I also write about science and mental health for a general audience, and I host Conjectures, a podcast where I speak with researchers, founders and innovators pushing the frontiers of science and medicine.
Hello, I'm Hugo Fleming.
I'm a neuroscientist & writer
I study motivation – how our brain decides where to allocate our effort, and how this is shaped by systems in the brain and body that regulate our energy. A major focus of my research is understanding how these processes go wrong in mental health conditions like depression.
