Neuropsych 101 by DBC Lyrics
System reticular activates consciousness
Awakening is obviously the pons' business
The ominous reptilian hindbrain
The lower primal main vain of my mainframe
Medulla oblongata got in control of my breathin
Keepin' the heart beating even when sleeping
Move up creepin’, bringin the wisdom
To the the limbic system, nobody’s this dumb
To the hippocampi on a mission
With amygdala and hypothalamus, no competition
Cooperation, handling emotion
Like a congregation or a magic potion
You got a little brain by the name of cerebellum
In the back end of your melon man and I’m tryin’ to tell em’
That they only see a little bit of the spectrum
Receptors sensin’ more your perception
400 hundred billion bits of info in a second
And you're consciously processin’ a couple thousand I reckon
Splitting the corpus callosum, of course it is awesome
Approach it with caution, the brain is a microcosm
Of the universe, mind over matter
Little whippersnapper with your jibberjabber
Don’t forget to bring a map of that prefrontal cortex
It’s complex, unless you’re thick like goretex
Who’s on next?
Neurons that fire together wire together
Neurons that fail to sync don't link
But even using each and every of the hundred million neurons in the brain ain't enough to make a dumb man think
Awakening is obviously the pons' business
The ominous reptilian hindbrain
The lower primal main vain of my mainframe
Medulla oblongata got in control of my breathin
Keepin' the heart beating even when sleeping
Move up creepin’, bringin the wisdom
To the the limbic system, nobody’s this dumb
To the hippocampi on a mission
With amygdala and hypothalamus, no competition
Cooperation, handling emotion
Like a congregation or a magic potion
You got a little brain by the name of cerebellum
In the back end of your melon man and I’m tryin’ to tell em’
That they only see a little bit of the spectrum
Receptors sensin’ more your perception
400 hundred billion bits of info in a second
And you're consciously processin’ a couple thousand I reckon
Splitting the corpus callosum, of course it is awesome
Approach it with caution, the brain is a microcosm
Of the universe, mind over matter
Little whippersnapper with your jibberjabber
Don’t forget to bring a map of that prefrontal cortex
It’s complex, unless you’re thick like goretex
Who’s on next?
Neurons that fire together wire together
Neurons that fail to sync don't link
But even using each and every of the hundred million neurons in the brain ain't enough to make a dumb man think
