The Brain - Videos

The Brain - Videos: excellent educational videos on the human brain - how it works, breaks down, illnesses, etc. I particularly enjoyed a video on "learning as synaptic change". The researchers communicate that learning (whether it's a word, concept, or other process) involves a physical change in the circuitry of the brain - that learning actually leaves a biological trail in the brain. But learning is not only about creating new connections; it's also about deconstructing existing connections, a concept the researchers referred to as "streamlining connections".
