This video was the singular catalyst for connecting psychology and neuroscience in my head, it just makes mental health and human behavior make so much more sense than everything else I've been taught about both.
This video (as well as your other ones) is the BEST I have ever seen of the Brain and the way you have explained it, is magnificent! Thank you Daniel. If I lived in your area, I would have bought you a good bottle of red wine, or flowers for your house, or any other gift to tell you how valuable this teaching is!
OK......I finally found you! While you were listening to your ol' brain tape.....you ran me over.....next time, just pay attention to where your 'ol truck is going!!
I like your handy concept references, assuming people listening already know brain anatomy. A much wider audience would benefit instantly IF you would refer to your model for specific area functions, since it shows very clearly by size, shape and color, the relative location proximity to the brain stem. Thank You!
Hi Daniel, is there a reference for the findings from the conenctome project about greater interconnection of the connectome being a predictor of well-being
We are in Viet Nam. We find this video is very helpful for everyone. May we get your approval to translate the script into Vietnamese for non-profit purpose?
Any way to get the sound to line up better with the video? It is such a wonderful video, but I struggle to show this to others, especially in a classroom setting.
I love this, but the sound is out of sync..? I'd like to share video with clients but it's hard with the sync problem. Is there a way to fix this or a re-recording somewhere? Thanks
At roughly 3:13, he says that the stem is the "oldest" part of the head-brain. By this, does he mean that it is the first area to form when we each individually grow, or that it developed early-on in our evolutionary paths?
Wow! Thank you Dan for this Amazing idea! Since I'm writing an essay, about the connection between hand gestures and yi Ching pentagrams; can I share your words in the research for TuiNa massage school?
Yes, definitely YOU are at fault......but after you fork over big bucks for the brain course, you will cease nitpicking about such trivial errors........you may now applaud me!
first step in solving any issue is identifying the root cause. Anger, according to Dr. Siegel, is created in the limbic system. By reflecting on why you feel angry (what's the proximal causes, are these proximal causes reasonable or were they instantiated in childhood) you will begin to be able to rewire (integrate) your brain. You will still have an active limbic system, but hopefully instead of blindly feeling anger, you may be able to identify the microactions (and neural circuitry caused by child development) beforehand that will give you some leverage in combatting your issue.
@@savvysilvia5075 my guess is when you begin to have an emotion that is undesirable or debilitating, you can do deep breathing exercises, or some other practice of putting the emotion in check so it doesn't just run it's course, unbeknownst to you, causing you to "flip your lid".... So by slowing down, recognizing the emotion/ situation is a tough one, you stop right there, take long deep breaths, talk to a trusted someone or whatever else is in your toolbox to get the scenario into perspective, before it runs through your entire brain process causing you to "flip your lid", leaving you angry, frustrated, exhausted, unreasonable & possibly sitting behind bars... ?? I'm just giving my interpretation, I may be completely wrong?
If I understand correctly, we had this specific part of the brain but hadn't evolved enough yet 300million yrs ago to use it...... But i could be wrong?
CC gives you automatic transcript. Not sure if it can be downloaded but makes transcription easier. Also, I'd like to see translations. Would help with Spanish.
I'm a school counselor and I teach this to my elementary students. One of my 5th graders had a question. What do you mean by our 200 million year old mammalian brain and 300 million year old reptilian brain? Did we evolve from reptiles?
I couldn't watch the original video but I fixed the audio ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjmOXkCAH8k.html enjoy and sorry Doc. I am happy to send you the edited version or edit your original :)
I have now watched 2 or 3 descriptions of this model. I find it utterly confusing. I understand articles about quantum physics more easily. I understand it much more easily in a brain model. I have too many other associations with a hand, that have nothing to do with the brain.
Lost me when he started talking of the Limbic brain as being 200 million years old "when we became mammals." Don't get why people speak so definitively about things we know so little about and when the evolution theory is what its name states it to be - a theory. The last time I checked my dictionary this was stated to be a supposition or speculative guess.
You are using the wrong definition of theory. Theory as defined in science is the best explanation that science has to offer based on cumulative research that is solid and repeated, etc. Theories are extremely strong in science.
@@terrischmitt1980 It's surprising that even in 2023, there are people who are still beating on this "it's just a theory" drum. I thought the misconceptions surrounding this word in the context of science had already been addressed repeatedly in our school systems. Atomic theory, gravitational theory, music theory...are atoms, gravity, and music now just pure conjecture lol? And yet, here we still are with the "it's just a theory, so it's not worth much" argument. One person above is misquoting the dictionary - well here's what Encyclopedia Brittanica says about it: "In attempting to explain objects and events, the scientist employs (1) careful observation or experiments, (2) reports of regularities, and (3) *systematic explanatory schemes (theories)*. The statements of regularities, if accurate, may be taken as empirical laws expressing continuing relationships among the objects or characteristics observed. Thus, when empirical laws are able to satisfy curiosity by uncovering an orderliness in the behaviour of objects or events, the scientist may advance a systematic scheme, *or scientific theory*, to provide an accepted explanation of why these laws obtain."
@@milesbuckley1731OP is questioning the background of evolutionary theory specifically in this understanding of the brain, not the process of how scientific theories are constructed.
Gravity is a theory. Not many people dispute that this is also a fact based on the theory. You need to study what theories in science mean. It is evidence based research that holds up among the majority of scientists until more research may change that theory. You can test theories yourself. Gravity is an easy one to test but there may be research that disproves or changes this theory some day.
Lost me when you started talking evolution..... what a bunch of nonsensical nonsense. Apparently the first magically appearing cell had the immense intelligence to realize it needed to first evolve a brain in order to think what else it was missing lol
