The Amygdala and Fear Conditioning 

after two years of study at university, finaly I got the function Amygdala.

I have just recently concluded through self analysis and reading and watching/studying YT channels about the brain that I am "seeing, feeling and adopting" more positivity after a life time of negativity and skeptism. I never thought it possible that I would ever see the light.THANK YOU dude for the pathway and confirmation.

I'm from Sri Lanka,And I'm a Psychological Counsellor, So Your Knowledge help me to understand bio psychology.❤❤❤❤

Check your understanding: Stimulation of the amygdala causes intense emotion, such as A. Empathy and compassion B. Sadness and helplessness C. Fear and aggression D. Pleasure

Great video, really clear explenation. Thanks!

Very simplified yet comprehensive explanation

Just finished watching. It was SOO helpful. I love this visual style of learning and his pace and amount of examples were PERFECT!

my new fav channel 😭💕 im now struggling in neuro subject and this greatly helps, thank you so much!

This is such a fantastic video and so well explained!!! I'm so glad I found your channel :D

Dr. Kushner, I shared your lecture with my patient as an introduction to why we are training parasympathetic responses as well as using CBT to identify what possible experiences have trained his fear reactions I like research about positive emotions as a function. That is why we can neutralize the fear with a positive thought. Love the intense emotions lecture. I'll use it too help patients understand and know that they can cope.

Thank you. This was great and very helpful.

Great video. Thank u alot. These concepts will help me for my upcoming test and more importantly for my clinical career. Thank u once again

You’re a great teacher, Dr. Kushner! I used to tutor anxious nursing and occasionally early pre-med students in A&P, so have a good understanding of and appreciation for your skills. This is truly one of your callings :-)

Love you're teaching skills; really digestible. I was just breaking down the process of whether the brain reacts first to our environment or the system/organ that's eventually effected. You broke it down perfectly!

Thank you so much for the clear explanation as I’m going through understanding the limbic system and the cascade of fear response. Love your clear and simple explanation 🙏🏽

Thank you for the great content!

This is hands down the best psychology content on youtube, please keep it up king

Excellent summary! Thank you!

Very well done and highly informative! Just sent this clip to tons of friends and family. Great job on explaining this part of the brain and it's relation to fear, emotion, and human body response. Thank you!

Excellent job. Easy to understand & very likable instructor. Thanks for being straightforward..wasn't a wasted moment in video& I'm clear on something that has confused me for decades; appreciated indeed by me.

Oh my gosh, you are not only an adorable human but you make learning so much fun which makes it stick. Thanks for making boring and hard-to-understand anatomy engaging. You are a gifted teacher.

I'm already smashing the like button cuz I'm a visual learner so 1 minute in and I'm excited! LOL

Very well explained.. thanks a lot 🙏🏻

Yesss! let's talk about it and the spider webs of people who consistently create fight or flight scenarios..to death. Thank you for being a person of reason.

amazing video! thank you

Thank you so much.

My psychiatrist told me that the pain attacks and fear... I'm having are all because of this named the amygdala and you just made me understand what's really happens when I'm having a panic attack or a fear of something. Words can't be enough to describe how thankful i am. Keep up the good work thanks for making this complicated terms make sense and helping us know more about our bodies and how do they function ❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍

the best explanation. simple and so useful

I enjoyed it and you helped me understand

Thank you Professor😊

Thanks, the parts of the brain can sound so complicated. You made it easy to digest in a short time.

Thank you!

Very nice explanation

Excellent explanation. Well-organized and didactic explanation. Fantastic.

You made it easier to understand. Thanks sir ❤

Extremely detailed. Loved it

Thank you so much!!

So I have just watched a ted talk about self doubt and unconsciousness and in that, the speaker briefly mentions the Amygdala, I had barely heard of this but it sounded interesting so I poorly spelled the word into a google search bar and came across this video and I would just like to say, despite having no understanding of the terminology and the brain on a scientific level, I understood all of this because of your presentation and explanations and this was a very enjoyable video that makes me want to learn so much more about the brain etc, so thank you.

Thank you, that was really awesome presentation

Great explanation, well done! I will refer clients to this video.

Great post my Dr kept telling me my amygdala. Now I understan

a super helpful video! Please make a video on hypothalamus and pituitary gland too, focusing on their functions and role with regulatory functions.

hey this videio really helped me in understanding how to do my school work on this specfic topic. it helped me understand how we actuslly think and realize how we respond to certain things in life, thank u very much!!!!

I very much appreciate this video, I’m doing a fear conditioning experiment for my science fair and needed at least a basic understanding of how these interesting amygdala do thank you

Well explained

Thank you very very very much Sir

Good and detail explanation about amygdala

So helpful!! Cheers.

I JUST CAME ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL TODAY AND NOW I AM GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ONE AT A TIME. Just finished amugdala, took down notes too! I have been very weak at biopsych right from the start and I wish I had a teacher like you back then! Would have fallen in love with Biopsych. I AM PRACTICALLY IN LOVE RIGHT NOW. You explain the concepts so adorably and you make them simple, easy to understand. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AND WHATEVER IT WAS THAT LED ME TO FINDING YOUR CHANNEL. I know I am a bit too excited about this but I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN!!!!

Really good explanation

amazing so beautifully explained. Dr Kushner .. You rock sir. Superb. Loved it though I am not a physician or Dr but you explained so simple and its very connecting indeed . Thanks a lot . Regards Sanjeev

Wonderful video well explained

Loved it !!!!

I am studying about the Buddhist's Dhama and it is exactly the same with this scientific knowledge .. Awesome !!!

Hi sir..thank you very much for providing us information in a very fun and easy way..i want you to make more videos on topics such as- pons, medulla, tegmentum,and tectum. Thank you very much for your efforts.

This kinda explanation is what I was looking for....

You have no clue how much you helped me. This stuff right here, is pure gold! Keep up! Thank you 🫶🏻

Excellent! Thanks

I am an art student if i had know early how intersting biology is i would be a doctor now😁😁😁👌👌👌

Awesome thanks

Fantastisch!!! Thanks.

Sir, plz upload nervous system in detail, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system

Can you talk more about how our bodies response.and processing information speed will increased.that make us feel like time is stoped for us?

My first vid of this channel. Outstanding this explanation. I ended up here after watching a coach slapping his judoka in the face before she got to the mat at the 2021 Olympic Games. So I asked myself: WTF did he do that for? Apparently this was a “defractionation” process of the “fight or flight” responses (trances) that the amygdala automatically provides to that Judoka. The coach basically interrupted that whole process and brought his pupil back to earth (‘the now’). Your vid is very detailed and still very clear even to me as a layman. Good job.

Your explanation is quite helpful very organized and simple, appreciated!

Thanks! 🤙🏽

Very good 😊

Awesome sir

Love your post ❤❤❤❤

Great video! Wondering if you can break down where the inner critic's voice comes from, with regard to those who cultivated it as a coping mechanism raised in childhood CPTSD? ...And, how potentially reparenting ourselves can alter/change the inner voice (true self) to a loving, nurturing, protective resource as we also exercise EMDR/Ego therapy to heal our trigger/flashback responses, etc. BTW- I'm a Gen-X'r, that was raised by a marine father("Great Santini" type). I'm guessing our Patriarchy culture structure has maybe a tendency molded a lot of us in a way that ...in order to get noticed by parents as children, we had to learn to set the behavior bar higher than our care givers expectation, in order to get noticed. I'm also a semiconductor factory technician that struggles with social interaction! I'm mostly a thinker, reflective type and notice a trend of more tech's getting hired as thinkers as well. Your videos are a great supplement to my therapy routine for helping me be okay in my own skin... having thicker skin, while improving self care, compassion and just more mindful in the moment and less reactive to Limbic 4F response... new goal: develop strategies to increase proactive relational/socialQ's of curiosity behavior response, empathy, emotional regulation, nervous system integration!

Finally got the concept of amygdala ✨

Love it thank yoy

very good

I wish you had been my neuroanatomy teacher. I have always had a hard time with abstract information (maths, physics, anatomy) and i really need to visualize, make tangible links and create stories to understand. You do that so well!

when the word "PERFECT" is a video this is what you get:

Great 👍

Very cool
