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

Money makes the whole world go around, but some of them have a hell of a lot more of it than others. Who, I hear you ask? Well watch this video to find out!

This video explains how the brain processes visual information and what happens to the visual areas of the brain when someone is blind. It also explores neuroplasticity and how the brain can reorganize itself in response to blindness,...

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

The neuron. It is perhaps the most important cell in the human body. We have billions in our body and together they form a superhighway that sends information throughout our mind and body. But can you name the different parts? Alie...

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...

This video highlights the benefits of learning new skills and provides strategies for effective learning. It explains how our brain changes when we learn and emphasizes the importance of distributed practice, experiential learning, and...

This human body video lesson is all about the different parts of the brain and what they do. Students will love this engaging and interactive video.This video serves as a great introduction or review video for your learners.

In this program viewers will learn about the three key components of the nervous system -- the brain, spinal cord and nerves -- all made up of special cells called neurons that transmit electrical impulses throughout the body. They'll...

Let's do a quick review of the human brain, introduce a couple new things, and be right on our way learning about brain function and behavior!

Many animals, from insects to humans, are social. Their brains have evolved to be sensitive to sensory cues that carry social information, such as: speech sounds, pheromones and visual cues. But very little is known about how...

From skiing down a steep mountain, to playing the piano, the nervous system enables us to accomplish remarkable tasks. This video focuses on the amazing structures in the nervous system that allows humans to maintain and carry out a wide...

There are 3 different types of neuron, or nerve cell; the sensory neuron which detects the signal, the relay or intermediate neuron, and the motor neurons which trigger the response. We will also look at how synapses work; transmitting...

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...

This video serves as an educational lesson on the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It covers the structure of the PNS, including its major subdivisions - sensory neurons and motor neurons.

Polina Anikeeva hopes to one day be able to regenerate the spinal cord to restore movement for paralyzed people or possibly bypass the spinal cord altogether with a device that mimics its function. With support from the National Science...

Imagine having the ability to manipulate light waves in order to see through a skull right into the brain, or being able to use lasers to diagnose a bacterial infection in a matter of minutes. At the Center for Biophotonic Sensors and...

About 1 out of every 14 people suffers from depression. What causes depression in the brain? Is depression inherited? And importantly, does depression medication work? In this video, we discuss the cause of depression, the changes in the...
