It discusses the myth's origins, its impact on education and beliefs, and provides scientific evidence against it. The video highlights the brain's complexity, its energy demands, and evolutionary reasons for its size, emphasizing that all parts of the brain have functions. It also touches on the consequences of believing in this myth, such as misguided educational practices and pseudoscientific beliefs.
