Mr. Pépinot, you're a dunce.

Almost nobody gets out of love alive.

It's also, by the way, a characteristic of certain kinds of brain damage.

One of the brain regions that changes most dramatically during adolescence is called prefrontal cortex.

You shameless rat!

And not only that, the brain is profoundly asymmetric. Drawing of the brain, Yakovlevian torque brain viewed from below

Your own brain function is interfering with the process.

If you had half a brain you'd be dangerous!

It's difficult to say when every cell in the body ceases to have life.

From there the activity moves through the short term memory areas and then to the front of the brain, the part actually involved in thinking.

So this is a model of the human brain, and this is prefrontal cortex, right at the front.

They're there because there's this very close interaction.

Henry, goddamn it!

If you know it, you're smarter than anybody on planet Earth.

I should have broken it over your skull!

I'm gonna eat your brains... and gain your knowledge.

As you might know, a stroke is a brain injury.

So here's how it looks. Look at the region there.

So what happens when we pay attention is that the prefrontal cortex, the sort of executive part of our brains, sends a signal that makes a little part of our brain much more flexible, more plastic, better at learning, and shuts down activity in all the rest of our brains.

So this particular model is entirely self consistent because it's made itself so.

So what is the picture that we get here?

And it's not just computers.

No brain.

It's a brain.

The brain?

Two heads are better than one.

Here's my brain.

What does he mean by my brain?

Even Charlie Kaufman's unusually original film

Your brain, huh?

The brain surgeon.

He had a stroke.

But subsumption means that the higher brain can interfere with the lower.

They are actually more likely to have prior history of concussions.

But somewhere in that hard drive you call a brain... is a beeping message

They wanted to know

So to make the experiment,

So how do you get to be the happiest man in the world?

To hell with Pacific Aerodyne!

I've got the brain.

Looks like a nobrainer.

Much as our brains

liquid brains. Oh.

It restarts the brain?

Their groundbreaking technology records the EEG, or the electrical activity of the brain, in real time, allowing us to watch the brain as it performs various functions and then detect even the slightest abnormality in any of these functions vision, attention, language, audition.
