Miss Ronley has the sex appeal of an angleworm.

Wormfodder in your wooden coffin...

Little woodenhead go play your part

The earthworm wriggled when I touched it.

The new brain is actually kind of easier than the old brain.

My little woodenhead

So what happens when we pay attention is that the prefrontal cortex, the sort of executive part of our brains, sends a signal that makes a little part of our brain much more flexible, more plastic, better at learning, and shuts down activity in all the rest of our brains.

And that's just a mouse brain it's a lot smaller than a human brain.

There is about 20 regions of the brain that have been modeled, simulated and tested the auditory cortex, regions of the visual cortex cerebellum, where we do our skill formation slices of the cerebral cortex, where we do our rational thinking.

The old brain is still there. You still have that alligator brain.

At the present time, my collaborators and I, what we're aiming for is much more modest just to find partial connectomes of tiny chunks of mouse and human brain.

This boy is crazy!

There's another simulation of the cerebellum that's more than half the neurons in the brain again, works very similarly to human skill formation.

So the outer part of that brain is the neocortex.

I'II knock your block off!

We found activity in a tiny, little factory near the base of the brain called the ventral tegmental area.

This was a woman who didn't have trouble with her eyes, but the visual parts of her brain, a little tumor in the occipital cortex.

Now, am I saying that a sizable minority of the world's population has had their brain hijacked by parasitic ideas?

And so as the sensory input comes in and feeds from the old brain, it also goes up into the neocortex. And the neocortex is just memorizing.

It's a little brain worm.

Miss Lord, you've got rocks in your head.

That little head is dying to know.

Your tongue is old but sharp, Cicero. Be careful how you waggle it.

Just very simply, the three parts of the brain the frontal lobe, where you focus your attention and concentration you have the temporal lobe, where you form images and keep memories and the posterior part of your brain, which contains the cerebellum, which controls motion and the brain stem, where you have your basic maintenance functions, like heartbeat and respiration.

Our newest brain, our Homo sapien brain, our neocortex, corresponds with the what level.

They're both wonderful and largely the same, except that computers happened in between.

Call it acute congestion of the stomach and brain.

It turns out you can train the brain of such an individual this is a small population of such individuals train equally intensively for about 30 hours.

And here's inside the brain.

And I'm going to represent the neocortex here, by this box that's sticking on top of the old brain.

And there are a few other land dwellers that can make light some insects, earthworms, fungi but in general, on land, it's really rare.

This is actually the artery that goes from your neck to your brain.

The brain is intentionally by the way, there's a shaft of nerves that joins the two halves of the brain called the corpus callosum. It's thicker in women.

He didn't write Little Red Laptop Computer or Little Red Dirt Devil.

And a neuron, well, that's smaller than brain.

The brain could grow, but the gut actually shrunk.

I mean, let's let the reader do a little work.

Is something going on in that funny little head of yours?

Why, you dumb, stupid little pot!

If a single horse is missing... mind your head.

Haven't I told you you're gonna get your melon opened?

It hooks up all parts of the brain.
