  • Special needs

  • Quite compact for someone trying to get to know the Brain. Thank you, though the sound sometimes makes it hard to keep up with the presentation. Just some feedback for a future improved upload of this video perhaps :)

  • Thank you very much for uploading this video, it will be of great use to a lot of people, I'm sure.

  • @MrNikKane

    At the top of the diagram, it says 'FUNCTIONS.' Presumably, this is what the 'half-a-dozen-or-more' count is for. Your guess of 'systems' is pretty close.

  • Did the narrator record his voice by calling the guy doing the video on the telephone?

    Also *someone* must be responsible for cranking the music in between ideas. This person should be informed of his mistake.

  • CANNOT STAND THE MUSICAL INTERLUDES

  • Around 4:10 he says, about long-term memory, "There are many of them, perhaps half a dozen, perhaps more."

    What? Is he saying that we only have six specific long term memories? or is he saying that there are six different systems of long term memory? If so how do they differ? If not what the hell is he talking about with "half a dozen long-term memories"?

  • Great video, but I can't seem to find part 2.
