ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Herbert Jasper

Herbert Jasper was a very smart man who studied the brain and how it works. You know how your brain helps you think, remember things, and do stuff with your body? Well, Herbert Jasper wanted to learn more about how your brain does all of that.

He studied lots of different things that helped him understand the brain better, like how people's brains act when they have seizures or when they are learning new things. He also figured out how the different parts of the brain talk to each other and work together to help you do things like talk and walk.

Even though Herbert Jasper isn't alive anymore, we still use his ideas and discoveries to help people who have problems with their brains. So, in a way, he helped us understand how amazing our brains are!
