SYSK Selects: How Capgras Syndrome Works

# Summary

In this fascinating dive into Capgras syndrome, Josh and Chuck explore one of the brain's strangest disorders, where people become convinced that their loved ones have been replaced by identical imposters. The guys break down the neuroscience behind this rare condition, explain why people with perfectly intact memories and reasoning skills still can't shake the delusion, and discuss some truly wild cases including a Brazilian man who believed even himself was a fake. It's a mind-bending exploration of how memory, emotion, and perception work together in the brain, with some genuinely unsettling stories about what happens when that system goes haywire.
