      He doesn't believe in "soul"? He has never witnessed a newborn baby, who seems to possess a complete personality and the 20 years later be able to say, "This is the person that I saw at the beginning". Or to hear of the collapse wave of light to a particle when only measured by a person. He is a contradiction of "scientific" evidence.

      That’s awesome!
      I’m pursuing degrees in psychology and neuroscience too!
      I already was an RN for over a decade and have a bit of introduction to neurology etc, through having had various neuro patients, although the majority of my patients were cardiac.
      Now, my passions are definitely neuroscience and psychology oriented. Love the newer awareness of connections between the gut microbiome to neurotransmitters (gut brain axis) and epigenetics.
      I’m also very passionate about attachment theory, consciousness, healing, neuroplasticity.
      For the neuroscience curriculum I want to take almost every class, even though you have to choose out of various classes!
      What are you hoping to do with your degree? There are so, so many possibilities!

    • @Alphacentauri819
      @Alphacentauri819 Před 2 lety

      The frontal cortex is indeed interesting. It isn’t the only aspect that influences why we do what we do however! That, as he said is very complex and influenced by everything from the amygdala to the hippocampus, to epigenetic changes and more. The frontal cortex is the rational center, unfortunately the limbic system more often than not runs the show.
      Conscious mind (prefrontal cortex) is only responsible for about 5% of people’s behavior, while the subconscious mind (limbic system etc) is responsible for 95% of behavior!
      That’s why getting having awareness, introspection and metacognition, can help one be more attune to the subconscious programming that often runs the show. It’s why mindfulness (and it’s positive neuroplasticity effects) is so powerful…it’s the harness, the pause, to the subconscious autopilot behaviors that are responsible for many self sabotaging things people do.

      Misconceptions, and the clearing up of, would take much time, reprogramming of the subconscious, deep introspection and metacognition, separating out many of the conditioned beliefs… it’s a multifaceted, multi nuanced, multidimensional process to ACTUALLY clear up the misunderstandings. Many misunderstandings are built on millennia of ignorance and arrogance…and that takes a lot of work to tease and iron out.

    The Amygdala is the organ of violence and is located inside the Limbic System...
    Fear is stored in this organ.
    And it is where you're anger is stored.
    Where PTSD is stored.
    But the "Insular cortex" is you're moral code, where you know how to do right from wrong....
    Found on the frontal (inner portion) of the cerebral cortex area.....
    "This frontal cortex organ makes you do the harder things when its the right thing to do"..."its you're impulse control, you're gratification postponement, and long term planning, you're emotional regulation"
    "What does the frontal cortex spend a lot of time doing? Its spends most of its time sending inhibitory projections down to the amygdala hoping to race down their in time before you act on you're impulses" so these projections going down to the amygdala helps you think before you act.

      Anger and ptsd are not "stored". They are experiences that become activated within various neural networks when a person experiences which are significant to/for them. PTSD is a multidimentional/complex experience. Anger often does not involve as many neural networks as PTSD does.

    • @garys2414

      Lets see, the insula is not really in the frontal cortex. It is a (small) cortex all it's own, and it kind of lies between the temporal and the frontal cortex. Also I would argue that the fear system within the brain is a complex multilayered system that includes the amygdala but is not limited to it. The insula has a number of functions it contributes to and it also helps process emotion as it is experienced bodily.

    Professor Sapolsky is one of the two most influential intellectuals of our time I enjoy listening to; the other is Terence McKenna. I would have loved to have the two debate -- too bad Terence died so early in life! Need to research if any law journal articles have been published inquiring his physical explanation of the human biology. He could have a huge impact on our criminal law, just as Terence proposed! Then, there is always Professor Robert Lanza to debate as well. His theory of biocentrism is so realistic, especially combined with quantum entanglement. What would Sapolsky say to Lanza!!! Interesting thought . . . .If not, my next project!

      Think about the “why”. The collective conditioning of Japanese society. What is “acceptable” or not, “honorable” or not. Conditioning is powerful. We often aren’t aware, until we deeply examine the subconscious influences.
      Think also about suicide in Japan, also based on the conditioning, expectations and collective repression of emotions. Repressed emotions don’t magically disappear..the body doesn’t forget and it will come out in one way or another. It comes out, in each culture, in various ways.

      I absolutely agree that violence in media can increase and “normalize” violence. Anything we are exposed to repeatedly, has a desensitization effect.
      I guess I missed where he stated that…but you have a very good point, which I absolutely agree with.
      Neuroplasticity is essentially firing and wiring, over and over. It can be used for positive things, learning better communication, a sport, a language, etc…but it can also be detrimental, like when exposed to violence, harmful ideologies, and such.

    @wolfbenson Před 4 lety +2

    Watched it twice. Not sure I got it though. Don't pretend to be knowledgeable enough to really make a comment. But do have a Q. Acc. to what I understood here, a brain made a decision based on: hormones, wiring, structure/function, cultural history, personal history. Seems like a hyped up amygdala had the final word before the frontal cortex could digest it all. And that hyped up amygdala was heavily influenced by all the other "attributes" as he called them. Upon presentation of a stimulus: "person holding something (could be gun)" the perceiver either shot or did not shoot depending on all the previous attributes and perception under specified circumstances. Do I have that right? If I'm missing something, someone please let me know.
    If I'm not here's what I wonder about: What about volition? Is there a personal choice about behavior here in this scenario? It is not a moral choice in this case, just a response to a threat, assuming that the perceiver was a cop or a security guard or something similar. We're talking about a response to a stimulus. Certainly Behaviorists would have a hard time explaining this, I think because the perceiver had no prior learning history, or at least, none that we know of so it was not simply a "learned response." So, is the argument here that the shooter had no volition? No choice? Just a series of preexisting conditions "attributes" that "impelled" him to shoot, or not shoot? Breaking it down: the guy was: CHHBS/F type 1: Culture/history/hormones/brain structure/function and due to this he pulled the trigger or not?
    How about a moral case: Guy is jogging past an apple orchard. Signs up: "private property-keep out-no trespassing, all apples are privately owned, etc." Fences up. Guy jogs by and can easily reach in and pick an apple. No one will ever know. Does he pick or not pick? Is it also based on being a CHHBS/F type 1 or not? In other words, is the behavior determined in the same way when moral decisions are made vs arbitrary acts under given conditions? If yes, are we then accountable for our actions?
    Is there only immoral or violent acts made due to "volitional impairment?" Kids from the hood vs kids from the Hamptons. One kid grew up with stress which affected the growth/functioning of his frontal cortex and that's why he chooses the way he does and the other with little stress and his normal frontal cortex functions well and therefore he chooses/behaves the way he does?

      Great considerations and questions.
      I think our subconscious programming and conditioning have enormous impact on decision making. Of course, an emergent, survival oriented decision is massively different than picking an apple (and the moral reasoning).
      It takes much awareness, introspection and metacognition…so one needs to have very high caliber executive functioning capabilities. It also takes training of over-riding the amygdala. That’s a Herculean effort and most people have no clue that their reptilian brain is at the helm.
      The subconscious is responsible for 95% of our behaviors (mostly) and the conscious aware only 5%! This is enormous in understanding human behavior as well…it’s so multifaceted and multidimensional. That’s partly what makes it endlessly fascinating.
      I’ll digest your questions and hope to come back, but I’m always learning too! Knowing we don’t know is probably the most profound thing we can know!!!

      It could also send you into a constant aggressive/aroused state- overwhelming your frontal cortex- creating massive problems for you and anyone near you.
      Probably just practicing the discipline of study and training up that frontal cortex will be more effective. But (bleh) initially hard till you have practiced.

      Mindfulness would help you 100x’s more than testosterone. Messing with your hormones (when you haven’t had tests that say they are out of whack) is playing with fire. It can have a serious ripple effect. No hormone lives in isolation.
      Learning mindfulness and practicing it daily, can change the brain (neuroplasticity for the win) in incredible ways. That’s the route for overall effectiveness and improvement across every aspect of your life.

      @@justinkerns2640 you are severely misinformed.
      Testosterone can make a person’s amygdala (the dumb ass center, for a lot of situations) perceive more situations as threatening…therefore, some people with higher testosterone will make poor decisions based on that perceived threat. Impulse control and other issues also can be poor…hence more accident deaths, car wrecks, aggressive behavior (that can end in injury or death) and other risky behaviors. None of those are showing full access to the frontal cortex (region for rational choices).
      I’d rethink your narratives, cognitive distortions, biases, and examine the subconscious programming and conditioning which led to you to your “conclusion”…not based in truth, but in belief. Those two are rarely synonymous.

    Forgot to ask. What about Phineas Gage? Great guy, good forman on the job, personable, polite, etc. Then, a railroad spike goes through his head cutting off front of brain from the rest of his brain. Now he's vulgar, impetuous, irrational, wild swinging emotions, etc. Does this show that behavior is nothing but brain structure/function? He had a personality change but did he maintain the ability to make moral or daily living choices?

      I know this is a year old but the Phineas Gage story is very debated, some sources say he really continued to be the polite person he always was; he went on to be a stage coach driver for years, you can’t have that job being an unstable loon. Maybe he could control it still? Maybe it was more of a “I almost died... yolo” thing.
      Fun fact: when he went to the doctor afterwards, he bent over to vomit and a “teacup sized” piece of brain fell out... and then he passed out

    Lol videogame violence didn't help at all when it came to watching my first beheading. Games don't prepare or imitate the smell of metal in the air, it doesn't convey the gurgling and bubleing sounds. I mutch rather had spent a lifetime playing thise shifty games than to go through what I did. Games had nothing to do with it. The first Xbox was still new then.
