The Brain’s Body Podcast: The Brain Is the Body

Dr. Christopher K. Slaton

Host by Dr. Christopher K. SlatonThe Brain’s Body Podcast (presented by Brain Talk Books) is an audio companion to Dr. Christopher K. Slaton’s Education and Science series and related titles. Using human systems science—the study of brain, body, and sense events—each episode explores “brain–body–sense experience” and the everyday message behind behavior. Grounded in Dr. Slaton’s signature framework—“The brain is the body” and “The Brain’s Body is a Learning System”—the podcast connects what happens

2025/09/11

Send us a text Understanding the intricate connection between a child's brain and body is fundamental to addressing mental health challenges. In my new book, I explore this critical relationship, emphasizing how a child's neural pathways process experiences and shape their responses to the world around them. Mental health isn't just about identifying problems—it's about understanding how children receive and interpret interactions, which ultimately influences their behavioral patterns and emo...
