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.

Enlightening talk! Thanks!

We must trust who our child IS , and NOT who or what WE think he or she should be or what the world wants them to be ; this is perhaps the single GREATEST GIFT a parent can give a child . FAITH in our child's OWN DESTINY and in the destiny of his or her SOUL . This is the one ingredient that will make the BIGGEST difference in our parenting . A hug is MORE what a child wants than an i-phone .

The brain is the most fascinating and complex organ of the human body.

She is good. Half of you profs can't teach, they just know. But, She SURE can TEACH.

finally, been looking for something like this for awhile.

When you don’t know what true for you, everyone else has unusual influence. Values are deeply held personal beliefs that form your own priority code for living. Values are the individual biases that allow you to decide which actions are true for you alone. What are your values?

Great teacher.

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"

wow, i want to go to this university!

I can say that a mom's brain is the greatest brain in the world.

why haven't you said anything about neural tube,neural crest cells,neuroblast.I want detail embryology.

good stuff

very interesting!

Hi my name is Joel I do welding Art and would like to use some life science cell images of your presentation for my art piec.How can I use some images of your work?

The real Joan Stiles

she hasn't talked anything about neural tube development,neuroblast cells and neural crest cells.she does not know the embryology by Lagman.

got here from saylor

Only God could think of this and design it! Give him Praise!

lol. that is the best comment you could have come up with as a reply?

A single human brain is as complex as all the leaves on all the trees in the amazon forest? (4:00) Sophisticated enough to recognize a sleazy sales pitch when it hears one surely. So next Q is; once this brain gets all the food it wants, what then? Pull another planet out of its A-hole? & how will that 1 compare to this?

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.

GOD invented the human body. don't deny it.you know it deep inside you.
