We’re told that all snowflakes are unique. But when you really think about them, snowflakes get even more interesting - as ice crystals forming in 3D space, why are snowflakes basically 2D?

Paul Andersen begins this podcast with a discussion of brain lateralization and gives a brief demonstration of tests that were performed on split-brain individuals. He then discusses the major parts of a neuron and explains how action...

Join the Amoeba Sisters on this introduction to the Nervous System! This video briefly describes the division of the central nervous system (including going over some general areas of the brain) and the peripheral nervous system before...

In this video Paul Andersen explains the basic anatomy of a neuron; including the dendrites, cell body, axon hillock, axon, and axon terminal. He also describes how neurons are classified both structurally and functionally.

Students will learn the three main types of neurons and how they travel through the body's nerve network. Diagrams explain how information is received using our sensory organs and then processed by the central and peripheral nervous...

After his company Neuralink released a video of a monkey playing pong via an implant in its brain last week, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter that it may be able to move to initial human trials later this year.<br/>

In this video, we explore the purpose and biochemical mechanism of long-term potentiation in neurons in relevant neural circuits.

A deeper look at the workings of neurons and neurotransmitters in the context of how the human nervous system works.

This video provides an overview of the structure of neurons, the primary cells of the nervous system, and how they come together to form a network. It explains the key components of a neuron, such as the cell body, dendrites, axon, and...
