The Human Brain: How Does It Work? // Episode 04

Have you ever wondered how the human brain works? The complexity and intricacy of this organ continue to fascinate scientists, researchers, and individuals alike. Your brain is truly an extraordinary structure, and it’s the reason you can do all the amazing things you do. This mass of wrinkly material weighs only about 1.3 kilograms, yet it controls every single thing you will ever do. It’s the engine that drives our behaviour and allows us to interact with the world.
What drove this development and what did we have to sacrifice? The limbic system and the neocortex. How does the brain retrieve memories, articulate words, and focus attention? Brain physiology: neurons, glial cells, synapses. Principles of operation. Energy consumption. The relationship between the number of synapses and the abilities of a particular individual. The limits of the brain. Is it possible to see the world inside us with the help of modern technology? Does a person make decisions independently or is it an illusion? What factors influence our decision-making? Why do we make certain mistakes and why does our brain store memories of them?
