0:01:02 > 0:01:03CRASHING

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Today's episode is all about the brain.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hi, everyone. Welcome to my show.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12Hey!

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Not that Brain. This brain.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Did you know that our brain is one of the most complex things

0:01:18 > 0:01:20in the entire known universe?

0:01:20 > 0:01:25Each brain is made up of lots of teeny tiny cells called neurons.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29I wonder how many neurons are in a human brain?

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Over 80 billion.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Can I come out now?

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Wow! 80 billion.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37One of the most amazing things about the brain

0:01:37 > 0:01:39is how much it can remember.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Hey, speaking of memory,

0:01:41 > 0:01:44you owe me 50 cents for that vanilla yoghurt I bought you yesterday.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46It was 25 cents

0:01:46 > 0:01:48and it was a blueberry yoghurt.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52It was 50 cents and I distinctly remember it was vanilla.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55HE SIGHS We'll talk about it later.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Did you happen to notice the strange things

0:01:57 > 0:01:59that just appeared in Buster's room?

0:01:59 > 0:02:00There were five of them.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02How many can you remember?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05We'll check back with you at the end of the show.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07I'll tell you what's strange,

0:02:07 > 0:02:09the amount of dirty socks in here.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Eurgh!

0:02:25 > 0:02:26PING!

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Oh, Brain, you've really outdone yourself this time.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Mwah-ha!

0:02:46 > 0:02:48What are you doing up?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- It's past midnight.- It is?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53I was so busy preparing for our spring egg hunt

0:02:53 > 0:02:56I lost track of time. I'd better get a flashlight.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58You can hide the eggs tomorrow morning.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00But the kids are coming at ten.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03I need time to find super challenging hiding spots.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Tomorrow, Alan.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Ah!

0:03:15 > 0:03:19It's the toughest egg hunt in all of Elwood City.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Once he hid an egg inside an orange

0:03:22 > 0:03:24and the peel wasn't even broken.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27I only found it because I got hungry.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Well, this Mr Brain has finally met his match.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- I'm the best finder in the whole wide world.- Oh, really?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36It's true. Mum says I have a gift.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39I can even find things before they're lost.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41That doesn't make any sense.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Well, I pinkie bet you...

0:03:45 > 0:03:47..two paperclips and a marker that smells like strawberries

0:03:47 > 0:03:50that I find more eggs than you.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53I'll see your two paperclips and a marker that smells like strawberries

0:03:53 > 0:03:56and raise you a giraffe sticker and a bendy straw.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57Deal.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02I can smell those strawberries now.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06The theme of this year's egg hunt is...

0:04:06 > 0:04:08great men and women of science.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Every egg has the name of a scientist on it.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Whoever finds the most scientist

0:04:13 > 0:04:18wins a most EGGCELLENT price.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20HE GIGGLES

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Huh.

0:04:22 > 0:04:27Give me a break. I woke up late and only had five minutes for puns.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29OK, ready, set,

0:04:29 > 0:04:30go!

0:04:38 > 0:04:39GRUNTING

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Sweet sassafras, it's a unicorn.

0:04:45 > 0:04:46Where?

0:04:48 > 0:04:49Gr-rr!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Oof!- Thanks!

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Gr-rr!

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Kepler, Niels Bohr and Marie Curie.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06Vicita has three.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Those are rocks, not eggs.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13- HE SIGHS - Tommy and Timmy, zero.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15- BOTH:- Ow!

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- I got seven.- I got seven, too.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well, I guess we have a tie for the win...

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Wait! Who got Pierre Paul Broca?

0:05:26 > 0:05:29The 19th-century French doctor instrumental in discovering

0:05:29 > 0:05:31that different areas of the brain have different functions?

0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Nice try.- So, you mean there's still one more egg out there?

0:05:38 > 0:05:40He's probably buried it.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- I bet it's under his sweater. Fork it over.- Hey!

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Cut it out. It's not in either of those places.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's... Um. It's...

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Now, where did I put Broca?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Was it in that black hole?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55No, that's where I put Stephen Hawking.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59For the life of me I can't remember where I put Broca.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Think, Mr Brain, think!

0:06:01 > 0:06:04There's a marker that smells like strawberries at stake here.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12I'll remember, I just need a little peace and quiet.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17It's in here somewhere, Brain. I just have to find it.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28Broca, Broca. A pioneer in the study of the brain.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Hm, where should I...

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Oh!

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Ah!

0:06:32 > 0:06:36Huh? I don't remember there being any hole here.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Argh!

0:06:42 > 0:06:43Where am I?

0:06:51 > 0:06:53"You are here."

0:06:53 > 0:06:54Huh.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56I guess I'm inside my own head.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59And I must be standing on my brain.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's got to be around here somewhere.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Let's just start digging.- No, stop! No digging in my brain.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06THEY STRAIN

0:07:06 > 0:07:07Let go of my pickaxe!

0:07:08 > 0:07:13That was pretty sneaky of you, hiding the egg in your own head.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17It's not in my head. It's in the yard somewhere.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18THEY SCREAM

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Great. Now we're stuck inside my brain.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Let's ask that hippo if she knows where the egg is.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30Hello!

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Welcome to Brain's brain. How may I help you?

0:07:34 > 0:07:37I must confess, I'm a little disappointed.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39I thought the inside of my brain would be bigger.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Oh, it is!

0:07:42 > 0:07:46You're just in the tiny area here called the hippocampus

0:07:46 > 0:07:48within the temporal lobe.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49See.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53The brain is made up of tonnes of sections which all do

0:07:53 > 0:07:57separate things but also work together to produce movement,

0:07:57 > 0:08:02thoughts, feelings. It's a wonderful place to work.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Although I haven't had a vacation in nine years.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08This is really interesting but we're kind of in a rush.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11We're in the middle of an egg hunt and he can't remember where

0:08:11 > 0:08:13he put the last one.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Well, memory is a very tricky thing.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19We do store a lot of memories here.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23But in order to retrieve the memories you'll have to visit

0:08:23 > 0:08:25other parts of the brain.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Oh, I better get you a guide.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Pavel! Report to the hippocampus, please.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33You have a tour waiting.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Hello, I am Pavel.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Tour guide bat from Czech Republic.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44What on Earth is a Czech bat doing in my brain?

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Just means you're getting batty.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48OK, now we go.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Please keep hands at sides while moving through the blood vessels.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53THEY SCREAM

0:08:58 > 0:09:00We are now in brain stem.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Very important part of brain which controls body functions

0:09:03 > 0:09:06like heartbeat and breathing.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08And movements in eyes and face.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12So what would happen if I pressed these?

0:09:12 > 0:09:13THEY GIGGLE

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Hey, cut it out! Quit making my face move.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23OK. Now we go to frontal lobe.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Very advanced part of brain.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37This is part of brain where thinking is happening

0:09:37 > 0:09:38and decisions are made.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm getting a message from the pleasure centre.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Brain wants to go downstairs and eat a cookie.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46Issuing command.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Wait, I just got a signal that Brain thinks maybe

0:09:48 > 0:09:52- he should wait till after dinner. - But he also wants that cookie.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- I'm issuing the command.- No, don't!

0:09:55 > 0:10:00- It's just empty calories.- Let go. He needs that cookie now.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01Look at them.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04They're like the Tibbles. Stop fighting and look for the egg.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Can we go straight to the place for memories?

0:10:07 > 0:10:08I got to get home soon.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10THEY STRUGGLE

0:10:10 > 0:10:12He wins. Give Brain the cookie.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Now we're back in temporal lobe.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20But different area from hippocampus.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24This area of brain has many long-term memories.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26I remember that.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29That was when I hit the winning run against Mighty Mountain last year.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Oh, yeah. And that was from my superstitious phase. Let's move on.

0:10:36 > 0:10:41- Huh? When did that happen?- Hey, I think I found something.- The egg.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45Quick, paint the next panel. We have to see where he put them.

0:10:45 > 0:10:50- I'll help.- No! This is memory from today. The paint is still wet.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- It is very dangerous to tamper with it.- Stop!

0:10:53 > 0:10:55You're going to damage something.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56THEY SCREAM

0:10:58 > 0:11:00CRASHING

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Um... We were just looking for the bathroom.- Kitchen.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13I'm sorry but I still don't remember where I put Pierre Paul Broca.

0:11:13 > 0:11:18All I remember is this crazy dream with a Czech bat and...

0:11:18 > 0:11:22Wait a minute. My brain was trying to tell me, check the bat house.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29- That's amazing. - Great. So, it's still a tie.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31You two can share the prize.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35It's a two-volume set of Sir Isaac Newton's Arithmetica Universalis.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37It's a great read.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Huh. Now, where did I put it?

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Hey, welcome back.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Did you remember the five strange objects? They were...

0:11:46 > 0:11:47A flying banana.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48A sombrero.

0:11:48 > 0:11:49A chicken.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51A rake.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52And an umbrella.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54How many did you get right?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Aren't brains amazing?

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Both kinds.
