Step 2: The Anatomical Antics

Where the Brain Meets the Broom

Now that you've mastered the art of poking holes in your brain with a screwdriver (Step 1), it's time to get a little more creative!

In this step, you'll learn how to navigate the treacherous world of cerebral cartography. Don't worry, it's not as hard as it sounds. Unless you're reading this with your non-dominant eye, in which case, good luck with that.

First things first, you'll need to understand the basics of brain geography. That means learning about the different regions of the brain, like the:

• The Cerebral Cortex: Where all the fancy thinking happens
• The Cerebellum: Where the reflexes go to play
• The Brainstem: Where the autonomic functions live in fear of the other two

And don't even get me started on the Brain-Structure-101 subpage, where you can learn more about the intricacies of brain anatomy. It's a real thrill-ride, trust me!
