The Brain | Lobes, corpus callosum, and cerebellum

Wow! This episode has some great facts and information! Such as:

- Brain metabolism (sugar, lactate, and ketones)

- Frontal lobe (Phineas Gage getting a rod through his head, motor cortex, dementia, and Broca's aphasia - inability to create words)

- Parietal lobe (Sensory cortex, phantom limb, neuroplasticity, disowning your own body parts)

- Temporal lobe (memory, learning, epilepsy and religious experiences, Wernicke's aphasia - word-salad)

- Occpital lobe (interpreting vision, visual disorders)

- Insula (food avoidance after food poisoning)

- Corpus Callosum (Split brain experiment, separating consciousness, confabulation)

- Cerebellum (proprioception, balance, cerebral ataxia, walking on all four limbs, getting drunk) Want to support us? Consider becoming a Dr Matt & Dr Mike Club member for $7 per month! https://plus.acast.com/s/dr-matt-and-dr-mikes-medical-podcast-2.
