Brain Waves
In this series we explore the intersections between jazz music and science. Join multiple Grammy nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón for an intimate online performance combined with conversation with neuroscientist and science communicator Dr. Paula Croxson. Enjoy live performance of memorable music, and exploration of why some songs are more memorable than others, and why we like the music that we like.
Network Changes and Plasticity in the Non-Human Primate Brain
The primate brain is specalised for higher cognitive function. One way to better understand its function is to use techniques that allow us to draw close parallels between human imaging and invasive studies in non-human primates. Paula Croxson discusses how we can use new MRI methods to investigate the parallels between the human and non-human primate brain, plasticity, and how these studies may also allow us to validate new MRI techniques.
