    Brain development is 100% the product of nature and 100% the product of nurture. J.S.

    Your comment is useless. During her introduction, it’s stated about 1:00 in “…those of you in the audience who are high school students and thinking of coming to UCSD”. I think the fact that she explains what neurons are at the outset of her lecture gives an idea of what medical knowledge may be necessary to understand the coming lecture.
    That being said, it’s a good intro to the material but, if you want something more advanced, this isn’t going to suit your needs.

    sorry for the negative criticism, but guyguysly is right. this could be a very interesting lecture for somebody in highschool or something, but if you are a medical student who say, just started to study neuroanatomy and want some help to understand the development of the brain, or the function, this isnt what your looking for. probably shes reading becouse she wrote everything down in a way everybody understands it, but this way and becouse of the tone it becomes monotone and “boring”

    She is a knowledgeable and intelligent lady. She is reading not because she does not know the subject matter. She is reading because she is nervous about the presentation. I know my own subjects that I am passionate about. Yet I am unable to do this type of presentation without a major tele prompting experience or reading from a paper. She seems to be a similar case. This lecture is awesome. Just don’t look at her and it will be great. She has a beautiful voice and great content for beginners.

    I think it was a good lecture too. The most basic theories and ideas presented in a clear, comprehensible and accessible way. Thanks for posting

    The rats are jumping ship.

    CHEMRISK – a research company hired by the Corn Refiners Association has recently taken down it’s YouTube channel.

    The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the discovery of dangerous levels of MERCURY in HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.

    See one of the last remaining ChemRisk videos at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.

    I think this was a good lecture.

    It might not be an interesting presentation for professionals in this field but was certainly a good one for the general public. I wonder what the target group for this series of lectures was?

    Yawn! Good data and theories, both basic and advanced, yet very boring, almost monotone presentation of it. If this speaker has worked with this for a good portion of her life, and has played a key role in research towards it, then why can’t she deliver it with that same passion? Most scientists, and professors who do more research than instruction, are unable to give good presentations. They “lecture” instead of “presenting”, and they are “confronting” the audience instead of “involving” it.

    Scientists? Ugh….ok.

    Have you even bothered to Google or Youtube anything on the topic of “brain surgery”?

    what a waste of time. Can’t believe someone who’s supose to be so highly regarded can’t take her eyes of the page to explain something she’s been working on for decades. plus if anyone, even a first year grad did any research on the brain, would realize that scientists still have no clue about how it all works. not even A clue. its just a bunch of theories in classrooms, just like hers.
