    In order to get accurate and precise data on the human brain, we need to use a piece of technology like functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI.
    fMRIs are extremely common in modern neuroscience studies because the advanced tech can give us information about what kind of activity is happening in different parts of the brain in response to different tasks or just at rest. fMRIs work by showing us where blood is flowing in the brain, but they can’t tell you what someone is thinking.
    The brain is a key component in our central nervous system (along with the spinal cord); it has to interpret and process information it receives from the outside world, and then coup with responses for it.
    When we look at the brain from the side, we can see three big structures. The cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the spinal cord.
    So today, we’re going to learn the regions of the brain, what happens in each one, and how to correctly interpret a headline that makes a claim about your brain.

    “The human brain is the command center for the human nervous system. It receives signals from the body's sensory organs and outputs information to the muscles. The human brain has the same basic structure as other mammal brains but is larger in relation to body size than any other brains.”
    How Your Brain Works
    science.howstuffworks.com/lif...
    “Your brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves make up a complex, integrated information-processing and control system known as your central nervous system. In tandem, they regulate all the conscious and unconscious facets of your life.”
    Learning How Little We Know About the Brain
    www.nytimes.com/2014/11/11/sc...
    “So many large and small questions remain unanswered. How is information encoded and transferred from cell to cell or from network to network of cells? Science found a genetic code but there is no brain-wide neural code; no electrical or chemical alphabet exists that can be recombined to say ‘red’ or ‘fear’ or ‘wink’ or ‘run.’”

    I am not into biology ( I am more into Physics )but this was very interesting. Can you do a video about how the brain stores information and how it recalls information because that must be very complex. We can store and combine almost everything from sound to smell, thoughts, pictures, ( movie and still) colors etc.
    And some people can memorize almost everything, others almost nothing. Some are good in combining and analysing, others can remeber and reproduce a huge amount of data, but are bad at analysing and combining data. I knew someone with an absolute pitch memory. If I played an accoord on the piano he could tell me the separet notes. I asked him how that worked and he told me, it is just as seeing colors, you know it is red and you can also see that it is light red or dark red or if to colors are the same. You do not need a reference. I can tell if two tones are close or the same if I hear both ( like when tuning a guitar) he could tune a string without any reference) like most of us can tell that color is red without any comparing.

    Broc is Hank Azaria's cousin, but they spell their names differently, Broca's Area. It's great to learn all about the brain and also have that reinforcement that the things that people discover aren't the final discovery, like Broca who discovered that part of the brain after the two men couldn't speak anymore from injuries to the sides of the head, and it still turned out it wasn't that easy.

    The human brain used to impress me, but it no longer does. I realized that it’s actually a pretty simple, limited, and error-prone computing system capable of performing only a small set of tasks, including modeling the position of the one and only body it has control over, navigating that body through 4D spacetime, memorizing words and sentences in several different languages, language processing, basic mathematical operations, and a few other relatively simple operations. It won’t be long before general A.I. software is able to perform a much wider range of operations with much greater efficiency and much less error-prone.

    The dexterity of this organ is such that even in the midst of the extraordinary insult that is Parkinson's upon it, some 80% of dopamine (DA) neurons need die before signs become prominent in the patient. Technically, this is largely attributable to volume transmission (DA floating over from healthy neighbouring cell(s)), supersensitivity (enhancement of the physiological response to DA), and overarching increases to affinity (the DA concentration at which half of a given DA receptor type are occupied); all in a stripe of neurons very deep and central within the brain.

    So! You want to study brain activity?
    Yeah nah, not rly...

    I just want to point out that you say the reason we have more lines in our brain is to fit more brain into our heads and I don’t think that is true because the brain is touching all of itself and what I mean is that all the gyrus and sulcus layers are so packed together that they might not need to be folded. The layers already touch they just have no connection between them.
    And for my second point each fold creates a little divot in the cerebral cortex where shock absorbing fluids(that do other things too) are stored in so I think that the brain would be better in terms of “brain power” if it had evolved without the wrinkles and instead took the route of evolution of better connectedness inside a smooth brain we would all have more brainpower. Surface area means nothing in a 3 dimensional space. So I guess in conclusion if we had smooth cerebral cortex we would be capable of achieving a higher brain power because we would lose the divots but only at the sacrifice of being less protected

    So the brain have a particular source code, does it vary in its signal interpretation from different angles or point of view of signal processing. Because it's better to know what to interpret, which better interpretation sent so as to arrive to a specific solution. Another question does the periphery and the brain signals bounce to objects for afferent interpretation wherein although brain waves and peripheral waves vary creating wave scopes like a butterfly comparable to that of oscillations?
