This is interesting. I have two questions. 1) How does this relate to evolution? Is evolution just a process of adding neurons? Is adapting to environments just a process of gaining more neurons?
2) As a trauma therapist, I use the concepts of lizard, mammal and human brains as metaphors to help clients understand how parts of their brain work together and change with trauma. I'm clear it's metaphorical but since they're just trying to rewire their brains so they aren't scared all the time, they aren't interested in technicalities. Do you have better metaphors or another simple way to explain it to people client healing from trauma? Thank you!

Bom dia professora... Muito legal o video. Tenho muito interesse nessa area de neurociência e vontade de colaborar com essa area. Sou aluno da UFRJ da área de Exatas e no momento atuo como analista de dados para o LASA (Laboratório de aplicações de Satélites Ambientais - UFRJ) analisando dados de Aerossóis.
Apesar de ajudar a Meteorologia, eu tinha msm é muita vontade de atuar em projetos com o pessoal da Neurociência kkkkk Por onde começar? Sana essa dúvida ai desse aluno curioso professora kkkk

Very nice! My neuroanatomy professor (Gerhard Roth) in the 80ies told us, too. He liked to make fun of the concept and others like the "encephalisation index".
