Video of the Introduction to Neuroscience lecture by John H. Byrne, Ph.D., for the medical neuroscience course at the McGovern Medical School at UTHealth, Houston, Texas. nba.uth.tmc.edu/neuroscience/
No one can afford medical school, yet people are still going. Don't believe the lie that cost is prohibitive. There are many ways of paying off your debt, including ways to have it forgiven. Don't give up. If you want it, go for it.
can't you get an scholarship? Even if you go to a smaller, less known school, it's better to go to a small school with debt than Harvard with tons of debt.
I'm in my late 50s and I finally have the money to study this. Accepted into the 2nd best neuroscience M.Sc gllobally. This is part of our pre-reading task
As a bored highschool student who loves neuroscience, these free lectures are so worth it to learn. These kinds of contents aren't available in schools so I'm really grateful to access stuff on the internet.
Same school moves too slow like i can learn heredity chapter like in 30 minutes the amount of information is very low which make it too boring like literally ex: heredity chapter it has like basic content of distribution of genes and dominant and recessive genes thats it . Its so boring and like even physics like 3 chapters are based on same conspect all 3 chapters are based on just 1/f=1/u - 1/v and 1/f=1/u + 1/v its so boring and I am bad at maths cause i didn't follow basics i can't any good sources to learn basic now
I agree with you! Schools teach it at a superficial level, so delving into in-depth knowledge about the topic often requires self-directed study and seeking additional resources online.:)
Who here has NO friends who could EVER care even for a minute about these types of topics, yet you hold this information vital for understanding your brain? 💡
Why search for approval from others about how much you know? Just appreciate learning for what it is and having the knowledge for what it is, no need for others.
My son is working on his Doctrine in Neuroscience and I am hoping to at least be able to understand a little of what he is learning. I want to give thanks to the Univ. of De. and Indiana Univ. for giving him such a fine education.
I was in Indiana when I hate to say targeted individuals more like illegal medical and clinical trials the neuralace by neuralink device doesn't belong in or near people's spines and open ais devices don't belong in humans period
since i started uni i developed a new form of procrastination which is to learn completely unrelated subjects online instead of doing my assignments. thank u for making it fun and interesting too!
I am an Occupational Therapy student and my neuroscience professor has a very thick accent that I cannot understand. This lecture helped me so much- thank you for making this free to the public.
This changes everything in my life. I really Love Neuroscience. I've worked with patients with these disorders. Advanced level that helps us understand patients better. Awesomely Great Sir. Thanks so much. Respectfully
We may not all be future Neuroscientists, but knowing more about how one's own brain works is invaluable information for anyone. And truly fascinating.
I had a stroke and have been paralyzed in half the body. The others half damaged by gangrene. I was told nothing can be done and is permanent. After 11 yes. I figure it will not hurt if I try curing my self. I can construct my own test equipment and pulse generator if I need it. My goal is small and is to get up if I fall. Arm and leg stimulation looks promising. Really sucking up all the neuroscience lectures and courses online. Tks all
I love that I grew up with the internet, it gives me the opportunity as a dinky 16yo to freely spend my summers learning intro-lectures into majors that I will never myself take and I think it’s great :D I may never be a genius but at the very least I will know a lot of annoying facts about a very big field of researches, neurology being one of them now haha, can’t wait to give my buddies an impromptu monologue about feedback inhibiting neurones while we play Smash Bros
Clinical neuroanatomy was one of my favorites of the first year in med school. Phd are actually the real experts, expanding our knowledge and understanding of things.
Medical negligence is leaving targeted individuals in great pain and torment. The police need the medical professionals to detect the voice to skull artificial telepathy and artificial intelligence in the minds of the victims.. medical negligence and misdiagnosis instead of immediately calling in professionals and neuroethics team.
Solid lecture. Really found the circuitry of the hippocampus @ 46:08 very fascinating as a Software developer and Engineer. Thanks for sharing the lecture online 😊
I never went to medical school, however I spent 10 midnight hours in what seemed like a frenzy writing a multitude of papers until I realized I needed a team of biochemists and physiologists in order to complete a transcript of something I thought I had come up with on my own. As it turned out, the most modern definitions of (my) transcript I believe were completed in 2007/2008. It was then I tossed the papers away. Looking back, I wished I hadn't as my definition was polar opposite and paradoxical to Neuralplastical Reversal Effective Mechanisms. I'll never forget the words and feelings as they came to mind walking down the hallway from where I had been in the family room in reverse steps.
This was a very good basic representation of the way the neurons in the brain operate with each other to create and control actions and perceptions of the self. You can also draw conclusions about learning and how practice and its subsequent re-wiring of the neural connections makes for perfect execution.
I love the way you explained this. I had this as a psychology major in 1975. I never quite was able to understand the layout. I later became a automatic controls engineer including Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). I kept trying to understand which type of ANN calculation applied to which circuit and where they are located. You explained this so clear, I want to take your course. lol
Great lecture, watched the whole thing and made notes on the way. Its really difficult and annoying, sometimes even boring to try to focus and understand, but the resulting knowledge and having it done is really pleasureful.
Oh that's awesome...Im a computer networking student...just watching cause I might have an admin job at a neuroscience place.....neurons are connected like a computer network
great stuff! Just sad that some of the images seem cropped at the sides at least. I dont think any important information was lost but it would have been easer to read
I just recieved my bachelor's degree in nanoscience. I started my master's a month ago and I just realized I could have tried to get into neuroscience and now idk if I should try to switch. I really don't know if it'll be too difficult. I have had a few courses in biology and I can pretty easily understand this video, but there's so much to remember. I've had psychology courses as well where I did really well, but that wasn't at a university level. I just read one page if an introductory book about neuroscience and I spend over an hour looking up all the words I didn't know! (This lecture didn't have many words I didn't know though) But I reckon I'll stand little chance against a medical student or a biochemistry student. I usually understand biology better than many of the courses I had like quantum physics/chemistry and solid state physics which are very math heavy. In biology you have to remember so damn much, but I'm more captivated by the subjects. Especially this. If anyone has any comments, good or bad about my thought process here, please respond and have a nice day. 😊
Hi, I have the similar situation. I would love to work on neuroscience. I am materials engineer, and I've just started master's degree in nanotechnology. Haw can I contact you?
University of Texas? I was expecting Senator Armstrong to give the lecture. Jokes aside, I sat through the lecture and appreciate the knowledge shared about our neurosystem. The MicroNetwork Motifs was especially interesting. Thank you for this.
Too afraid to ask my doctor or more so I asked her and she just kind shrugged it off as stress and google sucks I am 24yr and I figured I'd ask my question here after typing in neuroscience on the search bar, there has to be some geniuses here with the a possible answer. I was wondering why it is my brain tingles when I try to solve math problems or anything complicated? I get a tingling sensation so bad that I almost end up tearing up with frustration. I can't concentrate for long periods or solve anything without first relaxing almost to the point of meditation. I need help with this any answers would be much appreciated.
People are individuals and have different interests, which is great really. As are things in common. There really isn't such a thing as average or normal. These are generalities. Enjoy. I understand this too. It's fascinating isn't it?! Keep learning. Be a life long learner. Fabulous.
@@cautionhumanbeing749 Thank you i will, it is extremely fascinating and imo very important to know. I think learning yourself and how you work is the first big step to life, or its what should be your first step
Or, and try to keep up with me here, they are not interested in the topic. Your claim makes you look intelligent. But do you think you are the measure of excellence that gives you the right to diss on people who don't share your interests?
@@khymaaren If it seemed like I was boasting myself as trying to be better I'm sorry, it was an honest question. I mean you're body is the only thing you keep your whole life. I guess a better question would be as to why don't they try to learn about such things.
The circuits formed to make those connections sound jus like the network within the earth that trees connect with. God this is so fascinating! I originally got interested in reversing inflammation because of my memory problems n love of the concept “earthing” or “grounding” ✨
I found this interesting but difficult to follow! My interest is to discover whether there is a connection here with the writings of Jean Piaget on the learning process. ie the process of ASSIMILATION and / or ACCOMMODATION.
I found this interesting but difficult to follow. I’m wanting to know if there is a connection here with the findings and description of LEARNING by the Swiss writer JEAN PIAGET. Ie a PROCESS which he describes as ASSIMILATION or ACCOMMODATION.
I enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing it! I really see where AI neural networks come from now, though the national ones seem far more advanced and stress-tested.
To our senses, we live in a four dimensional world. So it's not surprising that our knowledge representation is primarily four dimensional. However, the space dimensions aren't distance and time is handled differently than the abstract space dimensions. For example, one of the abstract dimensions of knowledge representation is the concept of subset. A thought that focuses on a node, activates all the nodes in one of the abstract dimensions. That's why memories such as smell can trigger a host of other memories. Memory techniques temporarily lower the threshold for using new neurons. Using analogy, the brain can copy the structure of something already known to add neurons for learning something new.
Standard reductionistic neuroscience is not the same as Developmental Affective Neuroscience which incorporates as its base Interpersonal Neurobiology.
Basically, it's because all cells have an enzyme in their cell membranes called Na+/K+ ATPase. This enzyme exchanges Na+ and K+ ions across the cell membrane, but pumps out three Na+ ions for every two K+ ions that come in. This imbalance in ion flow creates a net negative charge inside the cell. There's a lot more to it than that but there are videos on RU-vid which explain it in more detail - search for "resting membrane potential".
There is a problem with the description early on at 10: 55. The pics of electrical potential must be precise or they are meaningless. Unless we know where the ground is (second wire), then a voltage potential makes no sense. One microelectrode only reads voltage potential "across something". Where is the ground placed or the reading is "floating" and useless. Please always show where the potential is being read, even in a cartoon! FYI, I am an electrical engineer. We always demand that "completeness and accuracy" be a prime part of any description or those of us who know a lot can see multiple explanations from a poor description. There are many places in this seminar where errors are made with respect to electrical descriptions. Dr. Byrne, please take the time to review your slides with an electrical engineer. I volunteer to do it for free if you need help.
I found this difficult to follow - too fast ! BUT I.’m interested because I’m looking for a connection with what Jean Piaget calls a PROCESS IN LEARNING. ie what he calls the process of ACCOMMODATION Or ASSIMILATION.
i too wish they hadnt altered the memory part of the brain - and learning ability - once i was uploaded. musta scared them. again. i am so potentially down right horrifying. but thanks for your transparency
I don't see how anyone could watch and understand this, and still believe that there is no free will, and that everything in the universe is predetermined!
Only controlling blood pressure may prevent brain stroke.and to controll blood pressure we need to keep our kidneys well..and to keep well kidneys we need to avoid tension and drinking liquid enough...
