OK, my wallet was stolen yesterday. My first reaction was panic and the overwhelming feeling of losing credit cards and a couple documents like ID. It helped when I planned to phone my credit card company and a couple other places to inactivate any important cards, and made a plan to renew my ID card the next day. Just by making a few phone calls and make plans for the next day I felt more in control. State of mind is important.
Wow. Actually informative, deep dive into the literature and current knowledge. Expertly simplified and written to reach a lay-audience. Truly grateful for your time, thank you.
Really good presentation Andrew, Thanks for the work you put into it. I am going to put the link into my newsletter I send out to my patients. The "Looking Forward" and "Three Good Things" will be such good therapy for people to take up.
Substantial! I appreciate that you make clear the tie between our bodies and brains with our mindset. Thanks for the string proof and the useful practical.
I recommend a shoot through teleprompter, it helps with the engagement with the eyes since you're looking into the camera through the reflected content being delivered or conveyed. Great Video and very engaging! Also instead of cross lighting, use a right side key light, with a little fill on the left side traditionally, also instead of relying on auto focus, just set the focus ahead of time using a lamp, or light stand, and close your aperture a little and boost the iso on the camera, or a little brighter light to bring up your production value. I really enjoy the insight you provide! Great set design!
Hey I have a request Could you record video about reticular activating system I cant find any video regarding this comprehensive and fascinating topic Thank you
Sir first of all thanks for the video all again! I have been thinking of ways to get into neuroscience and combine it with my MD license in the future. But I actually don’t know how to and all I can do rn is to keep my enthusiasm in neuroscience by reading books such as Behave by Sapolsky. Any advice on what I can do for the future? I don’t know if I made myself clear but I really want to do science and maybe explore something about brain. Should I seek an internship abroad or something? I’m watching from Turkey btw😊
Too Good 💎 What would be some best books to read for tackling Hopelessness in chaos or ambiguity and creating self belief again after setbacks in career or job search..
Would you help me to find more information about 5-HT2A -2C receptor distribution in the mesolimbic and VMPFC, DLPFC, and Insula-amygdala pathways? And can you tell me the easiest sources, like books with illustrations, explanations, and diagrams (other than Stahl's essential or illustrated books), videos, etc., that help me know more about the different pathways of every neurotransmitter or modulator and their functions in depth?
I wonder why the DRN causes that response in the PAG and amygdala. I'm also guessing that these areas are excited rather than inhibited, because I recall most serotonin receptors are actually inhibitory. I don't really know about the nuances of why an area has more excitatory response to a neurotransmitter or a more inhibitory response, but I'd assume it has something to do with receptor concentrations?
According to research by Stephen Maier, during uncontrollable stress the DRN seems to inhibit the PAG and excite the amygdala. Serotonin receptors can be excitatory (for example the 2A receptor) or inhibitory (e.g. the 1A receptor), but the real question is what kinds of neurons these receptors are expressed on. For example, if it's an inhibitory GABA-releasing neuron expressing an inhibitory 1A serotonin receptor, then when serotonin binds to it the net effect in that neural circuit might be excitation (because the serotonin is inhibiting an inhibitory neuron).
