- Brain metabolism (sugar, lactate, and ketones)
- Frontal lobe (Phineas Gage getting a rod through his head, motor cortex, dementia, and Broca's aphasia - inability to create words)
- Parietal lobe (Sensory cortex, phantom limb, neuroplasticity, disowning your own body parts)
- Temporal lobe (memory, learning, epilepsy and religious experiences, Wernicke's aphasia - word-salad)
- Occpital lobe (interpreting vision, visual disorders)
- Insula (food avoidance after food poisoning)
- Corpus Callosum (Split brain experiment, separating consciousness, confabulation)
- Cerebellum (proprioception, balance, cerebral ataxia, walking on all four limbs, getting drunk)
