Within this series of lectures is attempted for the first time the production of a dynamic, and wholly transparent, exploration of the human brain and its related structures. Unlike those perhaps familiar explorations which traditionally become the subject of textbooks, theses, and all manner of academic publication; this resource is unconstrained by the economics and labors of print, the subjectivities of professional ambition, and the inertia of formalized academic curricula.
