🧠 My brain #brain #memory #everydaygenius

Nelson Dellis, the four-time USA Memory Champion who once climbed toward the summit of Everest to raise money for Alzheimer's research, posted a single video this week, and it is about the organ that made his name. "🧠 My brain" is a Short that shows his brain itself, tagged for his Everyday Genius series.

The comment section reads like an open office hour. Several viewers ask how a person gets a look at their own brain, one wants to know whether all that memory training changed it, and a self-described medical student signs off on the anatomy while another viewer quibbles over what the cerebellum does. Someone even answered in Morse code, a nod, perhaps, to his summer video on learning it.

The Short is not the channel's busiest video, though. That is "3 books that will make you smarter 🧠", a reading list from late September that has passed 40,000 views and is still gathering more each day than the new upload.

Together they lifted the channel well above its usual daily pace, though the subscriber count did not move. Among the self-improvement channels nearest his size, the big weeks belong to VP Motion and Thach Nguyen, both running far beyond their norm, while Captain Sinbad is having a quieter stretch.
