How the Brain Works Part 2 (UCLA)

How the Brain Works
These brief videos provide an introductory appreciation of how we learn skills and information, move, think, feel, speak and remember. They are brought to you by the UCLA Brain Research Institute and by Bruce H. Dobkin, MD, who directs the neurorehabilitation program in the Department of Neurology at UCLA. The videos especially aim to reach out to students in grade school to stir their interest, and to people with disabilities in walking, using an affected upper extremity, and loss of memory from neurological diseases such as stroke, brain trauma, tumors, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Parkinsons, and Alzheimers disease.

Video 1:
General organization of a real human brain.

Video 2:
The pathology of brain injuries and diseases. Rat versus human brain complexity. How do we reach for a ball? How do we walk?

Video 3:
How does practice enable us to learn and retain skills and information?

Video 4:
How can we drive the nervous system to adapt in ways that help restore lost skills after injury from disease? Can we reorganize the brains connections?

i like nice, smooth, glistening, tan surfaces.

hey what's funny is if in the video list to the right, you see part 3 listed above part 1 of this series, then you'll see sort of a window where this guy looks like he's standing behind. ya know, since his head and shoulders is shown in part 3 thumbnail and waist and arms in part 1 thumbnail. i just thought that was interesting.

UCLA Health is an educational channel suited for students in the medical field.

@xamire Yes, if I understand the theory I honestly can and likewise the vast majority of the world's biological scientists can and indeed do.

Evolution? Can you honestly look at the complexity, and magnitude of the human brain and claim that it accidentally happened? Yea neither can I.
