    2026/01/12
    Is IQ more important than EQ, or is emotional intelligence the real measure of success?

From the prefrontal cortex to the hippocampus, we explore how thinking, memory, and emotional regulation work together. This episode is content- and vocabulary-heavy, but it offers a clear, science-based explanation of why intelligence is not one skill, one score, or one label.

    In this episode of Tumor Minutes, Netra takes a thoughtful and science-based look at Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, also known as OCD. Although the term is often used casually, OCD is actually a real mental health condition that involves unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors that feel difficult to control. The episode explains what obsessions and compulsions are, how OCD affects the brain, and why it is very different from simply being neat or particular. Listeners will also hear about current research, treatment options, and the importance of reducing stigma through accurate language and compassion. This episode reminds us that OCD is not a personality trait or a joke. It is a legitimate condition that people can live with while still building meaningful, joyful lives.
