after two years of study at university, finaly I got the function Amygdala.
Yeah me too 7 years of study just now know the function. I'm major in accounting by the way
saya pernah alami amygdala hijack... saya sakit ..last sy potong kaki paras peha.... kputusn tu bukn khendak sy tapi kehendak bnda mnguasai tubuh sy... sy terperangkap dlm siri yg hnya mampu mnjerit² x nk potong...
I’m a bored stay at home mom 😂
So where are the memories from the fear conditioning stored? And how can we change this to treat PTSD?
@@mrandmrsragdoll6397 are you medicated? For me pills and keto way of eating change alot, and i am more functional. All the best
I have just recently concluded through self analysis and reading and watching/studying YT channels about the brain that I am "seeing, feeling and adopting" more positivity after a life time of negativity and skeptism. I never thought it possible that I would ever see the light.THANK YOU dude for the pathway and confirmation.
Dr. Kushner, I shared your lecture with my patient as an introduction to why we are training parasympathetic responses as well as using CBT to identify what possible experiences have trained his fear reactions I like research about positive emotions as a function. That is why we can neutralize the fear with a positive thought. Love the intense emotions lecture. I'll use it too help patients understand and know that they can cope.
Hi Jacqueline, I'm so happy you shared my lecture on the amygdala with your patient. I find more and more mental health professionals using these kinds of videos with their patients to showcase how the mind and body work.
Great video, really clear explenation. Thanks!
Thank you. This was great and very helpful.
This is such a fantastic video and so well explained!!! I'm so glad I found your channel :D

OMG. Thank you! so helpffull
Thankyou very much sir for such a clear explanation that was truly helpful in my studies and research
Love this video about to watch it again
My psychiatrist told me that the pain attacks and fear... I'm having are all because of this named the amygdala and you just made me understand what's really happens when I'm having a panic attack or a fear of something. Words can't be enough to describe how thankful i am. Keep up the good work thanks for making this complicated terms make sense and helping us know more about our bodies and how do they function ❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
Memsaab it is complicated.but yes mostly it is amygdala but you can program it.you can even remove amygdala if your problem is out of control.in Famous experiment they removed they removed amygdala of monkeys
Panic attacks...suck...I've had hundreds. Literally countless. They're not fun.
@@mayurdongardive614 how you program something that is constatly fluid with cortisol, adrenalin..? With nutrition yes*
@@stellaancimer8505 They're working on high-tech methods of directly targeting the amygdala and even shutting off the troublesome parts of it.
Great video! Helping me with a school project :)
I'm already smashing the like button cuz I'm a visual learner so 1 minute in and I'm excited! LOL
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much.
Yesss! let's talk about it and the spider webs of people who consistently create fight or flight scenarios..to death. Thank you for being a person of reason.
Pure gold....and very well explained
Glad it was helpful. I’ll take silver too 😎
im blown away. i had a hard time trying to learn this thru my texts but i understood it so quickly w you, ty so much
You're very welcome!
Thank you!
This is hands down the best psychology content on youtube, please keep it up king
Thank you for the kind words :)
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for watching :)
Thank you so much!!
Amazing method of teaching! He really knows how to simplify things and keep one engaged throughout
yes i actually got through the video and felt happiness
Yes! Totally agree :)
I enjoyed it and you helped me understand
Oh my gosh, you are not only an adorable human but you make learning so much fun which makes it stick. Thanks for making boring and hard-to-understand anatomy engaging. You are a gifted teacher.
Oh thank you!
Very nice explanation
amazing video! thank you
Very well explained.. thanks a lot 🙏🏻
My pleasure 😊
Excellent summary! Thank you!
Thanks for coming to my channel Trevor!
Love you're teaching skills; really digestible. I was just breaking down the process of whether the brain reacts first to our environment or the system/organ that's eventually effected. You broke it down perfectly!
Thank you for the kind words! Love that phrase “really digestible”. This is the core of every video I make :)
Thinking about how we respond to the environment is such a great topic. If you want to research something cool look up “reflex arc”. Our reflexes (like touching a hot stove) is controlled by our spinal cord - our brain is not aware we have touched something hot (or stepped on something sharp) until AFTER we remove our finger (foot) 🧠😎
Thank you very much for creating these videos. They are extremely helpful for someone just starting out on their quest to the understanding of the human mind. Keep up the good work SIR!
Loved it !!!!
You’re a great teacher, Dr. Kushner! I used to tutor anxious nursing and occasionally early pre-med students in A&P, so have a good understanding of and appreciation for your skills. This is truly one of your callings :-)
Thank you for such kinds words 😁
Thanks, the parts of the brain can sound so complicated. You made it easy to digest in a short time.
So happy I could help!
Very well done and highly informative! Just sent this clip to tons of friends and family. Great job on explaining this part of the brain and it's relation to fear, emotion, and human body response. Thank you!
Great to hear! I hope you friends and family don’t suffer from arachnophobia 🕷️
You made it easier to understand. Thanks sir ❤
wonderful!
I very much appreciate this video, I’m doing a fear conditioning experiment for my science fair and needed at least a basic understanding of how these interesting amygdala do thank you
Glad it helped! What is your experiment?
Thank you so much for the clear explanation as I’m going through understanding the limbic system and the cascade of fear response. Love your clear and simple explanation 🙏🏽
So happy you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻
Excellent job. Easy to understand & very likable instructor. Thanks for being straightforward..wasn't a wasted moment in video& I'm clear on something that has confused me for decades; appreciated indeed by me.
Thank you! So glad you found my page :)
Thanks! 🤙🏽
Extremely detailed. Loved it
Glad you liked it!
Great post my Dr kept telling me my amygdala. Now I understan
Hi sir..thank you very much for providing us information in a very fun and easy way..i want you to make more videos on topics such as- pons, medulla, tegmentum,and tectum. Thank you very much for your efforts.
Thank you for the kind words! Unfortunately I am not touching on these topics right now. However, I am posting a video on the Limbic System next week.

Thank you very very very much Sir
Excellent! Thanks
Welcome!
a super helpful video! Please make a video on hypothalamus and pituitary gland too, focusing on their functions and role with regulatory functions.
Thanks for watching Niharika! My next video is on the Endocrine System! I will be sure to touch on these two structures.
Good and detail explanation about amygdala
Awesome thanks
hey this videio really helped me in understanding how to do my school work on this specfic topic. it helped me understand how we actuslly think and realize how we respond to certain things in life, thank u very much!!!!
Thank you for the kind words :)
Thank you, that was really awesome presentation
Thank you for watching!
Thank you Professor😊
15:16 💕 ... 02/05 tue💫☺🙂💛🥰💘💝💖💚
This kinda explanation is what I was looking for....
Love the way you teach the Psych. The concepts kinda sticks in my neuron
😂😂😂
@PsychExplained I really did well in my exam. Thanks to you. Your voice was echoing in my mind. Just like Delusion of someone talking to me from you tube in code words and conveying me a message. I had auditory hallucinations which worked magic. I can safely say I was not psychotic though.
Gre@@humansofmedicine Great to hear!! This is the only 'good 'type of auditory hallucinations...
So helpful!! Cheers.
So glad!
Excellent explanation. Well-organized and didactic explanation. Fantastic.
Check your understanding: Stimulation of the amygdala causes intense emotion, such as
A. Empathy and compassion
B. Sadness and helplessness
C. Fear and aggression
D. Pleasure
fear and aggression
So the amygdala is not the center of pro social emotions such as empathy compassion an guilt ?
1 yr old and already totally wrong about everything
@@gratefulkm you talk to me ? if so i was asking a general question not related to the video itself
@@gratefulkm and what does it have to do with the age of the video since I just saw her
So I have just watched a ted talk about self doubt and unconsciousness and in that, the speaker briefly mentions the Amygdala, I had barely heard of this but it sounded interesting so I poorly spelled the word into a google search bar and came across this video and I would just like to say, despite having no understanding of the terminology and the brain on a scientific level, I understood all of this because of your presentation and explanations and this was a very enjoyable video that makes me want to learn so much more about the brain etc, so thank you.
Very kind words! Feel free to check out my other videos on the brain.
I JUST CAME ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL TODAY AND NOW I AM GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ONE AT A TIME. Just finished amugdala, took down notes too! I have been very weak at biopsych right from the start and I wish I had a teacher like you back then! Would have fallen in love with Biopsych. I AM PRACTICALLY IN LOVE RIGHT NOW. You explain the concepts so adorably and you make them simple, easy to understand. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AND WHATEVER IT WAS THAT LED ME TO FINDING YOUR CHANNEL. I know I am a bit too excited about this but I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN!!!!
Such kinds words! Thank you so much. I love biopsych as well. I am currently finishing up guided notes for all my videos :)
@@PsychExplained That's wonderful! I would love to keep a collection of those notes as well. Thank you so so much!
Really good explanation
So glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful video well explained
Thank you for watching!
Fascinating 😍😍
Awesome sir
My first vid of this channel. Outstanding this explanation. I ended up here after watching a coach slapping his judoka in the face before she got to the mat at the 2021 Olympic Games. So I asked myself: WTF did he do that for? Apparently this was a “defractionation” process of the “fight or flight” responses (trances) that the amygdala automatically provides to that Judoka. The coach basically interrupted that whole process and brought his pupil back to earth (‘the now’). Your vid is very detailed and still very clear even to me as a layman. Good job.
Thank you for the kind words. Keep learning!
I am studying about the Buddhist's Dhama and it is exactly the same with this scientific knowledge .. Awesome !!!
Do you have a link to the Buddhist information ?
Love your post ❤❤❤❤
Happy it helped
Sir, plz upload nervous system in detail, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system
You have no clue how much you helped me. This stuff right here, is pure gold! Keep up! Thank you 🫶🏻
Glad to hear it!
Finally got the concept of amygdala ✨
Great to hear! Are you trying to understand your own fears and strong emotions?
Very good 😊
Can you talk more about how our bodies response.and processing information speed will increased.that make us feel like time is stoped for us?
Great video!!
Thanks for the visit
I wish you had been my neuroanatomy teacher. I have always had a hard time with abstract information (maths, physics, anatomy) and i really need to visualize, make tangible links and create stories to understand. You do that so well!
Such kind words :)
Happy learning!
Love it thank yoy
Thank you :)😁
Very cool
very good
Your explanation is quite helpful very organized and simple, appreciated!
Great 👍
Dope!
Just imagine how many pages u have to read in a biology textbook just on the horomone mechanism itself
I always thought this was the emotional center of the brain, but I did not realize how new some of the research about positive emotions were. So is there actually an emotional center of the brain? Thanks for your videos again they are the only reason I am passing my class right now.
Thank you! When researchers talk about the "emotional center" of the brain they are usually referring to the entire LIMBIC SYSTEM. This includes the amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, etc.
This is really cool, which is why the amygdala is associated with anxiety, thanks doc
Thanks for watching! Some of us have an "overactive" amygdala (not your fault!) which makes it difficult to control our emotions/fears/anxieties. Because the amygdala is one of the oldest parts of the brain, it is often more powerful than the logical, rational side of our brain :(
@@PsychExplained that exactly what my doctor told me last week. My amygdala is way too reactive to the extent that I sometimes be laugh or busy doing something till the panic attack or my fear of death hits👍❤
There is lateralization of amygdala fuclnction.right amygdala only give negative emotions like aggression while left amygdala gives both positive and negative emotions
Great point
Make a video for hypothalamus soon
when the word "PERFECT" is a video this is what you get:
Too kind :)
Very good explanation! I was today years old when I learned that there are 2 amygdala's.
Today yrs old. BEST COMMENT
