Welcome to the Neurocollective Podcast! This December, we’re kicking off an exciting new series all about the brain — the most complex organ in our body. In today’s episode, Dr. Michael and May Bagnell embark on the first leg of this journey, beginning with a fascinating overview of the brain’s anatomy and its importance in governing every aspect of our lives. From movement and behavior to thoughts and emotions, the brain is the true commander-in-chief.

In this episode, we start with the frontal lobe, the brain’s decision-making and personality hub. Dr. Michael explains how the brain’s regions communicate with one another like two computers connected on the same network, ensuring everything runs smoothly. The duo also discusses the vital connections that keep the brain in top shape and the importance of neuroplasticity in adapting and strengthening these neural networks.

As we enter the month of December and gear up for the new year, the Bagnells share insights on how understanding our brain's intricate structure can empower us to take better care of our mental and physical health, setting the stage for a vibrant and fulfilling 2025.

Tune in as we “unwrap” the brain, one lobe at a time, and explore how this extraordinary organ keeps us functioning at our best — and how we can optimize it for the future. Don’t miss out on this eye-opening series!
