Yeah, if only she wasn't an anti-vaxxer. On a number of occasions she spoke in a way that could be tl;dr'd as "vaccines bad", and she only backpedaled on twitter after receiving a massive backlash. Her parenting practices are also extremely questionable.

@@JollyWanker She isn't an anti-vaxxer, she is against mandatory vaccination. Nothing wrong with that. There is situations in which vaccines can cause harm to people, and if you look at their medical history it would be wrong to give them a vaccine. Simply put, not everyone can take vaccines, and to force everyone to have vaccines would cause some people to become seriously ill, the whole point of vaccines is to prevent people becoming ill, which defeats the purpose of vaccines. Vaccines should always be a choice, and those that take a vaccine or get surgery or do any medical procedure, should research and be informed on what could go wrong, the pros and cons. When people ignore the cons, and have this blind faith in something, they cause problems in society, by having black and white thinking.
@@TheaDragonSpirit I'm not reading your novel why mandatory vaccination is bad, Karen. Vaccination is and *should* be mandatory. Vaccines save lives. If vaccination wasn't mandatory, we would have kids paralysed due to polio, and even more measles outbreaks than we have now. More infertile boys because they had mumps. Unless your kid has a severe reaction to a vaccine or they are immunocompromised, there is literally *NO* reason why you shouldn't vaccinate
Johnwel Enciso they know that, i think you misread what they said. they said “she doesn’t JUST have a doctorate” aka that is not the only thing she has done/has achieved etc
Dr. Bialik, my 5 year old son thinks you’re the smartest person in the world-he looks up to you so much. He talks of being a scientist on the daily. Thank you for being a great role model to all of us out there driven to study, discover, and enlighten! Science! 👆🦾
I think people should remember that even if we get a degree in something, we don’t have to know all the questions about it, and I like that she wasn’t afraid to show that inaccuracy. Love this woman 😍
It makes a lot of sense that Mayim is both an actor and neuroscientist considering that both are so centered around motivations and their results. Also "I could talk about this for days" please do! I will listen!
I strive to be this casual yet informative when talking about anything of expertise. I mean, she can just go all PhD in neuroscience on us but she kept it layman, without making us feel dumb. When she don't know, she kept it honest too. Such a humble person ✨
hiya, fellow neuroscientist here. you can’t really boil down questions like that to one specific neurotransmitter, but glutamate’s main function is in memory and learning, and it’s probably more involved in those processes than any other neurotransmitter :)
Derek T I feel sad for you. She knows several languages, starred in a hit sitcom as a teen, plays multiple instruments, can act, has written well selling books, is a mother, and has multiple degrees including a doctorate in neuroscience and she’s pretty attractive. Seriously have you even accomplished half of what she has achieved in life??
Listening to Mayim Bialik talk about caffeine and it's effect on the central nervous system, while consuming my morning coffee, is having a delightful affect on my neurotransmitters! 😁
Mayim, I love how we can see the concentration on your face. That you close your eyes or look up. It is exactly how I react as a resident when answering difficult question asked by consultants. Love you. Blessings. DR Z
Wow I think that to get 49 out of 50 questions spot on is pretty remarkable. Obviously she has a PhD but a lot of these questions were more focused on the general topics of neuroscience and I feel like once scientist go into their own specific fields, it’s not that they forget the basics, but they focus more on the basics that affect their specific research. So kudos to her she’s awesome!
Naomi McIlvaine Do you not have a lot of science people in your life? I have multiple science degrees most people in our social circle have at least one science degree. I am used to hanging with well read and well educated people. This is not rocket science trajectory calculations it’s fairly well know basic info like almost all middle schoolers can explain mitosis vrs meiosis etc
Lisa Eichler-Johnson My dude. You said you have multiple science degrees, so it makes sense this is common knowledge to you. Don’t assume everyone knows what you do when you say you have multiple science degrees and hang out with scientists in your social circle.
Lisa Eichler-Johnson With your grotesque language ineptitude, I‘m extremely doubtful of there being any credibility or truth in all of what you have just shared. Besides, why would a self-proclaimed intellectual feel the need to take to RUclips to undermine someone else’s intelligence and boast his/her ‘multiple science degrees’? Rather meet with one of your supposed ‘science buddies’ to discuss your superiority complexes and apparent social inabilities. Maybe they can understand you and look past your language impediments. Shut up, dear! You are not fooling anybody - you’re just making a fool of yourself.
11:34 This was a question a few weeks ago on my grade 12 university biology exam. My answer was, “‘Cause without it you die and then there’s nothing to stasis homeo”. Full marks 😎. I love my teacher so much.
What I really love about her speech is that she’s really explaining things the way people can understand. She doesn’t just give you some scientific expression and move on to next question. That is not really that common among scientists :)
When she was explaining about why neurotransmitters are important I started to realized I am a person listening about neuroscience in another language that is not my mothertongue and still being all involved. Amazing.
For everyone who is confused about why she’s talking about neuroscience when she’s “just an actress”: Mayim Bialik has a degree in neuroscience and a PhD in neuroscience too! She’s not just an actress, she’s a highly-educated scientist and a super talented woman in general! 💛
Sometimes not sleep, not eating right, a subluxation of the vertebrae within the neck or dehydration can cause migraines. Try breathing exercises, drinking some pedialyte with water or see a chiropractor. They do more than just help with back pain. Adjustments are the only thing that will help me. I walked in to my chiropractor’s office crying one day and he adjusted my upper neck and the pain went away with in the hour. I was so thankful i teared up and went back to his office to thank him
Mayim, I went through a period of several years of migraines, and it turned out to be my endocrine system was out of whack; once I was put on two thyroid medications and my thyroid got happy, the migraines stopped. It could be just me, but I’d add bad endocrine support to the list of possible reasons.
you did great! :D I will be choosing a subject for major studies this year...always wanted to try neurobiology, thought I wasnt good enough, because the nervous system itself is so incredibly complex...thanks to you, I kinda wanna try anyway
I love Mayim Bialik... She reminds me SO much of one of my favorite teachers, they could have been twins, they majored in the same thing and have a surprising amount of things in common... My teacher is in her 60s though so she is quite a bit older... Mayim Bialik is one of the few celebrities I would love to meet one day...
Migraine are caused by sensations of the surrounding tissues in the brain like the meninges and blood vessels. Sometime stress can increase b/p or pulse which expand vessel walls and meninges. This sends a signal to the brain and its perceived as pain which are some neurotransmitters like serotonin, glutamate and ACTH/Cortisol. The word ‘stress’ isn’t always referred to as a worried state of mind. Stress can be a physical state of the body, like reading or pore posture. The muscles can get fatigued which causes a referred pain pattern via cranial nerves, to different parts of the head.
Nicotine is very interesting in the nervous system. It binds to nicotinic receptors. Yes, those nicotinic receptors which also act as acetylcholine receptors. Just thank god we also have muscarinic receptors for cholinergic synapses as well.
Not comparable to that one reporter asking her if she was good at calculus but every question is rather focused on medicine than neuroscience. Related sure, but definitely not equivalent
It makes me happy that she isn't just talking about being an actor but about her academic practices
😀👍

I feel like it would be fun to speak with her about literally anything. She seems like a super friendly and genuine person.
Check out her youtube channel, its fantastic. She talks about life, parenting, being Jewish, being an actress and all in between.
I'd love to have a classmate like her omg.
I love that she doesn't know everything. That's how all scientist are like. They admit they don't know and seek the information if they need it.
She knows a lot but not all, and she admits it
That’s how you know if the person is really smart. Smart person never needs to act like they know everything.
Same with doctors! A lot of doctors literally need to look up stuff all the time too
@@itzjustalyssamarie Exactly. They always update their knowledge and try to better themselves. :)
Turns out she knows nothing.
Can we get a podcast or a show hosted by Mayim Bialik where she talks about science?
she’s about to start one, she will talk about mental health topics ☺️

Glutamate is NOT in charge of learning. Her answer that you can’t boil learning down to a neurotransmitter is correct.
THIS. That sounded like an endorsement for quack supplements.
LTP? Im not saying glutamate is the only one but thats probably the reasoning behind the answer

My question would be -
After studying this subject, what immediate, real world changes did you make (and maintain) to the way you live and why?
Lol I heard "between three and four dozen" as between 3 and 48, but in hindsight it was obviously meant as between 36 and 48.
We tend to assume that actors are only that one thing, but so often they've got skills and intelligence related to totally different fields
