How Language Influences The Brain

- Опубликовано: 1 май 2024
- In this episode we slip into the realm of language and its profound impact on human cognition. We uncover the web of neural circuits that underpin language processing, exploring how different systems within the brain contribute to our linguistic abilities. From mapping out brain circuits to understanding the basic distinction between procedural and memory-dependent forms of language, we journey through the complexities of Broca aphasia, anomia, Alzheimer's, and other impairments that shed light on the relationship between mind and brain.

I highly value this channel. Thank you for producing it.
Excellent, very clear, thank you.
Love you Steven pinker ❤

A nice nugget of Philosophy of the Mind. Awesome.
A thing I would like to see is the use of llm to assess language use in early stage diagnosis of different disorders. Could a battery of Q/As given by an llm ai be used to detect a specific pathology?
Your intro/outro music is far too loud, compared to your spoken commentary.
I mentioned this on the previous video but I guess the producers don't read the RUclips comments.
This!
Parkinsons disease makes you have trouble ordering and finding words. Does this mean also for antipsychotics?
It is interesting to see how the brain operates and how language helps us in understanding how the brain could organize language. I wonder if different languages perhaps change the structure of the brain itself. I don't think it should matter too much what language you learn. My hypothesis, would be that no matter how complex a language is (a language with all irregular verbs, for example) the brain will just arrange itself to the complexity and get used to it, maybe.
It seems to me, like maybe our brain seems to like doing things, so everything we do and think, becomes the blueprint for how our brain arranges itself.
Another thing to think about is if the brain is able to adapt and restructure the wiring itself, so for instance if you slice a brain in half, would it relearn everything into the part of the brain that is new?
Is the brain an infinite computer? Is there a theoretical limit to how complex a language get? What if someone had to memorize a million irregular verbs? Obviously, time is a constraint for us all, since we cannot spend 1,000 years learning something, the limitation is set by our lifespan and time, but in theory, could the brain learn ad infinitum and forever? Lots of interesting questions to ask.
