Neuroscience

Learn how the amygdala, sensory pathways, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus, brainstem, body, and learning contribute to fear.

Learn how the hypothalamus, brainstem, lamina terminalis, hormones, nerves, reward, learning, and sensory cues regulate eating and drinking.

Learn how thermoreceptors, the preoptic hypothalamus, brainstem, autonomic nerves, hormones, muscles, skin blood flow, sweating, and behavior regulate temperature.

See how distributed brain networks connect sounds, signs, words, meaning, grammar, and speech—and why Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas are only part of the story.

Learn how the brain represents options, estimates value, weighs uncertainty, selects an action, and learns from the result.
