"Understanding the Amazing Human Brain". A video highlighting different cases to teach information about brain science.
Secrets of the Mind." Famous neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran explores strange human conditions and their neurological underpinnings.
Short video showing a split-brain patient doing tasks.
Testing Split-Brain patients and find one side religious and the other an atheist. However, he mixes it up the second time he tells it and it's the LEFT hemisphere that doesn't believe.
Jody Miller, the girl who had half her brain taken out, from the video "Understanding the Amazing Brain." Still alive and thriving.
2-Min Neuroscience: VTA." Video about the part of our brain that releases dopamine: the chemical associated with pleasure, craving, experience and novelty seeking
"The Brain." Through overview of the human brain's main parts and what they do
"Brain Mechanisms of Pleasure." Great video of what dopamine can do. Some humans, animals, etc...
"Treating Phantom Limb." Mirror-Box therapy being used for veterans
"Conjoined Twins." The Hogan sister or conjoined twins at the head and share a thalamus which allows them to experience each other's senses. As they get older I hope to learn more.
"Jose Delgado 1." Jose Delgado and his famous experiment in which he stopped a charging bull with a radio controlled electric brain implant. Start at 1:20min
"Jose Delgado 2." Jose Delgado and his famous experiment in which he stopped a charging bull with a radio controlled electric brain implant
"We were all female." We all started off from a female template and males undergo a transformation from that. This helps explain some of the seemingly strange things about males: like why men have nipples.
"Recording Dreams." They neurology and technology that will perhaps allow us to one day record our dreams
"Introduction to Neuroanatomy." Pretty good brain dissection video
"Fresh Human Brain Autopsy." A great video in that it shows the consistency of a non-preserved brain. You can see how squishy it is.
The Reward System of the Brain
"Evolution of the Human Brain." Current understanding of how the human brain evolved over millions of years.
Video on Lateralization of the Brain and covers the Split Brain
"Wernicke's Aphasia." Aphasia is a language disorder. It's called Brocca's or Wernicke's Aphasia depending on where the damage is.
"Bionic Eye 1." Good video showing some of the tech and development of brain interfaced bionic eyes
"Robo Rat." Electronic brain interface with people and rats essentially making a remote controlled rat
"Monkey Bionic Arm." Monkeys were the first animals that had implants to be able to control advanced robot arms with their brains.
Monkey Bionic Arm #2. A further improvement on monkey controlling an arm and hand with it's brain.
"Monkey Driving Wheelchair." Neurolinks allowing monkeys to move a wheelchair with their brains connected to electronics and machines.
"One Giant Bite." Woman with paralysis is on the the first people to have brain implants used to control a robotic are like we control our normal arms. Amazing already, but still a long way to go.
"Mind Controlled Exoskeleton." This tech could be used in many ways in the future: for paralysis, strength suits, controlling humanoid robots, and more.
"Brain-Controlled Drone." Non-invasive brain control of a drone. Amazing. What will we control next?
"Bionic Eye 2." Brain implant hooked up to a camera allowing the blind to see (still pretty raw, the but technology is improving)
"Brain Controlled Robot in China." Here is a robot controlled by someone's brain in China. This tech is still pretty simple at this time.
"Ode to the Brain." Song about the brain featuring brain scientists speaking autotunned
Simple video reviewing the rewarding of rats through direct brain stimulation
Evidence has been coming in that Liberals and Conservatives have different brains in that their brains react differently to the same stimulus and even some of the sizes of structures are different. The simple breakdown is that Conservatives have more Amygdala activation leading to higher "threat-awareness" or fear.
Good video...tiny bit long... about Liberal vs. Conservative Brains. It's good data, but note: it is presented by a liberal, so make sure to notice the opinions from the data and details from the study.
