I saw a video like that once too. Remember Slim Goodbody? He did shows about health and the body. One of the shows, about the brain, recreated one of the original experiments into studying the brain, where a dog underwent the same process. You didn't actually SEE anything with electrodes being inserted into the brain, it was only implied, as were the reactions to what happened.

Slim Goodbody...I have thought about that show in a great many years. Probably my favorite show was about digestion.
The recreated experiment was about a man that was shot in the stomach. The doctor, seeing an opportunity to study, took some string and pieces of meat and lettuce and put them in the guy's stomach through the hole. He wanted to see which would be digested faster.
