Does the brain have a universal way to "code" or store information? If i see a cat for the first time, and someone tells me it is a cat, does the brain have a universal way to store this type of information? With the advance in science why people are not trying to decode the brain, it doesn't have to be everything, just how one piece of information is stored and processed at a time.
I liked your explanation. I want to suggest that you should introduce/describe whatever thing being talked about as its first appearance. Like CA1234 thing could have been described earlier.
When I broke both my fingers I recall laughing at the pain everytime it hurt. When I threw out my back I was laughing uncontrollably on the floor like a lunatic. After my gallbladder removal surgery i skipped the pain meds all together. For like 2 weeks I kept slightly reopening my wound by accident if I sat down wrong or tried to lie down in bed. Which triggered a laughter response which caused me to bleed more. The gall bladder was by far the worst/best experience. It was an evil cycle since the pain from 4 holes in my abdomen hurt, caused me to laugh, which hurt even more which caused me to laugh harder.
Really good video, thanks! I have been reading a lot of source papers on molecular basis of memory. But my knowledge of the dynamics is pretty patchy from just those. So nice to have things displayed visually like this!! Id just note that when you say "weaker action potentials can then lead to greater depolarisation" I assume you are referring to summation from a smaller than usual number of pre-synaptic inputs can lead to depolarisation (given there are potentially hundreds or thousands of inputs to a single post-synaptic neuron)? Rather than the actual strength of a given action potential from one presynaptic neuron (which is always the same for a given pre-synaptic neuron).
Thanks for watching our video Francis! You are right! I was explaining summation and how even smaller AP can lead to depolarisation. Do you have any other topics you think is in need of explaining within memory?
this explanation is so much better than many I watched. it is simpler and at the same time deeper. it seems coming from a person who REALLY understands what she is talking about. Thanks for a great presentation. Now I have a better idea of what's going on in how the memories are strengthened.
Thanks for watching! There are many resources out there explaining the inner monologue - I am actually thinking of writing a free pdf/ebook about this if you think it would be useful?
@BioBrainBuddies the review helped tremendously! I'm a sophomore neuroscience major so I'll definitely be coming back to this channel for more reviews!
Neat. I am having my hippocampus laser ablated next week and I am so scared about what my memory will function like/or not function like after surgery. I am making videos to share the process if anyone is interested personally...
I am not sure there are many studies suggesting increasing hippocampus size. There is one paper I just found from 2011 which suggest physical exercise helped increase by 2% and helps maintain size and function during late adulthood when otherwise the functions decrese slightly. Hope that helps
Why, of all things, did you choose playing the piano as an exemplar of an episodic memory? This is a fine example of a basal ganglia-mediated skill, which interestingly is well preserved in Clive Waring, who is densely amnestic due to hippocampal damage arising from herpes encephalitis. .
Piano playing was an example was procedural memory not episodic. It is a main example because of the case study on HM showed he was still able to play the piano even after the removal of the hippocampus.
Majority of people it’s not ready for this info yet, demand a lots of time of introspection and at least 10.000 hrs of intense focusing meditation to transcend your mind , technically it’s leave let side of the brain ( conscious mind) and start to use more the right side ( subconscious mind). It’s same of reprogram the mind to serve yourself and out a end of slavery of negativity. Great video…🙏🏻🌑🌞
med student here, from national university of la plata (argentina) I´ve watched it like 3 times and every time I do so it´s even clearer to me the mechanisms that result in LTP (early or late fase). u have a talent. this video is the result of great educational skills combined with great editing skills. thank u
So the condition of opening NMDA receptors is the depolarization of the postsynaptic shaffer collateral neuron. What causes the depolarization that causes the influx of Na+?
Hey there! So, the depolarization of the postsynaptic neuron happens when glutamate (a neurotransmitter) is released from the presynaptic neuron. This glutamate binds to NMDA receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. However, for these receptors to fully activate and allow Na+ influx, the postsynaptic neuron needs to depolarize, which typically occurs due to the opening of voltage-gated sodium channels triggered by other neurotransmitters or electrochemical events. It's like a key (glutamate) unlocking a door (NMDA receptor), but the door only opens when there's enough energy (depolarization) to push it open. Na+ Influx occurs by diffusion as there is a great concentration of Na+ outside compared to inside the neuron. Hope that helps clarify things!
Ok I’m so confused I don’t have these voices at all and it’s so hard to imagine a voice in your head talking for me my head in blank and I just kinda do stuff? I’m so confused
Thank you so much #BioBrainBuddies for this video. it is very helpful and easy to understand. i am waiting for the next part of Bottom-up Processing. I hope you will upload it soon. Thank you so much again.
Hey, thank you for watching I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I am trying to get back into uploading more videos but unfortunately lately I haven't had the time but hopefully soon!
