Description:

This is what a real human brain looks like. Dr Jill Taylor brings out an actual human brain complete with the spinal cord and nerves to show the incredible complexity of what makes us who we are. She explains how every thought, emotion, and movement starts right here. Have you ever seen a real human brain before?

Video Transcription

Speaker 2

This is a real human brain and spinal cord.

And it would be positioned in my head like this.

Front of the brain.

Back of the brain coming down, hanging down as the spinal cord.

And these are the nerves that are actually going to go down into your lower extremity.

So all the information that's going to go down into your lower extremity to control your body is controlled.

And the sensory information is coming in through those nerve fibers.

Speaker 1

It looks like a bunch of wires.

Speaker 2

It does.

Well, you know, we are quite a well-designed machine in its own way.

The difference is we are organic, we are biological.

And I think one of the biggest mistakes that we make as a society is we think ourselves, and we think ourselves as a machine, push it, push it, push it, push it, push it, push it.

Well, you can do that with a computer.

You plug it in and it stays on until you turn it off or it blows up.

We have to go to sleep.

It's okay.

We won't hurt it.

Speaker 1

Wow.

Speaker 2

We hope.

Speaker 1

Gosh.

Speaker 2

Beautiful.

Our design, such a masterpiece.

We are this massive conglomeration of 50 trillion molecular geniuses making up our form.

Beautiful.

Speaker 1

It's so crazy that every single person listening right now has one of these.

It's processing my voice as you're hearing my voice.

That's right.

And it is this, for anyone that has never felt a brain before, which I imagine is most of you, it is like this very, very soft but dense sort of tofu-y, how would you describe the feeling?

Speaker 2

Pork roast.

Speaker 1

Pork roast.

Pork roast.
