Each of these videos tells a part of the brain story (click on the photos)

​Dan Siegel shows a simple model of the brain to distinguish the functions of the brain stem, limbic, the neo cortex, and the pre-frontal cortex (PFC).

​David Rock explains why the rational is over-rated, the see-saw interaction between limbic and PFC, and how you can manage an unhelpful limbic response

​Dan Gilbert shows how the brain views change and concludes that "human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they are finished". 

Jill Bolte-Taylor explains how our right brain sees the world differently to the left, connecting better to our own limbic and to others.

​VS Ramachandran describes mirror neurons which allow us to experience what others are feeling - the mechanics of empathy (limbic resonance).

​Norman Doidge explains that neuroplasticity means the brain isn't "hard-wired". Developmental experiences literally change our brain structures.

"A lot of what we think is spectacularly wrong" Norman Doidge
