God I love Pinky And The Brain! But he missed the corpus callosum. Perhaps this explains why his plots to take over the world always come to naught.

My five year old loves pinky and the brain. I mean really, really loves it. He will randomly sing the theme song and it's one of the few songs he knows well enough to sing flawlessly every time. . .He is now very fond of this blog.

That was very funny. Do brains really look like that?

Posted by: the five year old. . . | September 2, 2007 11:07 PM

DuWayne - I'm so pleased your son likes my blog. Brains do look like that, and the anatomy in this clip is very accurate.

I'm so making my class watch this today. Brilliant.

No shout out for my buddy the raphe nucleus? For shame!

YES!! Huge 'Pinky and the Brain' fan and you just made my day. Poink!

Posted by: RamblinDude | September 3, 2007 1:20 PM

Oh that made my day - thank you!!

I was trying to explain that I'm pretty certain that it was accurate, but after explaining that you are studying neurology and what neurology is, he insisted on asking.

I just found my study aid.

Being British, I'd never heard of Pinky & the Brain until I found this clip.

How sad that I remember this from back in the day...

Posted by: Tara C. Smith | September 4, 2007 10:23 PM

Posted by: Jenna | October 3, 2007 1:24 PM

Jenna - I've just added the lyrics to the song.

White core matter?

Posted by: Isaac | October 6, 2007 6:50 PM

Thanks, i needed that. I am fairly sure he says "white core matter" as in white matter makes up most of the core regions of the brain.

Posted by: Aaron Kralik | October 6, 2007 9:37 PM

It sounds to me like he says "White core matter."

Posted by: Kimbits | October 7, 2007 12:33 AM

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

Posted by: Mo | October 7, 2007 3:35 AM

Thanks for this! I have a large collection of Animaniacs/Pink and the Brain songs on disc, but haven't seen many of the videos. Pinky and the Brain and all of the Animaniacs "universe" was one of the few "kids" cartoons that I could stand to watch, and I am proud to say that my kids liked them enough to avoid the whole "Barney" phase.

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
