The Central Nervous System: The Brain and Spinal Cord

The nervous system is extremely complicated, but we should definitely know the basics, so let's dive in! It is comprised of two main divisions, the central nervous system, and the peripheral nervous system. The first of these is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and since the human brain is literally the most complicated known object in the universe, we will just cover some introductory concepts. For more information on the brain, check out the upcoming biopsychology course! Otherwise just watch this for a few tidbits.

Thanks and hopefully they help me raise my grades !

    Hi Professor Dave! First, a big thank you for making all these amazing, elucidative videos that help me learn. But- please correct me if I'm wrong!- for the diagram where you showed different colored areas of the brain, I feel it's better that it is flipped horizontally to show the left hemisphere- Broca's and Wernike's areas reside there, rather than on the right hemisphere?

    I went through some of the comments and couldn't find a mention to this, so I'll make it mine. You're showing the right side of the brain. Broca's and Wernicke's areas were identified on the left side. I am not saying there aren't analogous regions on either side, just referring to the inaccuracy of calling out these areas on the right hemisphere, when they were identified in the left one. Otherwise, a nice lecture on the subject.

    I noticed that you say 'the left-brain right-brain personality type is a complete myth' It's actually not. For example, the extent to which your language processing is lateralized to either hemisphere is known to correlate to higher prevalence of ADHD, dyslexia and personality disorders. And there's plenty more examples to illustrate that left-brain/right-brain dominance is related to behaviours that can be considered to be party of our personality.
