Summary
Ever stopped to think about your brain? We mean, really think.
Is your brain - or any brain, for that matter - better than others? Is there something in your brain that makes you you, as opposed to someone else? Certainly, what makes your brain any different from the brain of a mouse? Or a whale?
As you can imagine, there’s a lot going on inside our heads that we’re not aware of. Thankfully, we have neuroscientists out there whose entire mission is to better understand the perplexing nature of how the human brain works. And what they’ve discovered about the diversity of our brains could revolutionize not just science but also your own everyday life.
Encompassing 10 mind-blowing (pun intended) lectures, Big Questions of Neuroscience invites you on a profound journey into the secrets of the human brain. Guided by neuroscience professor Suzana Herculano-Houzel, you’ll investigate some of the most perplexing and misunderstood issues in this cutting-edge scientific field. For example: Can you actually train your brain to become more intelligent over time or are you stuck with the brain you’re born with? Why does it take so long for your human brain to develop and what might some evolutionary benefits be for that tardiness? How does our concept of self-awareness compare with that of a dog’s? If someone asked you to explain consciousness to them, how could you do so in a way that’s scientifically accurate?
Brace yourself for 10 epic conundrums that you’ll be thinking about for quite a while.

Buzzing in background
Couldn’t finish as consistent humming in background proved to be very distracting! This is a big shame because the content was probably very interesting!
