In this video Paul Andersen explains the structures and functions of seventeen major parts of the brain. He begins with a quick discussion of brain evolution and ends with a review of the major parts presented inside the brainstem, cerebellum, thalamus, and cerebrum.

You are an example of what we call "good teacher".
-
I like how my brain is learning about itself

hey there, these are my notes on the vid. hope this helps :) 1. brain stem- does the involuntary actions that keep you alive (breathing, circulation, digesting, etc) + responsible in sending and filtering information. Sensory nerves goes upwards towards the brain and motion nerves go down to be acted upon by the body. the following three are parts of the brain stem: 2. medulla oblongata 3. pons 4. midbrain 5. cerebellum- important for motor control, muscle memory, coordination, etc 6. thalamus- imagine a router. the thalamus sends information to where it needs to go 7. hypothalamus- h for homeostasis. keyword: "maintains" this maintains body temp, osmolarity. also is responsible for the circadian rhythm. 8. posterior pituitary- 1/2 is part of the brain. this sends off hormones 9. Cerebrum- is the largest part of the brain and is used to make sense of all the info coming into the brain. part of the cerebrum: 10. corpus collosum- connects the two sides of the brain together (left side-logic, right side- emotions) 11. basal ganglia- nuclei (bunch o' neurons that have the same function) that are responsible for most of motor control. Cerebral cortex: 12. frontal lobe- boss dude that has reign over emotional control 13. parietal lobe- sensation 14. occipital lobe- vision 15. temporal lobe- hearing, language and memory these are located right beside one another at the shared border of the frontal and parietal lobe: 16. motor cortex (in frontal) 17. somatosensory cortex (in parietal)

i get to memorize this in 13 minutes while i remember nothing from my 3 hours worth of class lmaoo thank you!
-
When you cant sleep, might as well learn the parts of brains
-
Brain stem- controls autonomic functions Cerebellum-motor memory and movement Thalamus-processes and sends information where it needs to go Hypothalamus-maintains homeostasis Pituitary gland- controls hormones
-
This was seriously SO helpful!!! Like honestly one of the most easy to understand, informative videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much. This was so interesting.
-
I am a coach and a teacher and I wanted to say I absolutely adore the way you interact with us - direct, very calm and engaging. Thank you :)
-
This guy's teaching skills are beyond godlike.
-
The brain is the most important body part... According to the brain...
-
Studying for my nursing entrance exam, these videos are FANTASTIC!!! Thank you so much Mr. Anderson!! I will recommend this series to all my pre-nursing friends!! 👏👏👏👏👏
-
Is there anyone here who only wanted to know about the brain and doesn't have a test tomorrow? 😂
-
Your video saved me in the AP Environmental exams and you will save me again on the AP Psychology exam
-
How could this have dislikes? This is so beautifully clear and explained so simply. Thank you Mr. Anderson
-
This one of the best (if not the best) educational YouTube videos I've seen!!! Never thought that understanding the brain would be so easy and interesting (instead of just memorizing parts to know them). THANK YOU!!! You are brilliant.
-
The pace and tone of speaking, the slides besides instructor’s video, the clear images and clear explanation, how can I love you more?
-
Learning about the brain for my exams. Asking myself: "Stupid brain you know how you work, why u not tell me!?"
-
I wish he would be my anatomy professor. He seems like passient & nice person.
-
Wow! It's been more than a decade, and you just helped me remember loads of info in less than 15 minutes! I should have paid my tuition money to you!
-
I really can't thank you enough; I was having a difficulty following all the information in my neurolinguistics course, but you just made it way easier.
