Eve Marder’s research into the plasticity and resilience of nervous systems finds universal principles guiding life’s responses to stress.            <p>The post <a href="https://www.quantamagazine.org/eve-marder-on-the-crucial-resilience-of-neurons-20210517/" target="_blank">Eve Marder on the Crucial Resilience of Neurons</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.quantamagazine.org" target="_blank">Quanta Magazine</a></p>

Behaviors are sometimes described as being "hardwired," but the work of the celebrated neuroscientist Eve Marder of Brandeis University has explored a crucial difference between neural circuits and engineered ones: Neurons need to be resilient in the face of their own ongoing biomolecular transformation. In this episode, host Steven Strogatz talks with Marder about "multiple solutions" as a key feature of life, the similarities between a crab's stomach and our shoulders, and the secret to a satisfying career in science.
