Dr. Mangalam Challenges What We Think About Motor Intelligence | #39

What do an amoeba, a tardigrade, and a human have in common? More than you might think. This episode explores the surprising parallels between how amoebas grasp, how humans manipulate objects, and how tardigrades and humans walk. We also dive into the curious case of frozen tardigrades-are they truly suspended in time like a Parkinson’s patient in a frozen gait? Dr. Mangalam joins us to break down the biomechanics, neural control, and evolutionary insights hidden in these tiny yet profound movements.
