Like TED, the site contains videos from experts, but they are more individual and up-close. These videos typically occur within longer blogs related to a variety of topics, the best of which relate to psychology and neuroscience. I will link to some favorites below. Because the videos are short, they can be wonderful additions to what we do in the class, to have another person (read: expert) explain an idea that we'd like to get across to our students. Additionally, the content creates a wonderful little professional development opportunity for we teachers.

Brain Bugs: Hallucinations, Forgotten Faces, and Other Cognitive Quirks (with V.S. Ramachandran)
How ADHD Affects the Brain
This is Your Brain During Orgasm
Your Storytelling Brain (with Michael Gazzaniga)
There are so many other stories and content that are fascinating, I recommend taking some time to explore. It is well worth it.
