The Brain (The basics of the obvious lumpy bits)

This week let us follow in the footsteps of our neuroscientist predecessors, reviewing their discoveries that linked the physical anatomy of the brain to corresponding basic functions. Discoveries that were largely steeped in the concept of reverse engineering, linking brain damage to functional loss. What are the main subcomponents of the brain and basically speaking what do they do?

In today's episode, we will discuss the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum, and for each, we outline an overview of their very basic function. We review grey vs white matter, the cerebral cortex, and the major lobes of the brain mapping location and function as we go. Many more podcasts on this topic to come.
