What are we going to do today brain?

Throughout the past two weeks the University decided to fill the gap between exams with neuroscience. As dubious as I was that my revision time would be taken up by further new topics, I have grown to really like the subject, mainly thanks to our fabulous lecturer. We have done everything from MRI scans to disection of sheep brains and a little bit of cartoons in the middle.


Anyway, to begin and end this wee course, we were shown a nice little cartoon of 'Pinky and The Brain'. As well as being a very funny cartoon about two mice trying to take over the world, they have aparently provided us with an educational section. All singing, all dancing. You should be able to find it at the link below:

Be warned though, the tune WILL get stuck in your brain!
