CrashCourse
In this episode of Crash Course Psychology, we get to meet the brain. Hank talks us through the Central Nervous System, the ancestral structures of the brain, the limbic system, and new structures of the brain. Plus, what does Phineas Gage have to do with all of this?

I hope the team at Crash Course creates another psychology course. It's been 11 years and there's been a lot of research published in the field of cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience. Alternatively, I'd love a Neuroscience course.

I am going back to college in 3 days to get my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have been out of college for 7 years. I was trying to remind myself of everything I learned 7 years ago. These videos are super entertaining. Thank you for review and for making it entertaining! This time I intend to get my Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, and Doctorate degree in Psychology. I am super excited to go back to college!
Cat loves phrenology exams and ear scritches

Everyone here is talking about how these videos are helping them as psychology students. I'm not even there yet I'm just an ambitious 8th grader
Poor Phineas!!! Such a gross story
What is the difference between mind and the brain ?
Oh you did my guy Franz Gall dirty 🙁
So the brain is basically controlling this meat suit that we call a human… SO BASICALLY, my brain is watching a video about itself and learning new things about itself
"Ooohh that doggy is soft…"
Makes my day
Realised halfway through that I was completely distracted by Hank's t shirt. Please tell me it says, "Ceci n'est pas un corn dog."
the innocent one from the game persona 5 but with no corn dog
this whole time i was watching and he’d say sum like this controls ur sense of touch. i’d touch things to use that part of my brain while learning abt it. it helped me remember
Back at arts Agian! Shabang wow! 🤡🌸
Seeing it though
these videos are almost identical to every lecture ive been to in order shit clutch asf
HAHAHAHAH 3:52😭😭
I guess Phineas Gage couldn't quite… GUAGE the outcome of what he was doing with that rod 😛 WAHAHAHAHAA!!! too soon?
Im learning biology the full these days. But I really interested in psychology and this crash course and hank made me more interested in the field. Im still learning so can anyone in here tell me how to build your career in this field.
Seee Jungle to steer in direction but true say whole video – specifically brain system and what they do
Morgan Freeman lied to me!!!
