So I hope I've convinced you the brain is there and evolved to control movement.

And finally, I want to remind you, when you see animals do what look like very simple tasks, the actual complexity of what is going on inside their brain is really quite dramatic.

CA: So you think that people thinking about the brain, and consciousness generally, could get real insight by saying, where does movement play in this game?

Now, this doesn't have a brain, it doesn't have a neural system.

Humans have long held a fascination for the human brain.

So let's take a look at the brain.

Most people, when they first look at a fresh human brain, they say, "It doesn't look what you're typically looking at when someone shows you a brain."

Typically, what you're looking at is a fixed brain.

And this outer layer, this is the vasculature, which is incredible, around a human brain.

Scientists, sort of at the end of the 20th century, learned that they could track blood flow to map non-invasively where activity was going on in the human brain.

So for example, they can see in the back part of the brain, which is just turning around there.

So if you take a deeper look at the brain, one of the things, if you look at it in cross-section, what you can see is that you can't really see a whole lot of structure there.

So the outer part of that brain is the neocortex.

So there's about 86 billion neurons in our brain.

And of course, as I mentioned before, since we can now start to map brain function, we can start to tie these into the individual cells.

Each neuron is connected via synapses to up to 10,000 other neurons in your brain.

The unique character of both individual neurons and neurons within a collection of the brain are driven by fundamental properties of their underlying biochemistry.

This maps the large cabling in the brain.

The brain is removed from the skull, and then it's sliced into one-centimeter slices.

From this, we're able to then fragment that brain into further pieces, which then we can put on a smaller cryostat.

Now we do this over and over again, this process for any given brain.

We're taking over a thousand samples for each brain.

So roughly, we have 50 million data points for a given human brain.

So now we can look throughout the brain.

And what we're finding is actually, even at the brain biochemical level, we are quite similar.

So I think it's an important message to take home today that even though we celebrate all of our differences, we are quite similar even at the brain level.

So I'm going to leave you with a final note about the complexity of the brain and how much more we have to go.

And so for those who are undaunted, but humbled by the complexity of the brain, the future awaits.

Where does this intelligence of knowing that a fold can actually hold more information, so as you actually watch the baby's brain grow.

Those air vibrations are traveling to you, they're hitting your eardrums, and then your brain takes those vibrations from your eardrums and transforms them into thoughts.
