This is the worst thing I ever had.

And that's a part of your brain that's designed to kind of critically judge and say, no, it's not safe.

It's not cool.

Push it away.

But the right hemisphere comes online with curiosity.

So people see these things and they go, oh, no, not my thing.

Or they go, oh, my gosh, that is like so cool.

Now, so you're still looking at that as that's one thing.

I don't look at it like that at all.

This is a brain, but what's important about this brain is our brain health, our brain abilities is 100 dependent on the cells that make up that brain.

So most people, many neuroscientists talk about the brain and how the brain does in the external world and the behavior.

and the neurotransmitter systems and all of that.

I go down to the raw data of the cells.

So I am a cellular neuroanatomist.

And so I care about the cells making up the nervous system.

And how do we interact with them?

How do we relate to them?

How do we care for them?

How do we feed them?

How do we provide for them so that they can be healthy so that I can live a whole brain life in a healthy way?
