In this video, we look some of the major parts of the human brain from a midsagittal view.

Experts in neuroscience help us understand why the human brain is a marvel of structure and function. This video looks at differences between the right side of our brain and the left side. The left brain tends to be seen as the more...

Generally, humans try to avoid getting stung by insects. However, in the name of science, the betterment of humanity, and pure curiosity, there are brave people out there who willingly subject themselves to the business end...

In this video, we explore the blood supply to the brain, the vertebrobasilar system, and the Circle of Willis.

Anatomy of the Bony Labrynth

Modern psychiatric drugs treat the chemistry of the whole brain, but neurobiologist David Anderson has a more nuanced view of how the brain functions. He shares new research that could lead to targeted psychiatric medications -- that...

It's amazing to think that we've gone from having no idea what air is, to knowing its composition intimately, and even having the ability to filter what's in it. We have produced machines that can remove both pathogens as well as harmful...

This brief tutorial covers the conduction system of the heart

Explore the variety of effects of different types of psychoactive drugs - from stimulants to depressants - on the brain's chemistry and function. Biology - Healthy Living - Learning Points. Drugs that affect the brain in a way that...

As you can imagine, life is not very complicated for sea slugs. They use their brains mainly to find food, avoid becoming food and to reproduce. While the human brain and nervous system are wired with hundreds of billions of nerve cells,...

New research from the journal Scientific Reports has found that sugar has the ability to transform our brain chemistry. <br/>

Different people react to depression in different ways. Some people lose their appetite, while others eat more. The reason for this is that different parts of the brain control appetite variation in depressed patients. Depression-related...

Experts in neuroscience help us understand why the human brain is a marvel of structure and function. Viewers learn about left brain and right brain activities, and the purpose and function of the cerebellum, cerebrum, cranial nerves and...

Experts in neuroscience help us understand why the human brain is a marvel of structure and function. This video looks at the different areas of the brain. The hippocampus which helps us to form memories, learn and have emotions. The...

This video explores the relationship between the mind and the heart in decision-making and the role of emotions in our lives. It discusses how emotions serve a purpose in survival and how the brain processes and responds to emotional...

In this video, we will discuss the primary visual pathway, the neuronal connections between the optic nerve to the primary visual cortex.

In this video, Justin from the Institute of Human Anatomy discusses psychedelic research coming out of Imperial College London, and the potential DMT may have in making novel connections in the brain.

Hank describes how our brains respond biochemically to various addictive substances and behaviors and where those responses have come from, evolutionarily speaking.

Time Magazine has called it "the most horrible drug in the world," and last month, it hit the US. Because seriously, why would you take a drug that rots your flesh, bones, and brain?!

The Milky way galaxy is composed of up to 400 billion stars, and at least that many planets. Our star, the sun is one of those billions, about a third to halfway out from the galactic center....

In this video, we see the development of the central nervous system (specifically, the brain) from 3 primary brain vesicles and then 5 secondary brain vesicles.

In quantum mechanics, it’s just as natural to go forward in time as going backwards. And if you look at a typical Feynman diagram, you can turn the diagram either way. Where does this transition from time symmetry...
