ASK THE NERD: PART III

 

BIPOLAR STUFF IN THE SHACK WITH JOHN AND MAGGIE

In this feature, Maggie Reese pulls random questions out of a container to ask John, the resident nerd. In this video, John discusses the amygdala in the brain and how it kickstarts fight or flight.

Thanks to Maggie, brain science has never been more hilarious.
