You’ve probably noticed this video is a little different from the usual stuff I do. Please tell me if you like this more/less and I will happily oblige :)
True auditory hallucinations are the most common in Schizophrenia. When scientists examined the auditory cortex; they found it to be generally “thinner” in Schizophrenic individuals. It’s believed that those who are born blind have particularly strong auditory cortices (through compensation) that can help protect against these auditory hallucinations too!
@@NeuroEverything This is astounding research! Thanks for this information. And yeah,do more obscure topics that people might not know about. Tiny Medicine does this as well and it's worth watching.
My brother had paranoid Schizophrenia before he died and i think this is a really interesting theory. He needed glasses and the prescription for the right lens and the left were really different.
There is some evidence pointing to a higher incidence of Schizophrenia among deaf people; though this may be for a similar reason to why losing your sight later in life increases your risk of Schizophrenia academic.oup.com/jdsde/article/11/3/303/2530056
Let me drop this Nash Style With the following 5 words this man is a genius! The brain is essentially a "prediction machine" that is constantly busy comparing new inputs from the environment with predictions generated by internal models of the brain. This is the only way the human brain is able to adapt to ever-changing situations and grasp new environments. Now, if blind, visual perception no longer occurs.

It is only acoustic stimuli that have been supplied for the comparative models to be created for blind people in their internal Memory.

I first wrote my comment now I see the video and say thank you for spreading this knowledge that I believe has helped me a lot. It has been around for years but has not yet found its way into the minds of those who could use it, at least not enough. Is my attempt to explain at least somewhat understandable?
I was diagnosed with a personality disorder with schizotypal traits. I also find it difficult to process/filter sounds, smells, and such. At home I sometimes wear earprotectors. I noticed something funny. I'm quite literary walking on my toes so that I don't bother my downstairs neighbour. But with the earprotectors i'm less scared/anxious to disturb my neighbour. Even though i know that i'm not making less sound. How would you explain that? Does this implicate something? If so, what exactly? Thanks.
So actually people who are born blind to compensate by strengthening their auditory cortex; which appears to be thinner in people with Schizophrenia - so I guess that’s one more “protection” and it really depends on what way you look at it
You must not read much, and you are the epitome of why I don’t listen to someone with an md tell me about anything but clinical topics. It’s been my experience mds in general are really, really bad at science, scientific design, and statistics. They are, however, very confident in their lack of problems in all of these areas.

I liked it,but I've read that most of the hallucinations are auditory,not visual.

that’s crazy that its so common i had no idea
Any literature or studies on the incidence of schizophrenia in deaf people? That would be an interesting related idea

Hey! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thank you YES I couldn’t have explained it better myself :)
I was diagnosed with a personality disorder with schizotypal traits. I also find it difficult to process/filter sounds, smells, and such. At home I sometimes wear earprotectors. I noticed something funny. I'm quite literary walking on my toes so that I don't bother my downstairs neighbour. But with the earprotectors i'm less scared/anxious to disturb my neighbour.

Thanks.
But why blindness? What about people who are born deaf? Why should the Visuel System be more important?
So actually people who are born blind to compensate by strengthening their auditory cortex; which appears to be thinner in people with Schizophrenia - so I guess that’s one more “protection” and it really depends on what way you look at it
i mean, not a doctor but sight is kinda our main sense
2:45 no pun intended
All the effects
