Reference 14: What are the building blocks of the brain? http://www.youtube.com/wa...
Reference 15: How fast do messages pass from brain to body? http://www.youtube.com/wa...
Reference 17: We only use 10% of our brain. http://www.youtube.com/wa...

The rest of the links in the paper should work correctly.
