We have probably heard that neurons are the cells that transmit information around the body. But how does this work? Is it actual electricity? Like from the wall socket? What is a synapse? What happens there, in between one neuron and...

Let's Donate to ALS Research | Most EXTREME Ice Bucket Challenge

This video explores the fascinating phenomenon of how our perception of light and dark objects can be influenced by the background they are presented on.

What is cognitive robotics? How do you model human intelligence?<br/>
Understanding Human Psychology Through Robots with Prof. Angelo Cangelosi, Part 1

David Kaplan and his team at Tufts University School of Engineering are bringing science fiction to life by building miniature brains and keeping them alive for several months.

In this video, we explore the biosynthesis of the 2 major endocannabinoids: anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoyl-glycerol (2-AG).

This video tutorial defines dermatomes, how they are tested and why they are clinically important: 0:00. Introduction 0.14. Defining dermatomes 0:31. Clinical use of the term "dermatome" 1:01. Embryological use of the term "dermatome"...

In this video, we explore Huntington’s disease: the pathogenesis, the signs and symptoms, and the mechanism as it relates to the basal nuclei in great detail.

In this video, we explore the concept of lateral inhibition, which is the process by which neighboring neurons in our brain pathway inhibit each other. This phenomenon enhances our visual system's ability to respond to edges of a...

Prions | The General Mechanism of Prion Formation and Disease

For a century, scientists thought migraines were a vascular disease. But now it is thought that migraines are related to a wave of overactive neurons that spreads across the brain, which in turn affects blood vessels. Researchers hope to...

In this video, we explore the structure, physiology, and sensation relayed by the spinothalamic pathway.

Almost one in twenty people will experience a seizure in their lifetime - but does having a seizure mean you have epilepsy? And what goes on in your brain when you're having a seizure, anyway? In this episode of Neuro Transmissions,...

Using amazing new technologies, evolutionary neuroscientist Melina Hale and her graduate students at the University of Chicago are discovering that the basic movements of one tiny fish can teach us big ideas about how the brain's...

Research done on fruit flies shows that a special batch of neurons sensitive to outer temperatures “suppresses” other neurons in charge of morning “activeness.”

Get an up-close look at how Darpa is developing a brain computer that will sit in or on the brain and eventually teach machines how to think and move just like us. See where the technology is heading and the advancements that have...

From the section: Deep Learning and Tensorflow: Part 1. In this section, we’ll talk about what Deep Learning is, and how TensorFlow works at a low level.



Deep Learning and Tensorflow: Part 1: [Activity] Improving our...

In this video, we explore the following as it pertains to cranial nerve III; specifically, the oculomotor nerve’s parasympathetic component: Origin Anatomy Functions Pathway to the eye

This video explains the anatomy and physiology behind male erections, including the role of psychological and tactile stimulation, the parasympathetic nervous system, and the erectile tissues within the penis. The video also discusses...

Asking the question of how the brain works, this video focuses on the debate between cerebral localisation and environmental learning. Does your brain have specialist zones, or does your brain adapt to circumstances?

Alcohol is a double-edged sword. Benjamin Franklin once said, "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." However, some people say that drinking three beers means losing 10,000 brain cells. But is it true that alcohol...

This video talks about the neuron and perceptron.

This clip is from the chapter "Deep Neural Network Overview" of the series "Deep Learning CNN: Convolutional Neural Networks with Python".This section focuses on the overview...

Imagine you are reading something for a school assignment, a novel, or a technical summary of the country’s current economic situation. But you suddenly realize that you are only reading the words without absorbing anything. In other...

From the section: Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This section introduces Artificial Neural Networks. You will learn about Neural Network for Binary Classifications, Neural Network with PCA for Binary...
