Human Brain Map This is an excellent introduction to the human brain by the BBC.
The Brain: Frontal Lobes This video lecture discusses the role of the frontal lobes in mood disorders and Schizophrenia. This lecture focuses on the effects of permanent destruction of the frontal lobes. However, in mood disorders and Schizophrenia, the impaired functioning of the frontal lobes is often episodic (not permanent). CAUTION: There are upsetting, very graphic, pictures of facial gunshot wounds used in this video.
The Brain: Limbic System Excellent video explaining the limbic system and its control of emotion and memory (also discusses neurological basis of homosexuality, hallucinations, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
The Brain: Temporal Lobes This excellent video lecture discusses the role of the temporal lobes in memory, emotion, and hallucinations. This lecture focuses on the effects of permanent destruction of the temporal lobes. However, in mood disorders and Schizophrenia, the impaired functioning of the temporal lobes is often episodic (not permanent).
