I have watched a video on the brain a few times over to try and understand it but I have have only watched this video once and I've answered all my exam questions. Will definitely recommend this channel to everyone

This channel is literally my saviour. I have GCSE’s this year and in my last mocks I discovered this channel. Safe to say I went from 4-5 to 7-6 in a few months. Thank you so much!! I am confident your videos will get me through the GSCE! :)

[kalapufyeshikongo]

Your channel has been so helpful since day 1, keep up the good, your efforts are highly appreciated 💯👏

[royobbshorts]

what a great lesson finished in about 6 mins, which is like 10x less than a irl lesson.

also isnt it crazy we don't know our own body, but somehow our body knew to evolve to be like this. makes you think, doesn't it.

Petition for cognito to do a course in GCSE psychology

[mrx]

I've always wondered how the brain evolved in the first place. What did the very first brain look like? What evolutionary events set the course in motion for a 3 pound lump of flesh containing 86 billion neurons to exist?
