I love how Dr Sapolsky looks like a typical clueless dad loafing on a couch. Then he opens his mouth and reminds us how brilliant and articulate he is. ❤
Virginal children of mine, please cover your ears! Robert Sapolsky is an extraordinary mix of an exquisite scholar and a superb stand-up comedian. Which is why we all love this podcast!
That's the "myelin sheath" that facilitates the ease at which my moderately educated hunter-gatherer brain is able to comprehend the material. I owe this guy a lot... and these interviews that reinforce the lectures in such a learnable manner only increase my debt of awareness and scientific knowledge to the generosity of the Sapolsky family.
My brother, who lives in the Bay Area and tangentially knows some Stanford “gossip”, said many professors respect but kinda “hate” Dr. Sapolsky because he is so admired for his teaching/lecturing skills. He’s on such a high pedestal because very few have the skills that compare to his lecturing genius. I know I can believe this! 🔥 Thank you Sapolsky family! Another fabulous episode. 🌟
I used to feel particularly unlucky for my ailments but the more I learn I fee it's a miracle there's people without any type of disorder or illness.. Everything about us is the result of elegant and complicated meat magic and even our most mundane seeming functions like sleep are modulated by myriad of factors. It's a miracle so many things do work well!
I think disorders are very broad in intensity and other parts of the brain and nervous system counteract. Causing folks to seem without disorders. I think folks with every detail perfectly functioning is likely close to zero percent. The other thing you may consider is that folks may realize what stimulates their hidden disorder more and tend to create certain avoidances and positive habits that hold the disorder at bay. We are very self correcting machines if intensity of disorder is fairly weak.
Wow! The more we know, the more we know we need to know. Another fascinating discussion. I cant tell you how lucky i feel i am to sit here in my Michigan living room and learn things i never before would have been aware of.
My favorite show, both hands down and 2 thumbs up! I'm passing on to others all over the place. Thank you for the most informative entertainment online. I feel like I'm sitting in the car or at home, listening to my own father. He was also a brilliant neurologist--though not nearly as humble and engaged with sharing his knowledge with his children. What a difference it makes . Thank you for being so accessible and teaching in a way that I can thoroughly understand. If indeed, "Information is Power" then learning about human behavior-brain chemistry-and "what" as well as "who" we are as Beings on the Earth, then your sessions are vital to our ability to keep on keeping on. Will be checking out DETERMINED at library. Please keep lifting us up to help us understand and deal with the current state of US culture and politics. We need SO much insight to gather the "wherewithal" to deal with these current imbalances of power and dis-eases of our collective psyches. I've been a holistic FNP for over 40 yrs...as my father was nearing the end of his 90 yr life, he said to me, "You know, I think you'd had something right all along. I think if we as physicians were better at helping people learn to relax, that would be a very good thing." Haha! What a laugh he got out of me!! I hope he would've loved and honored you as much as I do!
Every topic covered today is immediately relevant to several people in my life. Thank you for this series. I spend each Wednesday in gleeful anticipation, muttering, "It's Sapolsky day!" to myself!
Seeing the whole family together at the end was a beautiful sight, and gives me optimism, that if the hands of time time allow, the next generation can exponentiate this information into a bright and less daunting future. Bravo all, even if you think you don't deserve it LOL!!!😀 So, does the 25-hour free-running clock that is trained by our attribution of 24-hours to a day correlate to a natural 25 hours if we removed or account for leap year?
I am a 27 year sober alcoholic/addict. I can be around alcohol in any situation and not be triggered, but seeing someone be injected, or being injected myself, immediately brings a rush of saliva, a taste and a 'wanting' to my brain. Best wishes to the Von Trapp family for the silly season ❤
Great to see the whole family together! Dr. Sapolsky, thanks for this channel and thanks for sharing your family and wisdom with us! Happy Holidays and Seasoned Greenbeans!
Thank you so much once again. Great to see the family participating together in this enjoyable session. Interesting topics and valuable information. Bye!
Good discussion and family gathering. Interesting about pain, something we all wish to avoid. When I had a nerve block for a recent root canal, my hygenist gave a very gentle distracting rub opposite side from the shot. Though just a slight glance, it really helped to distract from the experience of the shot. Interesting to consider what brain activity might have been at play there. Wishing all of you a happy holiday season. Thanks for sharing.
thank you for talking about sleep. when i was homeless people kept askign why i had trouble with my moods and this was one thing i told people but they didn't believe me
Growth hormone being released during sleep reminded me of an old greek saying by grandmothers and such:" sleep nurishes the children". Amazing videos btw thank you so much.
Chronic pain is the worst. I think perhaps targeting novel areas may be what solves the crisis. Since it is indeed the cells holding on to memories, perhaps targeting nerve growth factor, combined with new stimulus such as targeted exercise could "untangle" the mess of nerves causing the chronic pain. Like redirect the pain to say look over here, with a muscle soreness that goes away within a short time.
Mercy! I wish I could listen and process as fast as he speaks. Thank you for acknowledging the detriment of interrupted sleep for residents. It’s a wonder we have as many mindful and successful docs as we do.
Great explanation for trying to understand why mothers can easily fall into postpartum depression, perception of pain, circadian clock and the importance of having a supportive partner and society just can make a huge difference in life's baby and family. Thank you Dr. Sapolsky.
Hey all, Thanks for the great discussions! There seems to be delay on the Spotify. The latest episode is still not there after ~6 hours. Not sure if it is because of the timezone difference.
Does the pineal gland and melatonin have any relationship with circadian process and what is the genetic aspect? Epigenetic? Lithium is very toxic and requires careful monitoring of the patient.
With regard to chronic pain: I want to believe that there is a way to intervene at the level of the top-down pathway by utilizing a combination of hypnotic suggestion, mindfulness meditation, disrupting pain catastrophizing thoughts and so forth-- even when the pain results from a structural issue of some sort. Tell me that this isn't merely wishful thinking!
Cortisol level 💯 is a huge part of human health complications . Shouldn't be ignored 🙁 Cortisol pumping from stress ongoing long-term, will have horrible effects on well-being. Interfering in normality. Anxiety hyperensor's of environment 😊
Well done. Extremely informative. Both my parents were in WWII. My Austrian mother was made an orphan in the UK at age 14. My USA father joined the Canadian Air Force. A tail gunner he was the only one to survive a crash and spent two years as a prisoner of the Germans. They and their three kids were bipolar to some degrees. I matured to be less so. . Doing well at 69 (age that is). Being so detached from the norm has had the lovely advantage that spent time studying brain science and after decades of work (keeping my day job most of that time) I figured out the mind function. That's how we create thoughts and what it means to be conscious (as Dennett says, not as important as we think it is. Basically, unspoken explicit memory). I am perhaps a year from completing the paper, yet haven't a clue how to get it peer reviewed. It is a scientific paper, one disappointing to anyone hoping that the mind is in some complex way linked to the universal or the immortal. It's a biological algorithm that primarily works in bipeds with large cerebral cortexes filled with LT Memory chains. All the best, Sapolskies.
this is awesome. good luck on getting your paper published, otherwise consider open sourcing it or releasing it publically online or something. contacting people who have similar published work might be a good option. enjoy your journey!
@@imthinkingthoughtsThank you for some good ideas. I was hoping to seduce Sapolsky into offering to read a draft, but one can imagine how many such requests he gets. Before publishing my work, I would need to have it peer reviewed by the few people in cognitive science who have the scope to understand it quickly. That's a big order. If that never happens, they you are correct. Throw it out into the world like a message in a bottle and see if anyone gets it. Thank you for thinking good thoughts.
Can you break down E.O. Wilson's scandalous returning to the group selection? He explained that with some kind of math in his book and I didn't get it at all. Every apostle of him furiously backfired to the founder of the field, I heard. So I'm curious what happened to the evo biology.
The relative commonality of bi polar conditionality correlated to non conscious states or sleep within industrialised worker capitalistic modernity suggests modernisation constructed a worker identity that requires eight hours of conscious attention to operate machines which if not reliable becomes the disorder. The next transition where machines via advanced AI emulates a prototypical modern worker entails a return to Arcadia where workers can in-group select to a mechanism for certain virtual hyper alert states that mimic for predation at the perimeter of the camp and thus return to a normalcy of their genetic lot.
I suffer from post hepatic (?) neurology which is a byproduct of shingles that occurred on the left interior wall of my throat. Any ideas on what's going on with those nerves? Is it continuing irritation of the nerves by the herpes zoster viruses?
Robert, do you have notes in front of you, or is this all connectome!?? Curious. I must keep notes, even fully script, when I have a complex topic to get cover.
It seems like he speaks extemporaneously! It doesn’t appear that he glances down or to the side of the camera at notes. Maybe he goes over answers ahead of time when Racheal gives him questions to research. But by any criteria, he’s a master at teaching and lecturing. A gift to us all!
Curious , this is the first time I noticed him looking over to his left, our right. When naming that long GB8Ab protein thing towards the end. I also would bet all the money in my wallet his daughter gives him the topics ahead of time so he can be prepared mentally for them, and gather what he wants to say about them.

If antipsychotic medication can be implicated in dopamine supersensitivitu, can't that increased sensitivity to reward, then cause some bipolar-type problems? I began taking Seroquel, off-label, as a "mood-stabilizer," in 2010, partly to improve quality of sleep. It did make me feel like I had lost consciousness, and at least was still at some point, which had been a problem, vascillating between a restrictive eating disorder and exercise addiction, and then being sedentary and binge-eating for weeks and months. I don't think people who might have a metabolism that is sensitive to change, should be given an antipsychotic so casually. Every time I take one, there is about a minimum of 40 lbs I gain, or that I can't burn off, no matter how active I am.

One underrated thing about prof. Sapolsky is how well placed, his humorous remarks are.
His stealth humor is genius. I love it.
You spends years in the jungle with nothing but baboons for company, you develop a sense of humor.
That's the "myelin sheath" that facilitates the ease at which my moderately educated hunter-gatherer brain is able to comprehend the material.
I owe this guy a lot... and these interviews that reinforce the lectures in such a learnable manner only increase my debt of awareness and scientific knowledge to the generosity of the Sapolsky family.
0:40 --- His genuine, delightful smiles cannot be contained at seeing his beloved wife. Truly loving and so heartwarming. ♡
I'm so jealous (in a good way)
Agree 🥹
I’m up at 2:50 AM watching this. Somehow this topic seems relevant,
I've been up for over 30 hours now and have no idea how I got here
My brother, who lives in the Bay Area and tangentially knows some Stanford “gossip”, said many professors respect but kinda “hate” Dr. Sapolsky because he is so admired for his teaching/lecturing skills.

That wouldn't surprise me. Egos are huge in academia.

Well at least you can't blame them
Haters gonna hate.

So nice to see you all together! Thank you for making this wonderful resource, and presenting it in such a friendly and accessible manner. Kudos!
This was really interesting to hear as someone with bipolar 2.
Thank you so much once again. Great to see the family participating together in this enjoyable session. Interesting topics and valuable information. Bye!
Thank you all for this wonderful episode!
Thank you from a depressingly dark Estonia. Luckily the Christmas lights are already on.

You are one of my favorite neurobiology academics. It would be great for you to write a book on many of the subjects covered in these podcasts.
Look at his lectures from Stanford . Amazing.

Omg!!! Just found out robert sapolsky has his own youtube page!!! This is awesome! 👏
Welcome! I'm surprised the channel doesn't have at least 200k subscribers.
What a lovely family, thanks y'all!
The whole gang!!!! Great show like every show!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Wonderful video and family! Peace and goodness to all of you!
Beautiful family Robert!!!
Thank you for these interviews presented with genuine enthusiasm and some humorous bits as well. Best wishes to your family!
Thank u Robert❤❤
I remember listening to Mr Sapolsky years ago. It became regular and now I am kind of addicted and try to deal the vids to everyone I know. .
SAPOLSKYS on the LOOSE 🎉 WOO!?

Heartwarming!!!
The Mary Poppins joke when talking about circadian rhythms was too funny!
Your family gives me hope for the future. Keep these videos coming!
So much I love seeing Sapolsky family together!🥰
You guys are so awesome. Love these videos! Thank you 🙏🏻
What an awesome family
Mercy! I wish I could listen and process as fast as he speaks.
Thank you for acknowledging the detriment of interrupted sleep for residents. It’s a wonder we have as many mindful and successful docs as we do.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the loving Sapolsky family members. ❤
Thank U
Great explanation for trying to understand why mothers can easily fall into postpartum depression, perception of pain, circadian clock and the importance of having a supportive partner and society just can make a huge difference in life's baby and family. Thank you Dr. Sapolsky.
I recently found out that I have atypical depression. I have hypersomnia. There are other things too, like I overeat instead of undereating.
Thank you Father Sapolsky :D
Happy Thanksgiving Sapolskys! :)
I cant believe i missed this!
Awesome format!👏🏻👏🏻
beautiful and informative ay the same time
lovely family! much love
Love the Von Trapps!

Wow, the whole clan in one swoop

How normal is it to watch this channel and come up with several questions of your oww?

I have noticed that Dr. Sapolsky doesn't talk about polyvagal theory. I would love to hear if he thinks it is a valid concept, or not.
you might have to submit the question using the link they provide in the description
That's probably because it's Hippie nonsense. The vagus nerve is real, polyvagal theory is a RUclips fad.
Can you please talk about adhd.
How can any believe in free will after those questions?
How does visceral hypersensitivity start in post infectious irritable bowel syndrome?

If antipsychotic medication can be implicated in dopamine supersensitivitu, can't that increased sensitivity to reward, then cause some bipolar-type problems? I began taking Seroquel, off-label, as a "mood-stabilizer," in 2010, partly to improve quality of sleep. It did make me feel like I had lost consciousness, and at least was still at some point, which had been a problem, vascillating between a restrictive eating disorder and exercise addiction, and then being sedentary and binge-eating for weeks and months. I don't think people who might have a metabolism that is sensitive to change, should be given an antipsychotic so casually. Every time I take one, there is about a minimum of 40 lbs I gain, or that I can't burn off, no matter how active I am.
That is, eating disorders can result in some bad insomnia and wacky circadian rhythm
No one in the comments is talking about how his hand gets cut off on the side 😂😂
I wonder why
I'd really like to know what's going on in that alternate reality your right hand keeps dipping into.
