The Human Brain – Concluding Part Three

The Cerebral Cortex

This is a two-minute review, courtesy of YouTube, to the most important part of the brain.

I write purely as a layman, interested in the brain. It is wonderful how much has been understood, and documented, about the human brain.

Here is Part Three.

I was thinking earlier today when feeding the deer how the brain is predominant in so many species. And from that the rich return we have from evolution.

Long may all species continue to evolve!

The Human Brain – Part Two

The second episode.

I ought not to call it an episode because I have a different presenter for today’s YouTube.

“The human brain is puzzling — it is curiously large given the size of our bodies, uses a tremendous amount of energy for its weight and has a bizarrely dense cerebral cortex.

But: why? Neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel puts on her detective’s cap and leads us through this mystery. By making “brain soup,” she arrives at a startling conclusion.”

The Human Brain – Part One

An animated tour around the human brain.

I’m not young anymore but still open to learning.

This week I want to communicate information about the human brain.
