The Stroop Effect: How Your Brain Interprets Colors
This video explores the Stroop effect, a phenomenon that occurs when the brain's reaction time slows down due to conflicting information between the color of a word and the name of the color written. It delves into the brain's processing...

How the Nervous System Allows Us to Respond to Changes in Our Environment
The video provides an explanation of the nervous system, its components, and how they work together. The video explains how a stimulus is detected, converted into an electrical impulse, and travels along a sensory neuron to the CNS,...

The Sensorimotor System and Human Reflexes
We just learned all about how sensory information from the surroundings makes it to the brain, but once it's there, the brain has to then tell the body what to do to respond to its surroundings. This happens thanks to the sensorimotor...

How Do Neurons Work?
Neurons send signals through a mechanism called action potential. Action potentials are electrical signals that pass through the neuron’s axon. This causes the neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron. Action potentials are the...

What is Action Potential?
Ready for action? Time to get your neurons firing with some action potential. If you thought resting potential was tough to understand, it seems like action potential is that much more difficult. However, thanks to Alie Astrocyte, we...

Neuroscience of Bats
You're as blind as a bat! Well, that's not so bad, it turns out. Why? Because bats use this amazing talent they have, called 'echolocation'. It's sort of like a natural sonar. To help us explain this strange phenomenon, we have Margot...

Do You Only Use 10% Of Your Brain?
Do we only use 10% of our brains? That seems like a very low number. What if we could tap into that extra potential? Humans are obsessed with augmenting and improving ourselves. Just look at Iron Man, Lucy, and Limitless. In this...

Graded Potentials, EPSPs, IPSPs, & Summation
In this video, we will discuss the purpose of graded potentials, EPSPs, and IPSPs; and how the summation of all graded potentials by the soma dictates whether an action potential occurs.

Neuronal Pools and Neural Processing
Ok, so we now have a pretty solid understanding of neuronal structure, as well as the action potential and synapses, so we understand how information gets from one neuron to the next. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. How are...
