Explore videos on movement and brain science, showcasing research, innovative therapies, and inspiring recovery stories. Learn how exercise, rehab, and cognitive training transform lives.
This video explores the groundbreaking concept of neuroplasticity, showcasing the brain's remarkable capacity to rewire itself in response to experiences, learning, and recovery from injuries. Through a compilation of scientific research and real-life stories, viewers will discover the endless possibilities of brain adaptation and the profound implications for therapy, rehabilitation, and enhancing cognitive functions.
Mastering any physical skill takes practice. Practice is the repetition of an action with the goal of improvement, and it helps us perform with more ease, speed, and confidence. But what does practice actually do to make us better at things? Annie Bosler and Don Greene explain how practice affects the inner workings of our brains. [Directed by Martina Meštrović, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Wonder Boy Audio].
What's the most transformative thing that you can do for your brain today? Exercise! says neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki. Get inspired to go to the gym as Suzuki discusses the science of how working out boosts your mood and memory -- and protects your brain against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
Neuroscientist Daniel Wolpert starts from a surprising premise: the brain evolved, not to think or feel, but to control movement. In this entertaining, data-rich talk he gives us a glimpse into how the brain creates the grace and agility of human motion.
The average 20-year-old knows between 27,000 and 52,000 different words. Spoken out loud, most of these words last less than a second. With every word, the brain has a quick decision to make: which of those thousands of options matches the signal? And about 98% of the time, the brain chooses the correct word. How is this possible? Gareth Gaskell digs into the complexities of speech comprehension. [Directed by Art Shot, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Stephen LaRosa].
Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness -- shut down one by one. An astonishing story.
Can we, as adults, grow new neurons? Neuroscientist Sandrine Thuret says that we can, and she offers research and practical advice on how we can help our brains better perform neurogenesis—improving mood, increasing memory formation and preventing the decline associated with aging along the way.
Neuroscientist Vilayanur Ramachandran outlines the fascinating functions of mirror neurons. Only recently discovered, these neurons allow us to learn complex social behaviors, some of which formed the foundations of human civilization as we know it.
Dr. Lara Boyd, physical therapist and neuroscientist, says After Watching This, Your Brain Will Not Be The Same at TEDxVancouver. Dr. Lara Boyd describes how neuroplasticity gives you the power to shape the brain you want. Our knowledge of the brain is evolving at a breathtaking pace, and Dr. Lara Boyd is positioned at the cutting edge of these discoveries. In 2006, she was recruited by the University of British Columbia to become the Canada Research Chair in Neurobiology and Motor Learning.
The human brain is puzzling -- it is curiously large given the size of our bodies, uses a tremendous amount of energy for its weight and has a bizarrely dense cerebral cortex. But: why? Neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel puts on her detective's cap and leads us through this mystery. By making "brain soup," she arrives at a startling conclusion.

The actor Emilia Clarke tells the story of surviving two brain aneurysms that struck just as “Game of Thrones” was making her a star.
SameYou is dedicated to bringing crucial changes to brain injury rehabilitation. Through research, innovation and education we hope to make personalised holistic care accessible to each survivor. But we can't do this alone. Emilia is inviting you to sign up to the 33 Steps to Brain Injury Recovery challenge.
The actor Emilia Clarke launched a new charity SameYou. The 33 Steps to Brain Injury Recovery challenge is a campaign that encourages people to support brain injury survivors by doing 33 minutes of activity each day. The challenge is designed to highlight the importance of supporting the brain, body, and spirit of those recovering from a brain injury.
This short film tells the stories of brain injury survivors from the survivors themselves
We asked them to tell us how they feel. Some of them have done this for the very first time. We applaud their courage for speaking out. We invite everyone to hear and understand the lived experiences of brain injury and find out what has helped people recover and what is needed to help so many more.
This is the most detailed scan of the human brain. It was made from a scan of BBC Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh's brain, carried out at Cardiff University. Engineers from Siemens used the latest computer tools to create these cinematographic 3D images. The technology is helping scientists understand how the brain functions, and gain insights into diseases such as dementia, epilepsy and MS.
In this video, Dr. Lori Desautels delves into the amygdala's function as the brain’s emotional control center. She illustrates how this key brain region triggers strong emotional reactions like anxiety, anger, and sadness, effectively "firing like fireworks" during intense emotional states. This engaging teaser provides a concise introduction to how the amygdala affects emotional responses and stress.
More than 40 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer's disease, and that number is expected to increase drastically in the coming years. But no real progress has been made in the fight against the disease since its classification more than 100 years ago. Scientist Samuel Cohen shares a new breakthrough in Alzheimer's research from his lab as well as a message of hope. "Alzheimer's is a disease," Cohen says, "and we can cure it."
