    A girl is undergoing surgery. The goal is to remove one of her brain hemispheres. How did neuroplasticity help her to rewire her brain? At the same time, dementia (and especially Alzheimer's disease) is on the rise. Can we use neuroplasticity to learn new skills and lower the risk of getting dementia? Let's find out!

    CS is a girl who suffered from a rare disorder called Rasmussen's encephalitis. As she suffered from regular seizures the only viable option was to remove one of her brain hemispheres. Although this is a highly risky surgery, CS did not only survive but her brain could also mostly compensate for its loss. The reason for this is a phenomenon called brain plasticity. Brain plasticity is a process where new connections within existing brain cells are formed. Brain plasticity always happens when we learn new things and the great thing is that brain plasticity can also help to rewire or hack our brains. Studies have shown that neuroplasticity led to larger hippocampuses in taxi drivers and lower amygdalas in people who reduce their stress. If you want to hack your brain (rewire your brain) through brain plasticity you need to learn new things. Learning a second language for example changes brain regions and lead to a better attention span. A healthy diet and exercise can promote brain metabolism and improve brain plasticity. You can also rewire or hack your brain by reducing the amounts of stress. Besides making us smarter, learning new things also helps to reduce the risk of getting mild forms of dementia. Brain plasticity can lead to cognitive reserves here meaning that it takes more damages to the brain until we develop symptoms. Of course, brain plasticity does not exclude the possibility to develop dementia (or Alzheimer's disease) but in can help to alleviate symptoms and lower the risk!

    I seriously love that the brain is capable of so many things, and what I find the most exciting is that you are not born with the same brain you are able to get. We can do so much to improve our brain structure, but yet people always find a way to complain. I doubt that genetics played a massive role in geniuses in the 20th century. I think that self improvement played as big role as their genetics did. Keep learning and you'll see benefits!

    I tried a 1 hour window to eat from 5pm to 6pm and then I didn't eat for 23 hours. After a week of this, I woke up one morning and I felt like I could remember anything I had learned that week instantly. I could feel my brain firing and thinking so clearly. I think the food we eat has a significant weight on our mental and physical health in our lifetime. I'm trying so hard to eat meat, raw veggies and fruit daily and nothing else. Sometimes I go off the wagon. Sugar definitely hinders my thought process. Really enjoyed your video by the way!

      Digesting food is a huge stress for the body, for the digestive system. Thats why its better to eat less times and not 5 times as they say. 5 times keep people damb enough.

    • @joshuaerny9642
      @joshuaerny9642 Před rokem +3

      Fasting raises stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. That is why you’re able to think clearly and recall things. Eating meals with carbohydrates raises insulin which then lowers adrenaline drastically. Your brain is not getting any actual improvements from fasting. You’re simply in a “fight or flight” hormonal state.

    • @joshuaerny9642
      @joshuaerny9642 Před rokem

      What you said is entirely bro science. Try eating 3 whole meals in one sitting. That’s highly uncomfortable and often puts too much demand on your body. I always feel comfortable and not in any distress from eating a 600-800 calorie meal 3 times a day. But if I ate 1800-2400 calories in one sitting I would feel like throwing up. I would also need lots more water to help me process that meal which would lead to me heavily diluting my stomach acid. It’s a recipe for heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea, or nausea. Try eating 1800-2400 calories on a high fat keto diet; your gallbladder wouldn’t stand a chance at processing that amount of dietary fat; you’d have liquid shits constantly. Try to eat 1800-2400 of carnivore diet food; all of that protein would put insane distress on your system in one sitting. If you were doing a high carb diet, eat all those carbs in one sitting would spike insulin insanely high- not a bright idea. Smaller meals are what your body is naturally better at processing. Now look at the downside: fasting. You are fighting nagging hunger much more often throughout the day. Lots of people feel sluggish once their liver glycogen gets low. Having a medium size meal as needed will keep serotonin levels higher so you don’t get “low carb cranky” like many people who do fasting experience. In summary: huge meals in one sitting stress you greater during the meal and then you are stressed for an excessively long time after the meal. Do you drink water like that? Do you down 2-4 quarts of water in one sitting too? Or does your common sense kick in only with water drinking? Clearly, spacing out water intake is far more comfortable and logical. Why overhydrate when you don’t need that much water in the moment and stress your kidneys, stomach, blood, and brain to the extreme? Then why suffer through effects of dehydration the rest of the day from not drinking at all!? Makes more sense to have a 24-32 oz with a medium size meal. The water gets absorbed better thanks to the meal, but it’s not so much water that you waterlog your entire system. Humans like things in moderate ranges. Extremes don’t usually work out for the majority

      @nick_jacob Před rokem +2

      @@joshuaerny9642 Yeah, except my one meal was only about 1000 calories and not a full days worth. Not eating for 24 hours once a week should be fine. The rest of the week should be determined by the amount of activity you do. Counting calories hardly ever works for me. Actually, it's never worked. The only time i've been able to steadily lose weight was with intermittent fasting. A 6/18 split would be fine with 1600 calories worth of food would be fine.

    • @errebusaether
      @errebusaether Před rokem +6

      That’s because half the brain is forced to double the effort which develops more neurons and stronger cognition. But there are downsides to this as it can affect your ability to adapt and be versatile in many ways. It practically limits you but in exchange you gain a massive boost in neuron activities. It’s like a savant syndrome. But let me observe this video first to clarify whether what I am saying isn’t wrong.

    I was expecting more detailed information/some concrete ways of improving neuroplasticity. Like you didn't mention that trying to do something new and failing triggers neuroplasticity while doing that thing, and that the consolidation of that newly learned skill/knowledge happens at sleep, which is why sleep is so important for neuroplasticity and learning.

    Actually, Neuroplasticigy and Neurogenesis go Hand in Hand. We still creat about 700 hundred new neurons per month and they have the longest lifespan of any type of cell, around 8 months. To such a Point that at the age of 50 we have finally replaced the brain cells we had when we were born.
    Other cells like bones and etc. Have different spans, those last 10 years about and we have another skeleton each 10 years, for, we replace their nutrients on a daily basis... It is even eetimated that your eyes are replaced every 2 days!!!! So she developed new brain cells, and, although her brain wasnt creating another half, like the liver, she did train her left side to develop the same skills she had in the right side.
    Also, both sides, although focus on logical Left and emotional right, communicate between each other so they have a sketch so to say of your other half, thus, having the capacity to develop their functions in case of need.

    Started using computers a bit over twenty years ago and always felt there was a promise in the technology I couldn't find?
    Then I tried VR.
    I figured I'd like it because I quite liked 3D movies.
    I have played computer games here and there over the years but never found them all that compelling so would not describe myself as a gamer.
    VR changed that.
    Feel like I have learnt more in the last few years than in the previous twenty.
    For a good while I really felt like a kid again, profoundly excited by the possibilities before me.
    That's worn off now but I'm still learning and still enjoying VR a great deal.
    It still seems overwhelming, there's just so much I need to understand.
    But I'm enjoying the journey so while it can seem daunting there's no reason to give up even if it happens that I can never do what I would like to?
    I am someone who has always enjoyed learning.
    I think it truly unfortunate that society makes it so difficult for adults to continue educating themselves.
    In a world so dependent on technology it might even be societal suicide?

    I was addicted to heroin for 20 years, and benzos a kittle longer. My entire adult life. I read about neuroplasticity and bought a guiat when I had my last relapse and said "enough, I'm done".
    I had also been diagnosed with epilepsy a few years before.
    I've been learning the guitar for 18 months and I've completely lost all desire to get high. That's nothing short of a miracle. I'm not addicted to a different kind of gear, and blues.

      That’s great! My music director husband had to learn a little bit about all types of instruments in college. He said the guitar was by far the most difficult for him. He was shocked and humbled because he prided himself on his musical abilities.
      At the risk of sounding like your mother, I’m proud of you. My own mother has dementia now and I’m emotionally struggling with my fear of it. There is a lonely guitar upstairs…maybe I should dust it off.

      Well, God is energy and so is consiousness in Essence our consciousness is God.
      So our mental activity finds a thought in our brain so it becomes a combination of our Ego and our soul.
      Now Buddha isnt a person Buddha is a consiousness outside of Ego.
      A wave of light is no longer God for it has a destination towards a negative however if the frequency becomes high enough that it is no longer a wave but a singular point of existence you'll experience Buddha its a state where time is no longer relevant you'll be everywhere at once and be everything at once you could say this is the consciousness of God cant really know for sure ofcourse.... But it is deff a profound experience that changes the perspective of who or what we actually are.
      Ego is probably a lie and there might not even be an individual Existence.
      High energy and positivity enjoying the things you do generate serotonin so in Essence to be good at something to learn quick is to enjoy the things youre doing.

No fluoride, take apple cider vinegar, etc... you can look it up. Maybe it's just because it's not functioning properly... because they put all the poisons in the food and water and that shuts it down. That's where I would start. Take wild lettuce and turmeric for pain. I'm shocked at how well it works. Also take ashwagandha. It does numerous great things that I think will help you. They want everyone taking a bunch of meds to manage symptoms but never getting well. They don't want you well. They want a customer for life. Also do intermittent fasting. Dr bergs version... keto w 7 to 10 cups of veggies or salad a day. If you do all of that, I bet you'd be feeling great in no time. And your dr will hate it and yell you it's dangerous. Lol.
