Part 1 looks at the organization and general functions of the NS, including the following:
List the general functions of the NS
Describe the organization of the NS
List the major parts of the NS
Know the structure and function of neurons
Know the different types of neurons
Know the names and functions of all the neuroglia
Part 1 is composed of my lecture in both video and ppt format. As well as a video from Hank Green and Paul Andersen. Part 1 ends with "Term You Need to Know."

Two thirds of the population believes a myth that has been propagated for over a century: that we use only 10% of our brains. Hardly! Our neuron-dense brains have evolved to use the least amount of energy while carrying the most information possible -- a feat that requires the entire brain. Richard E. Cytowic debunks this neurological myth (and explains why we aren't so good at multitasking).

Hank talks about your central nervous system. In this episode we'll explore how your brain develops and how important location is for each of your brain's many functions.

The Curious Case of Phineas Gage. A railway worker in the 1800s, a iron rod passed through his head, and he recovered almost fully in a matter of months. I just wanted to tell you the story, no analysis or anything...it's just amazing, take what you want from it.
