Broadcast — Mini-Psych: The brain - Simultaneously strong and fragile

The brain is a magnificent and superbly complex organ, and many key questions about its function remain unanswered. Learning objectives:

• To identify the basic neurobiological mechanisms and key brain regions—such as the amygdala and hippocampus—that are involved in mental illnesses;
• To distinguish between a neurological and a psychiatric illness;
• To learn about some of the more recent discoveries into how the memory works.
