Two hundred million years ago, our mammal ancestors developed a new brain feature: the neocortex. This stamp-sized piece of tissue (wrapped around a brain the size of a walnut) is the key to what humanity has become. Now, futurist Ray...

Henry Markram says the mysteries of the mind can be solved -- soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they're made of neurons and electric signals, and he plans to find them with a supercomputer that models all the brain's...

The limbic system is the term for various parts of the brain involved in emotions such as fear, aggression, and attraction, and behaviors related to these emotions, as well as memory, learning, and senses. The four important parts of the...

Explore the primal instincts that connect humans with the animal kingdom. This fascinating documentary delves into the survival and reproductive behaviors that humans share with animals, demonstrating our innate responses to fear and...

In this video, Justin from the Institute of Human Anatomy discusses how scientists and medical professionals know with certainty, that we use 100% of our brain.

The limbic system is the term for various parts of the brain involved in emotions such as fear, aggression, and attraction, and behaviors related to these emotions, as well as memory, learning, and senses. The four important parts of the...

While sleep is for rest and repair of the brain, parts of it are still very active at various times and sleep psychologists believe one of the things they're doing is helping to consolidate our memories. This short film looks at...
