Only by checking our long held beliefs against modern science and research can we hope to prevent the spread of misinformation. Cause, ya know, less than 200 years ago, people still believed in the Four Humors. I am full of black bile.
Come learn brain things!
Thanks to @nevercakegames for help with research, writing and sound effects :)

So true

Classic gingerpale
just a quick FYI: Better help is a pretty bad company. They pay their therapists a lot less than they would get from regular sessions and they've also had a shady rep in the past
Signal boost. I've heard some bad things about betterhelp, and I'm sure if GingerPale knew, he wouldn't have taken the sponsorship
(editing to clarify: they've sold very sensitive personal mental health information to massive advertising companies and hire therapists that don't care about the patients -- or rather, they don't vet their therapists to make sure they're decent at their jobs. Stuff like this could turn someone off talking to therapists forever.)
YES!! they're so infamously bad omg
This!!
Yeah, they apparently sell their patients information
Don’t forget they were also caught and fined by the FTC for selling data to third parties like Facebook. A mental health service, selling patient data. Just gross.
very interesting painting you have in the background gingerpale
He needs Betterhelp
Crack would be better @@alex.g7317
Thanks I made it myself :) it’s me and u and our other friend
Who is the other f-friend? I’m scared for everyone now
@@BagelLord. -You should be.-
Fun fact about betterhelp
mrwhostheboss made a video about them talking that they actually do sell their patients information to 3rd party companies
yes i was just about to comment that
I am just gonna reply again to push this up in the comments
I didn’t want to be the one to break the news so I’m glad someone did
even MORE reason to write them off as suss.
Well youTube is my Therapy you guys are the best even if we fight over silly stuff.
Your brain isn’t piloting your meat suit. You are the brain. You’re a little lump of flesh piloting a bone mech with meat armor.
i like this, i like the bone mech meat armor idea
its generally perceived that you as an entity are not the brain, but rather you exist within it. like a code program on a computer.
its mind, brain, then body.
Bone inner frame and meat armor...
Too much gunpla.
Well not entirely id say. The „i“ can only exist thx to the brain but the brain itself functions so differently from unconscious and conscious there’s no way the thing we perceive as ourselves is the brain
@@aidenaune7008 so... you are a little tiny dude that isn't even really there that controls a lump of... stuff that controls the bone mech with meat armor?
Ginger my friend. My partner is a clinical mental health therapist. I am a strong advocate for therapy. Better health unfortunately harvests user data and sells it to bidders which is so extremly unethical. Just fyi.
Fr?
@@mikelisavinacco2163yeap
@@mikelisavinacco2163 yes fr. Same story with opera gx
@mikelisavinacco2163 yes unless theve changed their practices they way they harvested client data seemed. "Ethically ambiguous" is how I'd put it.
the data stuff is horrible but it's nowhere near the worst thing about them imo. i rarely see anyone talking about the other stuff though. i would recommend looking into it more. mickey atkins has a few videos about it, and that's probably a good place to start
I learned a thing. Thanks Gingey

@@_Rxckstaragreed
Fun fact: The 10% myth basically comes from a game of telephone. A neurologist or something said as of that time (2000 I think?) we only understand how around 10% of our brains work. That got picked up by news companies who way oversimplified what they said, and that was misinterpreted as the 10% myth.
i once read an article in late 2000s explaining how early scanners could only detect voltages at a certain levwl and nothung less, giving the illusion of only 10% of the brain being active. later on more sensitive equipment were able to detect previously undetectable voltages, showing all the brain is active to some degree at incredibly low voltages. some parts being in a standby state or regulating body processes like how computers might run background processes.
Other brain myths (The DLC):
- Brain is made by neurons : Partly true, but theres also a whole lot of other types of cells including ones dedicated to immune response and other that just... exist to hold neuros together (Ok they do more things but is funny to think this way)
- Neurons dont replicate : The term "Neuron" englobes a whole lot of types of brain cells, and some yes, even duplicate
- The brain is closed off from the rest of the body, like a chamber of sorts : You would be horrified to know that theres a connection between your cranium and your spinal column, where cerebrospinal fluid flows at night to your brain to wash it from all the byproducts of brain function (So you could technically call a sleep deprived person a dirty brain)
Also, not related directly to the brain but hearts do not have their own nervous sistem, they have an autonomous sistem made of specilialized muscular cells that just jolt on their own, we even have 3 nodes where the pulse generates that can work for the others in case one fails (Thats arrythmia folks)
Also also, another fun fact, cells come from the same fetal layer (the 3 layers that form 8-9 days after fecundation) as the cells from your skin, freaky.
👅
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE ACTUALLY KNOWS
Is that whole dirty brain thing why brainfog happens? Seems neat.
Thanks for the DLC
Wait, what type of brain cell do I have? I only have 1.
This makes the insult "smooth brain" even better. It's scientifically accurate as well as insulting
It makes big brain a worse sentence to use too :D
Also, if you're looking for scientifically accurate insults, lately i started using "you have less chromosomes than a potato"
It...always was. That was the point of the insult.
SMOOTHBRAINNNNNN
y do i like saying that
Yes
@@unicornpupart because you have one!
“I legally must inform you that better help can not help you teleport” had me cracking up
As someone who studied neuroscience in college, it is good to hear someone explain away these myths in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. It gets annoying to listen to people repeat the same lines rooted in decades old, misinterpreted or misinformed, pop science. The left/right brain one and the 10% of your brain myths annoy me the most because they are entirely nonsensical when put under any scrutiny, yet people still keep repeating them to this day.
5:57 is misinformation, koalas actively avoid eating eucalyptus of the tree due to fallen leaves usually having less nutrition.
with that chicken breast-lookin brain, i don't think they exactly have the knowledge or concern for their diets nutritional values
But i'll look it up :)
Wouldn't be a matter of thought, rather a pattern of behavior that happened to prove beneficial enough to increase survival. Could be those who are too dumb to understand ground twigs spent less time there and thus avoided more predators. Could be those who spent less time eating null leaves were more healthy and attractive come reproduction time.
@@GingerPale Octopuses are famously very intelligent, yet their brains are smooth.
Then again, most of their body's brain power are actually in their arms, and their arms operate fairly autonomously.
Though some very smart bird also have smooth brains.
However, lissencephaly(Basically kids born with parts of their brains smooth) is a disability for a reason.
So uhh, the brain is complicated I guess.
@@GingerPaledid ya look it up?

Well he did say he hit his head.

No, I did 💀💀💀💀💀
“Boy it’s a bad day to be an empath.” Is such an under appreciated line
his videos are always so pleasing to watch, from the colours to the animation and fun visuals
I get so excited when I see the notification that you posted a new video. You put so much time and effort into your videos (if anyone has tried to animate you'll know how time consuming it is). I'll always love your videos
I just finished the brain unit in my anatomy class! This was so fun to watch. I LOVE YOUR UPLOADS
omg new gingerpale video :(
im so happy. i recently just had surgery for a cyst removal in my ovary am cut up really badly around my stomach. i cant sleep long because everything hurts so ive been trying to find ways to distract myself. this video really just made my day. thank you
I'm sorry to hear, I hope you feel better soon!! and thanks for the kind words :)
Hope you feel better
You are the reason I got into animation. Thank you for continuing to share random silly videos with the world :)
I'm happy to hear! I'll go check some of them out :)) THank you!
@@GingerPale that means more to me than I know how to express. Thank you :))
Ain't no way people STILL get sponsored by betterhelp
GingerPale, that painting in the background is really piquing my curiosity!
I didn't learn anything, well besides the koala having extra thumbs, but it's nice to see these common myths set straight. I still know way too many people that believe that stupid "you only use 10% of your brain" myth
Dont forget clamydia basically all coalas have clamydia, even the baby ones , because they eat the mom's pop
GingerPale is so educational and funny at the same time. I love it :).
6:54 german flag in the window in the background 🇩🇪 👌

Bro your videos always teach me things I’d never be able to understand. You explain it all so well!
Remember, kids, in an actual Trolley Problem situation the 5 people are most likely to die…because people tend to freeze meaning they can not flip the switch leading to the train having slightly redder wheels than it would have.
I can't believe the only thing I learned in this video was that koalas have two sets of thumbs
Always enjoying the sounds effects on your videos, love the ambience.
Extremely funny, educational and beutiful art!!! As someone who is learning how to animate and how hard it is, you are amazing❤️ keep going🤩🤩
thank you for this scrumptious brain video it was delicious
6:45 this part is what i think of that ad there.
Great video and get that bread.
It was actually a scientist who said we know 10% of your brains and teacher took that and said we only use 10%
the irony is funny
Your animation is so cute and funny- I just wanna hug your character!
I came into this video expecting nothing and found out something! You gave me the word equilibrioception, and I am overjoyed! Thank you!

Fried Brain 🍃
The thing about the koalas not recognizing food if the leaves fall off, the tree is actually not true. If koalas eat leaves that aren't at their peak nutrition, they can starve to death. So they've learned to avoid eating discolored leaves or leaves that have fallen off the vine, even if it's only by a few seconds
Your animation is so flowy and appealing 😭 the colors are so nice and juicy
This is the first video I’ve watched of you. I subbed before the ad roll. This shit had me laugh the whole time.
Its a good thing our hearts don't stop beating when we notice it like blinking and breathing does
3:42 I would like to keep my excuse for no creativity
With the left-brain-right-brain stuff; to be fair, there have been studies into patients who've had their corpus callosum (fancy term oooh) which is the bundle of nerves connecting the brain hemispheres severed (it used to be an epilepsy treatment) that did show that the left and right brain are slightly specialised for different functions - it was shown in a study by Roger Sperry that the right hemisphere is pretty much mute, but it has access to the left side of the body so you're able to access the information it's stored by drawing. That conclusion was drawn from one task in the experiment where an image or word would be shown to either the left or right eye and the participant would be asked to say what they'd seen and then draw it. The results showed that if the left eye (right brain) was shown something, the participant wouldn't be able to say what they'd seen; but if they tried to draw it with their left hand they would be able to do so. If the right eye (left brain) was shown something, they would be able to say it and I don't remember whether they could draw it (I learned all this in GCSE psychology like 2 years ago lmao but you can look it up anyway)
So yeah there is evidence for lateralisation, but like GingerPale said the left/right brain dominance thing isn't very likely. The hemispheres do different things but you use them both equally.
The music and sound effects are scratching my smooth brain. It's very cool to me, as I'm studing psych and the brain rn!
(also, great video :) 👍✨)
The fact I’m more interested in these videos than actual school says something
It means Gingy is a great teacher :)
Boppity bibbity, your breathing is now a concious activity.

first time watching one of these videos of yours and I am . . . oddly disturbed yet very glad I learned this stuff. thank you
your artstyle is so gutetama it makes my brain tickle I love it so goofy
3:31 I like to think (if it wasn’t confirmed yet) that while we do you all parts of our brain, we might use the right or left side more dominantly than the other.
The misconception that we only use 10% of our brain was actually a misunderstood quote from a neurologist back in like 19 something. But what he actually said was we only know what 10% of our brain does.
I love your funny characteristics for your videos, and you make it so entertaining. Your inspirational, artistic, and, well, your the dude on the internet who actually. Has. A. Good. Ol’. Functioning. Brain.
Gingerpale, I'm begging you to look into the controversaies behind your sponsors before accepting them! betterhelp uses fake therapists and sells your data instead of actually keeping your information private like a good therapist should.
After watching a video exposing BetterHelp, I agree.
Just skip it
@@matthewboire6843 I'm not upset at having to see the sponsor, I just don't think taking this sponsor would be a good idea in the future
@@Donut-Eater oh I see
I tried BetterHelp and the payment plans and service were super predatory- I definitely should’ve looked into it but I was in a very dark place and needed help off the book (thanks to work)
I’m better now thanks to working on myself BY MYSELF- BetterHelp did nothing to help me aside from making me realize I should dig deeper into myself to figure out how to fix my shit
I love how you spend most of your time animating beautiful backgrounds with interesting details so I can make eye contact with a drawing

"This is my outside skull..."
that kid is speaking straight facts.
5:25 If you want to know the full details of what contributes to your intelligence,
well,
uhh,
we don't know. Octopuses are famously very intelligent, yet their brains are smooth.
Then again, most of their body's brain power are actually in their arms, and their arms operate fairly autonomously.
Though some very smart bird also have smooth brains.
So no matter what you say, there's bound to be disagreement on what you said.
The brain is complicated.
I love your vids so glad I found ya again :3)
I personally find the relationship between things like conscious thought, sub-conscious thought, memory, emotion, empathy, stimulus, introspection, and the various forms of instinct to be very interesting, as every single one has an affect on everything, even if indirect.
It also raises a lot of questions like "are there layers to my sub-conscious thought? Is there a conscious thought helper? An automator? What interacts with what and how? Do some parts filter things before they reach primary thought? Do somethings flat out alter certain feelings or memories? How do "lower" parts of the brain learn to do something? How do the various random mind bits provide their input to the conscious brain bit? How does emotion affect the memories of the event being remembered? How do CURRENT emotions affect the memory? How does instinct interact with introspection? How does emotion, sub-conscious or empathy parts of the mind interact with introspection?"
So, so, SO many questions and I believe that they are important for understanding the mind and helping others with basically anything. Like, if you legit just know how someone thinks then it's like empathy MK2.
4:57 Got cha nose.
3:06 Ork moment lmao
Nice video! Really like the style man
Good old GingerPale. Love the videos buddy!

Also I hate the train thing because it gives me anxiety.
6:02 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. I HAVE SUCH A VENDETTA AGAINST KOALAS. THEY’RE SO STUPID, AND NOT CUTE ENOUGH TO MAKE UP FOR IT
Idk, they can be pretty cute... until you learn literally ANY disgusting fact about them.
Like the fact that they're native to Australia.
@@claylilac3023 Bro, they suck so hard. The ONLY reason they are still a species is because predators don’t consider them worth it. They have next to no nutritional value, so why bother? The literally survive by not being worth the effort 😂

0:04 odd letters... stray alphabet?
?2N??A1
2?A?
? = unknown symbol.
clearly not the stray alphabet
interpreting the letters by what theyre probably supposed to say it - blue and red sign is probably "open" - seems like:
o = :
p = |͞
e= |͞ .
n = |̄
and the sign says:
?o???e?
"coffee!" would be my guess but that implies two (" |͞. " and " |̄°") symbols for "e", not unheard of (see _stray_ alphabet) and im guessing a "!" because gingerpale likes whimsy.
"BobaTea" could also be it though that implies two "b" symbols (B and b?) as well as two "a" symbols.
this may be a whole language i dont know or just a fancy typeface for english. idk.
I forgot i even did this, i think you got it with the boba hahha
