A generation has passed since this video first was made and there are still hundreds of people learning so much from this. Thank you you don’t know how much this helped!

@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles 2 года назад

I did make it quite a while ago. And yes, it is very cool to see how many people comment on it and are getting a lot from it even today. Makes me very happy.

@macirussell3857 3 года назад

I watched this video when I was in AP Psych as a junior in high school. Now, 7 years later, I'm learning Neuroscience in graduate school and came back to watch it again! What's crazy is I remembered almost all of them. So this is a double thank you (from back then and now)!

Hello Michael, I just want to say I have used your video at least once a year ever since I took AP Psych in my senior year in 2013. It is now 2022 and I am revisiting your video for a Neuroscience midterm exam in this Psychopharmacology course in my counseling graduate program. Thank you for this memorable video and wish me luck on the exam!

@georgettestillman 10 месяцев назад

When I took AP Psych senior year, teacher showed this video to our class in the spring of 2015 and it helped a bunch. Almost a decade later, I’m now preparing for my first year teaching intro and AP psych classes and I plan to show this to my students as well 😊

@joshuamangar6420 4 года назад

Re “tickle formation” was definitely the best one I loved how the doll started laughing definitely wasn’t expecting that. You should honestly make videos for Anatomy classes... which includes learning all the parts of the brain, all the bones, tissues, muscles, nerves etc

I graduated with my bachelors in psych in 2018 and used all of these mnemonics to pass my classes. Almost 3 years later and I can still use these to remember what all the parts of the brain do. THANK YOU! It helped me show off a bit in a training session today lol People’s jaws were dropped that I knew all of them! I had to tell them all about this video. Still so thankful!

@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles 3 года назад

Awww... thanks so much for this comment! Even I'm surprised at how long these mnemonics can stay in your head. Glad to hear that you were able to impress others at the training. Made my day! :)

Glad you liked the video. I'm also happy to see that you've made up your own mnemonic too. I've never heard of Gene LeBell so I couldn't have made that one up myself. Good for you.

Phenomenal use of mnemonic devices here, some of the best I’ve ever heard. This helped a lot, thank you.

@taisiaivanova8792 6 лет назад

Can't even begin to describe how much this has helped me! Not only did it finally made me memorize the brain functions, but also made me laugh.Your kids are so incredibly lucky to have you as a dad!

@EmpyreanLightASMR Год назад

Cortex - Texas hat, complex thinking Corpus Callosum - Sum of both parts, connects both sides, allows communication between both Thalamus - Hal & Amos, traffic directors, tells signals where to go Hypothalamus - Llamas being hypo'd with water, thirst, hunger, temperature (and sex drive!) Hippocampus - Hippo lost on campus, can't find his class, uses a compass to remember how to get to class. Memory Amygdala - Mig jet fighter = fear! Pons - Ponds, relaxation, calmness (my favorite mnemonic) Cerebellum - bells, think bell towers balanced high in the air, balance, motor control, athleticism Reticular Formation - tickle, wakes you up, arousal (awakeness) Medulla - medals hanging over your heart and lungs (second favorite mnemonic!) Thank youuu

@lanacarter1770 7 лет назад

Thank you so, so much! I have a Psychology exam coming up, and I needed to remember the parts of the brain... This made it so easy and fun!

@KristineHoward16 Год назад

Used this to study for my MCAT. Made it soooo much easier to remember the different parts. Thank you!!

@papillonikki 8 лет назад

This is great ! When we learn about memory in Psychology,they tell us all about Mnemonics but when we learn about the brain, it's taught such a dull and boring way and no one ever thinks to memorize it this way! Don't think i'm ever going to forget the parts now! Thanks!!

I watched this and remembered things from this video from when I was in MIDDLE SCHOOL. I am now in grad school, and watching this again. I love it. I have thought about this video all the time since I saw it first and prayed I could find it again. Thanks for this- you rock!

@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for your comment (though it does make me feel a little old...). It's amazing, isn't it? How with the right stimulus (a crazy, nutty image) can cement memories. It all surprises me sometimes. Thanks for your words.

really helped me a lot, remembering the brain functions has been a weak spot since the beginning of the semester a few months ago, now I have it all memorized within 19 minutes, thanks Mr. Britt, Silly but it works.

@lauradestroyer 4 года назад

you are a wonderful man. I was smiling all the way through that because it was so amusing, and I'm pretty sure I learned more than I have from the last three days I have been trying to memories the brain functions

@Heather_Morgan Год назад

All these years later, this is still one of my most favorite videos ever. I first saw this video on The Psych Files podcast. I loved it so much, so I was happy when it was uploaded to RU-vid. Then I could watch it again anytime and a lot more people could also see it and benefit from it. Not only does it make me laugh, but I've found this very helpful. I've remembered all these parts of the brain for years! Also, it helped me learn how to memorize other things by using this same technique. Thank you, Mr. Britt! 💕

She stalks me now and I had to get a restraining order; she showed up at my house the other day and {scared} me so bad that I yelled and ran away screaming ({fight or flight}).

That is such a kind comment Justin!I know from teaching Psychology for many years that students struggle with the brain parts. And now you're a neurobiology major?! Very cool. I'm glad you got so much out of the video.
