Cerebral Cortex

What this episode covers

Let's learn about the brain! In this episode, Dr. Michael Powers introduces the cerebral cortex including the four main lobes (and wait, is there maybe a 5th lobe?), differences between the left and right hemispheres, and the importance of the limbic system. If you've ever wondered where in the brain language is processed, memories are stored, commands for movement are generated, where incoming sensation is interpreted, or the role of emotions in memory consolidation then this episode is for you!
