    I hope you're ok with me using this for some of my sessions in addiction counseling, it usually helps the parents and loved ones more to see a physiological and biological basis for the aberrant behavior they blame themselves for. So well done!

      It's sad that school forces students to memorise things to pass a test and forget everything after when you could actually learn and enjoy instead of being a stressful thing. What a joke, they talk about rewarding system but don't know how to use it effectively.

  • @kabirullahlutfy906
    @kabirullahlutfy906 4 года назад +9

    Great job with one minor modification which is that VTA is not sending dopamine to these other brain regions. VTA sends projections, axons, to these brain areas. Dopamine is synthesized, stored at these axon terminals, which are located in the nucleus accumbens, pfCTX, etc. When VTA is stimulated an action potential is generated which travels along the axon. Once reaches the axon terminal, it causes opening of voltage gated calcium channels. Entry of calcium inside the presynaptic terminal facilitates exocytosis and release of dopamine.

    I really didnt know serotonin levels go down when dopamine rises, i used to take prescription medicine to rise serotonin levels when i was a teen due to genetic reasons (guess i was born like that), and now im watching this cuz i think i damaged it all again due to cannabis addiction.
    like you said nothing's set in stone. thumbs up.

    • @xxaidanxxsniperz6404
      @xxaidanxxsniperz6404 5 лет назад

      Cannabis hits the anandamide receptors which do tie into the reward pathway but to a different degree. Its possible to be mentally addicted to it which can cause mental health issues to be exacerbated. Eat a lot of protein to increase tryptophan levels which directly increases serotonin. Take supplemental tryptophan as well. Other methods include exercise and microdosing with psychedelics. Both work to rebalance serotonin in different ways. Psychedelics help tremendously with depression, anxiety, and PTSD if done properly and with a good set and setting. Taking antidepressants and then getting off them creates an even worse depression for some and personally I stick to weed over that hell hole of drugs. I hope you got what you needed even though I am 9 months late I would like to offer advice in how I work through bouts of depression.

    No, Nucleo Accumbens does not control the motor functions it controls how pleasurable that experience was, so whether or not it's good, or all the euphoria you feel or happiness comes from there.

    Great video. Really useful for review after a few years. Just to check my understanding, isn't dopamine more associated with attribution of salience to stimuli, whilst happiness, euphoria, a pleasurable response etc. attributed to co-occuring release of endogenous opioids?

    What the rodent study also found was that these rats would prefer the heroin over water and be "addicted" only when they were in cold, lonely environments. When the study was reproduced with the rats in a comfortable, nurturing community of other rats, they no longer chose the heroin.

      @nickjohn2051 7 лет назад +3

      John Kempf Try L-Tyrosine first. It is precursor to L-Dopa which is precursor to dopamine. It much more safer than stimulant because it has "rate limiting step" which is how brain automatically limit how much dopamine is being produced. Trust me, you dont want excessive dopamine because excessive dopsmine is underlying cause of psychosis in schizophrenia.
      Stimulant on the other hand, force the production of dopamine of prevent the reuptake of dopamine in synaptic cleft. Drug like meth and amphetamine stimulate production of dopamine and at the same time, prevent reuptake of dopamine.

    Replication of the cocaine experiments in rats when the animals were in a stimulating, enriching environment did not duplicate the results of the studies that were famously done in the 80's. Current thought is leaning more and more towards environmental factors playing a huge role in addiction and not just the brains pleasure pathways.

    @neuroaholic1 3 года назад +1

    accumbens has two parts, core and shell. core encodes appetitive function (doing things to get reward) and shell is consummatory in function (signals getting reward). in my hands, these two regions are involved in value judgment and this applies to both rewarding and punishing stimuli.

    I appreciate what Khan Academy strives to accomplish, but it's unfortunate that there are so many errors or intentional oversimplification your videos. In this video, for example, the mesolimbic and mesocortical pathways are in combination being referred to as the mesolimbic pathway. Discrepancies in the information that learners come across can be a bit confusing 🙃.
