TED-Ed: Diagnosing a zombie: Brain and body - Tim Verstynen & Bradley Voytek

The video explores the causes of behavioral abnormalities in a fictional creature, focusing on brain regions responsible for motor functions and communication. It discusses the basal ganglia's role in movement, comparing symptoms to Parkinson's disease, and suggests cerebellar damage as a cause for observed motor issues. Communication impairments are linked to Broca's and Wernicke's areas, with humorous references to zombies' inability to understand or speak. The discussion concludes with a light-hearted take on the futility of reasoning with zombies.
