1
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: The first time I heard about the brain, I think

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: my mind was blown up punintended. It was so fascinating.

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: I think I was twelve years old and my teacher

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: had given me an assignment about understanding the human brain,

5
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: and I was so motivated and I was so inspired.

6
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Your brain continues to grow in size, whether you're nine

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: or ninety nine. If we have an opportunity for the

8
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: brain to be a function at its speak, at all times,

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: and not just necessarily from moment to moment, there would

10
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: be peace in the world. There would be less conflict,

11
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: There would be so much more advances in understanding the

12
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: universe around us.

13
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: Yes, that's doctor Aisha Suerseai.

14
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: She's an expert and what you could probably call the

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 4: most important organ in your body, the one that makes

16
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: you you, the brain. We'll learn more about how our

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: minds work and how to keep them healthy so we

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: can be smarter and happier. Welcome to Growing Up, a

Speaker 4: to unravel the secrets behind the coolest skills and hobbies

22
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: and the people who followed their dreams. In this episode,

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: Louise and I get to know something we all use

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 4: every day but still remains.

25
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 3: A bit of a mystery. We travel to the brain.

26
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 5: Nope, I've seen this cartoon already. Nope, don't really want

27
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 5: to watch a cooking show or the news. Hm hmm,

28
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 5: what's this?

29
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: Two things happen when we sleep. The first thing that

30
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: happens is your brain literally shrinks.

31
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 5: Your brain shrinks. That's weird. Anyways, Speaking of sleeping, I'm

32
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 5: kind of tired. Actually, whoa is that a chocolate mountain

33
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 5: and an ice cream pool? Oh? Is this a dream? Wait?

34
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 5: What's that over there? My toy train? But big hi

35
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 5: toy train? Wait? Who's driving the train? Is that who

36
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 5: I think he is? Oh? Hey, Maxie, I didn't know

37
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 5: you could drive a train. Wait a minute, are you

38
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: chasing a giant frisbee on a train? Well? I've seen

39
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 5: weirder stuff in my dreams. Oh who's that my night

40
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 5: action figure? Greeting Sir MetalMan. I challenge you to a

41
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 5: sword fight. Nice sword? Wait, I don't have one? Where

42
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 5: do I get one? You're right, Maxie, I'm in my dream.

43
00:03:52,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 5: I can just imagine one. Here we go. Ah haha, yeah, ah,

44
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: you're an excellent swordsman, Sir MetalMan, but you're no match

45
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: for Sir Louise.

46
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: Hey, Sir Luise, nice sword.

47
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 5: Oh hi, uh, who are you?

48
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 4: You really don't recognize me? This gadget made me look

49
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: even younger than I thought it would.

50
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 5: Emily, you look like my age.

51
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: That's right, I'm my little self.

52
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: Now.

53
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: When I go into somebody's dreams, I usually turn their

54
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 4: age cool.

55
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 5: And your voice sounds different too. Wait, you got into

56
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: my dream? How'd you do that? Oh?

57
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: With a pretty nifty trinket from the Go Forward Labs

58
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 4: called the Dream Interceptor.

59
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 5: Oh it looks like a chef's hat, but with a

60
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 5: whole bunch of lights and fines on it.

61
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 4: It does, and it lets me go into other people's

62
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 4: dreams while they're asleep, so we can hang out and

63
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: whatever places they imagine. Speaking of which, this place is

64
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 4: at blast. That ice cream pool looks like a lot

65
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: of fun.

66
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 5: Thanks. I maybe myself, I guess you know now that

67
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 5: I think about it, I know we're in my dream,

68
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 5: But where exactly are we?

69
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 4: Well, Luise, if we're in your dream, then that means

70
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: we're in your.

71
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 5: Brain my brain? Wait, so we're like inside my head? Right? Now, yep.

72
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 4: The brain is one of the most important organs in

73
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: your body. It's where your imagination is. It makes you

74
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 4: learn and think and dream.

75
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 5: Okay, that's a ton of work it is.

76
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: It even makes you blink and breathe.

77
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: Oh but I never really think about when I blink

78
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 5: and breathe. I just do it.

79
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: That's right. Your brain takes care of it all by itself.

80
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 5: But if we're inside the brain, what does the brain

81
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 5: look like from outside? Oh?

82
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: Good question.

83
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: Brains are actually pretty squishy like jello, and they're not

84
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 4: actually that big. You can hold a brain in your hand.

85
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 5: Wow. That means that even though brains are so small,

86
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 5: they can build entire dream worlds exactly.

87
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 4: Oh, you know what that sound means, Luise, it's time

88
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: for cleanup?

89
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 5: Cleanup? What do you mean?

90
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: You see, when you're sleeping, your brain needs to do

91
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: a cleanup so you can feel fresh by the morning.

92
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: Two things happen when you sleep. The first thing that

93
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: happens is your brain literally shrinks and it allows Emily.

94
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 5: I was listening to that voice on TV just before

95
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 5: I fell asleep. Who is it?

96
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 4: Oh, that's why you're hearing her in your dreams. So

97
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: her name is doctor Aishav Suresi, and she's a brain scientist,

98
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: a neurologist, it's.

99
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: Just another word for a brain doctor.

100
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: Oh you know, just like the janitorial system. There's a

101
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: team of janitors that go into the building and they

102
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: take care of the building. They wash the windows, they

103
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: take out the trash, they clean the tables.

104
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 5: I had no idea my brain cleaned itself.

105
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a very well smart organ.

106
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 5: Well, now I wish my room could clean itself too.

107
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 4: I know, right, Well, fortunately your brain does know how

108
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: to clean itself. But because this happens at night, it's

109
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: very important to always sleep well and not stay up

110
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: past your bedtime.

111
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 5: I guess a good night always gets a good night's sleep.

112
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: Then that's good, you got it.

113
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: I think your brain is ready to wake up, Louise,

114
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 4: really already, But I've only been asleep for a few minutes.

115
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: Remember that dreams sometimes seemed to go faster than real life, Louise.

116
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 5: Well, that was a strange dream. Wait what time is it? Oh?

117
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: Better get up. We have a game show today.

118
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: Welcome to our grown up talking game show. Our very

119
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: special guest today is doctor Aisha sure's I. Aisha is

120
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: a brain doctor by day and a brain health promoter

121
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: by night. She's one of the great minds behind the

122
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 4: brain Docs, a platform that promotes brain research.

123
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: For kids and grown ups.

124
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: Please welcome Aisha with a big round of applause.

125
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me. It's such a pleasure to

126
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: be here with you. The universe behind the brain is stunning,

127
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: and I'm very excited to be on the show.

128
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 5: Aisha, Why is it so important to study the brain?

129
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: Do you know that your brain is essentially you? It's

130
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: your personality. It's the small, little, fantastic elements of who

131
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: you really are. The way you speak, the way you

132
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: look at people, the way you hear, the kinds of

133
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: foods that you like, the kind of music that you like,

134
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: the choices that you make. That's your brain.

135
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 5: I hadn't thought about that.

136
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: And when you learn about the brain, you will learn

137
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: about how you think, how you feel, and how we

138
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: can actually be better human beings, how we can solve

139
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: more problems.

140
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: Oh, the brain world is full of questions just waiting

141
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: to be answered.

142
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 5: So, Aisha, how old were you when you started learning

143
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 5: about the brain. Were you a kid like me?

144
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: The first time I heard about the brain? I think

145
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: my mind was blown up, pun intended. It was so fascinating.

146
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: I remember, I think I was twelve years old.

147
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 5: Ooh, I just turned eleven, so I'm almost.

148
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: There, that's right, Louise.

149
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: And my teacher had given me an assignment about understanding

150
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: the human brain. I knew nothing about the human brain.

151
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: And I sat down next to my father and I said,

152
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: do you know anything about the brain? Because I don't.

153
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 5: And what did he say?

154
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: He said, if you could just close your eyes and

155
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: just think of all of the trees in this world

156
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: being brain cells, imagine their roots being connected to each other.

157
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: That's how your brain is. Your brain has so many

158
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: connections that it is equivalent to the stars in the universe.

159
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 5: So what you're saying is there's a whole universe in

160
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 5: my head.

161
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: Something like that. Yes, Ayisha, I'm curious. What do a

162
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 4: lot of people get wrong about how brains work.

163
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: One of the myths that I tried to bust all

164
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 2: the time is that once you're an adult, your brain

165
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: doesn't grow, and when you become an adult, you start

166
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: declining after that, and that is absolutely false.

167
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I totally agree.

168
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 4: I'm flying to space in my late thirties, so it's

169
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 4: never too late to learn something new.

170
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: Your brain continues to grow whether you're nine or ninety

171
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: nine in size, and we always can do so much

172
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: at every stage of our life to continue to increase

173
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: the capacity of our brain.

174
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 5: And what can I Luis the Night do to increase

175
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 5: this capacity? Ayesha?

176
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: I'd also like to know just know that your brain

177
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: is an amazing organ and you can take care of

178
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: it in five different ways.

179
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: Oh wait, I want the audience to help us with

180
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: the counting.

181
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 5: That's fun.

182
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: Okay, ready everyone, let's go for number one.

183
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: I want you guys to eat a lot of fruits

184
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: and vegetables because that actually helps you have a better brain.

185
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: It actually makes your brain function better.

186
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 5: More fruits and veggies, got it? My dad packs an

187
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 5: apple in my lunchbox every day for school.

188
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 4: Does that count, Emily, Oh, he definitely does. Next one, you.

189
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: Have to exercise. Try to get moving as much as

190
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: you can. And that can be dancing, that could be soccer,

191
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: that could be football or tennis or whatever you like.

192
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: But try to move as much as you can.

193
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 5: Oh. Oh, MAXI helps out a lot with that. He

194
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 5: and I love playing frisbee and running around the park. Hmm.

195
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 5: I wonder if exercise helps increase the copacity of dogs

196
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 5: brains too.

197
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 4: Oh, I hadn't thought of that, but I'm sure it does,

198
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 4: all right.

199
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 5: What's number three?

200
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: The third thing is stress. If you're stressed out, always

201
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: talk to your parents about it or to your loved

202
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: ones about it, because when you talk about your stresses,

203
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: that actually helps it go away, and it makes you

204
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: be more understanding of how you function as a person.

205
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 5: Speak up when you're stressed. Perfect. You know, the other day,

206
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 5: I was worried about a big math test and I

207
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 5: told my teacher about it, and she said it was

208
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 5: gonna be Okay? Is I hate it? Who?

209
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 4: Way to go, Louise, And Yes, simply talking to someone

210
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 4: else about the things that worry us can help us

211
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 4: a lot. Sometimes they can cheer us up, or they

212
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 4: can just listen and by explaining our problems, we can

213
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: find a way to solve them.

214
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: Okay, next one.

215
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: The fourth thing is sleep. You really need to sleep

216
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: at least eight to nine hours of sleep, depending on

217
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: your age, So talk to your parents or your loved

218
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: ones and find out how much sleep you need.

219
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 4: Very true, I'm definitely not the same when I don't

220
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 4: have my full eight hours of sleep.

221
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, sometimes I don't like that I have a bedtime,

222
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 5: but I know it feels a lot worse when you

223
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 5: don't sleep well, so it's okay anyway.

224
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: Last one, and then the fifth thing is be brain active,

225
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: which means keep engaging in new things, learn new things,

226
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 2: solve problems, solve puzzles, get into some really cool some

227
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: brain games that challenge you and that make you have

228
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: a great time. And if you do those things, you

229
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: will have the best brain ever.

230
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: Aisha, thank you so much for these great insights about

231
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: the brain. I think it's so amazing to know how

232
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: big the brain world actually is. What do you think, Louise?

233
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 5: I love that there are so many ways to make

234
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 5: our brains better, But I think my favorite one is

235
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: playing games.

236
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: Mine too, though sleeping is not so bad either. But

237
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: speaking of playing, how about we move on to our

238
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: game show.

239
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 5: Let's do it today we're playing riddles.

240
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,239
Speaker 3: Ooh, and what are the rules, Louis.

241
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 5: They're very simple, Aisha. Your job is to guess the

242
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 5: riddle before the bell rings and your time runs out.

243
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 4: Sound good, Okay, let's do it, and they'll be stepping

244
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: in to ask the questions too.

245
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 5: Okay, So here's riddle number one. Ready, Yes, okay, if

246
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 5: you'd like to learn my name, my first and last

247
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 5: letters are the same. And there's something else I can explain.

248
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 5: There's billions of me in your brain. What am I?

249
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: Brain cells? Neurons.

250
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 5: It's neurons because it starts with an end and ends

251
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 5: with an end the same letter.

252
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, the letter yes.

253
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: Can you explain what a neuron is aisha.

254
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: Neuron is the name of a brain cell. So neurons

255
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: are the unit of your brain. And there are eighty

256
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: seven billions of them in that brain of yours.

257
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 5: Eighty seven billion with a B. So that's why you

258
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 5: said it's like the universe. Okay, okay, here goes riddle

259
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 5: number two. I can't help but be sensitive. As you

260
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: may know, I am a huge spider web. I go

261
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 5: from your head all the way down to your toes.

262
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 5: What am I?

263
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: Okay? Nerves?

264
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 5: Yes, our nervous system.

265
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the nervous system actually, yes, and aiesha.

266
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: The nervous system is basically what connects your brain to

267
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: the rest of your body.

268
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: Right, So in the nervous system, it's a two way

269
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: communication system of how you interact with the world around you.

270
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 5: Okay, I have riddle number three. This is a fun one.

271
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 5: I scream, you scream. We all scream from this headache.

272
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 5: It's really harmless, but boy does it hurt.

273
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: So it's a brain freeze, correct.

274
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 5: Actually, Emily, remember when you and I went to get

275
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 5: ice cream. I actually had a brain freeze and it

276
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 5: felt so weird.

277
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I remember. It's such a strange feeling, isn't it, Aisha.

278
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 4: I think most of us know what a brain freeze

279
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 4: feels like. But can you explain why they happen?

280
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: Oh that's a very fun question to ask. So you know,

281
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: when we eat ice cream, it's extremely cold, and the

282
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: top part of your mouth, the palette, it actually is

283
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: very close to your brain, and the ice cream actually

284
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 2: transferred its cold to those nerves and to those arteries,

285
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: and first split second, everything just seizes. It kind of fleezes,

286
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: and it feels really bad and you feel there your

287
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: head it is about to explode, but it's very brief

288
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: and it goes away.

289
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 5: Thanks so much for playing with us today, Aisha.

290
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: Thank you guys. This was fun.

291
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: Louise, what's your favorite thing you learned today?

292
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 5: Oh, there's so many things. But I guess my favorite

293
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 5: was learning that there's a whole universe inside my head

294
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 5: and there's lots of room to imagine all sorts of

295
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 5: fun places like ice cream pools.

296
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 4: By the way, Luis, want to go get some ice cream?

297
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 5: How about some hot chocolate instead? No risk for brain

298
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 5: freeze there.

299
