Brain anatomy and function, an overview | Neuroscience basics
What's the function of the different lobes of the brain? Is brain death the same as death? What is phantom pain? Why does our brain looks like a shrivelled walnut? We all know that the brain is one of the most important organs in our body. But, do you know how it works? In this educational video, I'll explore these questions by giving you an overview of the anatomy and function of the brain. I'll go over the major parts of the brain: Cerebrum (frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobe), cerebellum and brainstem. Enjoy! I hope that this video makes neurology and brain anatomy easy (easier?) and can be of great value for medical students, nurses, USMLE, NCLEX.
