ABOUT YOUR BRAIN Lesson #1 THE BRAIN PARTS

Audio Transcript Auto-generated

• 00:00 - 00:02

  I am working to stem stories of this Ewing.

• 00:03 - 00:05

  This is part one of seven parts.

• 00:05 - 00:11

  Siri's about your brain, an understanding your brain and half

• 00:11 - 00:14

  of your brain works and how you can actually learn,

• 00:15 - 00:24

  change or work your brain friends So the brain is

• 00:25 - 00:26

  a giant will, not a giant, but in the organ

• 00:27 - 00:30

  that is actually housed inside our skull.

• 00:30 - 00:33

  You know, the skull is made up about 23 different

• 00:33 - 00:37

  bones that, when you're born, are together and they slowly

• 00:37 - 00:40

  fuse. So let's jump in and learn a little bit

• 00:40 - 00:41

  about our brain.

• 00:42 - 00:47

  Now, brain is that spot where basically everything that our

• 00:47 - 00:52

  body does even be moving the hands around, talking, articulating,

• 00:53 - 00:54

  using the words that I use.

• 00:54 - 00:57

  So that was up here in our brain, things that

• 00:58 - 01:00

  we can't even control or we don't control, like our

• 01:00 - 01:05

  heartbeat. The way we breathe, how are organs actually run

• 01:05 - 01:08

  and function when we eat something, our brain is actually

• 01:08 - 01:12

  working our stomach without us even knowing it's doing all

• 01:12 - 01:14

  that work for us, it's actually a pretty cool organ.

• 01:15 - 01:20

  Now the brain is actually kind of like this.

• 01:20 - 01:23

  It's all these different folds, and it's made of many

• 01:23 - 01:24

  different parts.

• 01:25 - 01:27

  And all the different parts of our brain actually do

• 01:27 - 01:29

  different things for our body.

• 01:31 - 01:35

  No, but we did a scan of her brain.

• 01:36 - 01:38

  We'd actually be able to see deep inside and all

• 01:38 - 01:41

  the different parts and components and how it's made up.

• 01:41 - 01:43

  So if you notice it shows all the folds up

• 01:43 - 01:48

  here, But down here, we actually can look deeper into

• 01:48 - 01:50

  how our brain is sectioned off.

• 01:51 - 01:53

  And if you look at the upper right hand corner

• 01:54 - 01:57

  towards the bottom of that skull picture, it actually shows

• 01:58 - 01:59

  us some other components of our brain.

• 02:00 - 02:01

  Actually, really amazing.

• 02:03 - 02:04

  Amazing. Oregon.

• 02:05 - 02:09

  This is actually a photograph of my brain, the inside

• 02:09 - 02:10

  of my end.

• 02:10 - 02:12

  If you look at the very top of this picture,

• 02:13 - 02:14

  what do you think those white circles are?

• 02:16 - 02:16

  Those are my eyes.

• 02:17 - 02:19

  So this is a scan of my brain at about

• 02:20 - 02:22

  this level, it's kind of cool.

• 02:23 - 02:25

  And another picture inside my brain.

• 02:26 - 02:27

  Here's my side view again.

• 02:28 - 02:29

  What do you think?

• 02:29 - 02:29

  That pieces.

• 02:31 - 02:32

  Those are my eyes.

• 02:32 - 02:34

  And we could see how they are actually connected.

• 02:35 - 02:36

  Teoh, my brain.

• 02:37 - 02:38

  That's a pretty amazing organ.

• 02:39 - 02:42

  And inside the brain, here's another picture of my brain

• 02:43 - 02:46

  are a lot of blood vessels because it's super important

• 02:47 - 02:49

  that blood flow gets to our brain because that's what

• 02:49 - 02:53

  brings the oxygen in the blood sugar and keeps our

• 02:53 - 02:54

  brain functioning.

• 02:55 - 02:56

  And actually it looks like a big pile of worms

• 02:57 - 03:00

  doesn't. But that's what it looks like inside my brain.

• 03:01 - 03:05

  So the brain is made up of a multitude of

• 03:05 - 03:07

  different parts in different sections, and they all have very

• 03:08 - 03:12

  important roles, and they all work together to form all

• 03:13 - 03:16

  the functions that we will have to do during the

• 03:16 - 03:19

  day. So let's jump in and actually break our brain

• 03:19 - 03:23

  apart, will not physically break our brain brain apart, but

• 03:23 - 03:25

  to pull it apart so that we can understand the

• 03:25 - 03:29

  different components of our brain, we're gonna be using this

• 03:29 - 03:32

  diagram from when, indeed, because I thought it was really

• 03:33 - 03:36

  great. So this green section down here, the bottom is

• 03:36 - 03:36

  our brain stem.

• 03:37 - 03:40

  The brain stem is connected to our spinal cord, and

• 03:40 - 03:41

  if you reach around to the back of your neck,

• 03:42 - 03:44

  you can feel the those hard bones that make up

• 03:44 - 03:48

  our vertebrae in our spinal cord, which is about the

• 03:48 - 03:50

  size of our finger goes down the center that's connected

• 03:51 - 03:51

  to our brain stem.

• 03:52 - 03:56

  But our brain stem controls are breathing or heartbeat our

• 03:56 - 03:58

  facial expressions and a lot more.

• 03:58 - 04:02

  A lot of the things are voluntary muscles do, but

• 04:02 - 04:06

  a lot of our involuntary muscles are involuntary actions.

• 04:08 - 04:10

  Now, to the back of our brain is a cerebellum.

• 04:12 - 04:15

  The cerebellum helps you coordinate when you moved that your

• 04:15 - 04:19

  balance as a child, it's not as well developed because

• 04:19 - 04:22

  we haven't quite gotten our development of our balance done.

• 04:23 - 04:26

  But as we start to learn that we start to

• 04:26 - 04:28

  actually learn how to control our body and balance and

• 04:28 - 04:33

  move now above that still in the back is our

• 04:34 - 04:34

  A sip.

• 04:35 - 04:36

  It'll load hope.

• 04:36 - 04:40

  I'm saying that correctly, but that's what makes sense of

• 04:40 - 04:40

  what we see.

• 04:41 - 04:44

  So it's interesting that what we see here is actually

• 04:45 - 04:46

  translated back here.

• 04:47 - 04:49

  And if you're ever wondering about how our eyes actually

• 04:50 - 04:51

  work, it's really cool.

• 04:51 - 04:54

  Take a moment, step out and do a little research

• 04:55 - 04:59

  on how our eyes create those optical images and how

• 04:59 - 05:00

  your brain works.

• 05:00 - 05:01

  With that, it's really kind of cool.

• 05:03 - 05:05

  Now, in the very back right below.

• 05:06 - 05:11

  Between the cerebellum and our stem core, our brain stem

• 05:11 - 05:13

  is the temporal lobe.

• 05:13 - 05:16

  This is what makes sense of everything that we hear.

• 05:17 - 05:20

  No, it's interesting that goes in here, and it's connected

• 05:20 - 05:21

  very close.

• 05:23 - 05:24

  I love how all the pieces of her head are

• 05:24 - 05:30

  connected. Heard the back here at the very top is

• 05:31 - 05:35

  the parietal lobe that helps us perceive all the things

• 05:36 - 05:38

  we touch, taste and actually feel pain.

• 05:39 - 05:42

  So vary, sit back section back here.

• 05:43 - 05:48

  Now back over where we're talking back here is the

• 05:48 - 05:51

  tour Terry gland Super little tiny part of our brain.

• 05:52 - 05:57

  And that's what actually helps release all the hormones, actually

• 05:58 - 06:01

  give our body life now another section.

• 06:01 - 06:04

  We're gonna actually talk about the different brain hormones, but

• 06:04 - 06:09

  that little pituitary gland super important for hormonal release your

• 06:10 - 06:13

  oxytocin in your dopamine is your adrenaline all of those

• 06:14 - 06:17

  now in the center all the way.

• 06:17 - 06:19

  There is your hippo thalamus.

• 06:20 - 06:21

  Now you're hippel.

• 06:21 - 06:23

  Foulness is what helps you regulate temperatures.

• 06:24 - 06:27

  So if you're feeling cold, you're feeling hot also your

• 06:27 - 06:28

  hunger and your thirst.

• 06:29 - 06:32

  So if you're ever feeling Thursday, you can actually say,

• 06:33 - 06:37

  Hey, I need some water because my hypothalamus is telling

• 06:37 - 06:38

  me I'm thirsty.

• 06:42 - 06:44

  In the front of our brain is the frontal lobe.

• 06:45 - 06:48

  This is probably the most critical part of our brain.

• 06:49 - 06:53

  When it comes to learning, helps us reason, plan pay

• 06:53 - 06:57

  attention and actually helps us move very specific body parts.

• 06:58 - 07:00

  The colonel lobe is what's allowing me to do that.

• 07:00 - 07:05

  Right now, part of the frontal lobe is what we

• 07:05 - 07:09

  call the pre frontal lobe that has some very specific

• 07:10 - 07:15

  components and responsibilities for especially when it comes to learning

• 07:16 - 07:16

  and how we were.

• 07:17 - 07:21

  And then at the very center our brain going is

• 07:21 - 07:25

  the hippocampus, and it helps us actually retain those long

• 07:25 - 07:26

  term memories.

• 07:26 - 07:29

  So when we're learning, which is helping us here, we

• 07:29 - 07:31

  need to get that information into our hippocampus.

• 07:33 - 07:34

  Are Hempel campus or like a hippopotamus?

• 07:35 - 07:36

  Same kind of prefix.

• 07:37 - 07:39

  Our hippocampus is actually where we put those long term

• 07:39 - 07:41

  memories so that we recall it.

• 07:42 - 07:45

  So think about riding a bike once you learn how

• 07:45 - 07:47

  to ride the bike and properly and stay up.

• 07:48 - 07:49

  Remember, we're gonna use that part of our brain back

• 07:50 - 07:50

  here for balance.

• 07:51 - 07:54

  The hippocampus is going to help us remember how to

• 07:54 - 07:56

  ride that bike, so we pretty much never forget.

• 07:57 - 07:59

  We can go years without riding a bike.

• 07:59 - 08:01

  But when you get on it, you get campus is

• 08:02 - 08:04

  going to send out all those messages and say, That's

• 08:05 - 08:05

  how you get it done.

• 08:08 - 08:11

  Those are basically the components of your brain.

• 08:12 - 08:14

  Now, as we move through these seven parts of this

• 08:15 - 08:18

  Siri's, we're gonna learn some specifics about other parts of

• 08:18 - 08:18

  our brains.

• 08:19 - 08:22

  Are different parts of our brains in relating to learning

• 08:24 - 08:29

  and how we actually can overcome obstacles and train our

• 08:29 - 08:31

  brain to learn the things we want?

• 08:32 - 08:36

  It's all super important that we know our brain, and

• 08:36 - 08:39

  actually, we know the parts of our brain that does

• 08:39 - 08:40

  the work that we wanted to do.

• 08:42 - 08:44

  I know it's just a brain, but is it just

• 08:44 - 08:44

  a brain?

• 08:45 - 08:45

  It's much more important.

• 08:46 - 08:49

  So if you had to make a guess, what would

• 08:49 - 08:52

  you think is the most important part your brain?

• 08:54 - 08:58

  I know what I think having been inside or seeing

• 08:58 - 08:59

  inside my brain.

• 08:59 - 09:00

  Now you see it inside my brain.

• 09:01 - 09:06

  If your brain looks like mine, have you enjoyed learning

• 09:07 - 09:09

  a little bit about your brain
