How do injured brains help explain normal brains? One of the most powerful ways of learning about normal brain function is to examine what functions are lost when parts or areas of the brain are degraded or destroyed due to injury or disease. The subtle variations of different brain problems reveal the remarkable strands that make normal brain work so well.

Closer To Truth, hosted by Robert Lawrence Kuhn and directed by Peter Getzels, presents the world’s greatest thinkers exploring humanity’s deepest questions. Discover fundamental issues of existence. Engage new and diverse ways of thinking. Appreciate intense debates. Share your own opinions. Seek your own answers.
This is the best Closer To Truth video yet! Human cognition is the very core of all human understanding. Each individual's internal cognitive processes are what connect a person to the world around them, particularly the social world. Whenever we have a conversation with someone, or appreciate an insightful RUclips video, it is really just the unfathomably complex electrochemical machinery of our brains which is doing all the work. The continuous processes of incorporating new knowledge, experiencing feelings, expressing oneself, taking action, and creating memories, are all reflected in minute, short, medium, and long-term changes in the biology of our brains, and collectively they also form the fundamental structure and function of all human society. Understanding how our brains function at a fundamental level and how they respond to social interaction, environment, diet, and biochemical agents is essential if we as a species are to have any hope of a long-term future.
Hear hear! Well said!
That was an excellent video. 🖖
Fascinating
6:15 that's what I thought too, the neurotransmitter's level or sensitivity must have intensified that particular manic condition...
I would have fighting dreams and literally punch, kick and sometimes throw myself out off bed. I sustained hand and toe injuries because of it. So I worked on a no fighting mindset when I was in bed and it worked. I will still find myself typing in half-awake dream state but not being violent.
Findings like these are important and may offer critical insights but, unless we have the right explanatory framework in place, they're not likely to yield any real meaning. Because unless you first determine what the conscious self is, you cannot answer properly who or what exactly is getting affected.
The dualist framework of two entities, brain and immaterial conscious personality, makes, unlike materialist ideology, a clear dichotomy between "affecting" and the "affected" helping greatly in a proper interpretation of such findings.
Within such an interpretive framework, we may easily realize that what is happening in these cases is that the brain is exerting a tremendous influence on the transcendental mind. A great fact regarding reality may thus be uncovered:
_The parameters that affect the flow of signals through the neurons may, on change, cause disturbances, deviations and obstructions in the exercise of the powers of the conscious personality. In other words, the normal operation of the powers of the conscious personality would require / depend on some kind of sensory "fine tuning."_
This only would be the correct interpretation. "What is that entity that does this fine tuning " is the next logical question that we must seek to answer.
can the unintended side effects in brain be located and treated in some way as well?
badbrains have hidden advantages - not covered or considered in this video - overall good content - we are always learning something new about the most complex thing in the known universe and the best thing is we are starting to know how little we really know #ai hallucinatory artifacts #maths #badbrains case studies

0:32 REM disorder ...... with rapid eye movement sleep REM sleep there's typically inhibition of many of the motor system so you're paralyzed basically when you're in REM but in REM (even though your dreams are very active ) your brain is active and so forth but in REM behavior disorder that paralysis no longer is operative because cells that create that paralysis are degenerating so what happesns? 1:05 so what happens is the person when they go into REM sleep starts acting out their dreams so you see they will get out of bed they will thrash in bed their eyes may be open and they will literally be hallucinating or dreaming a set of dream interactions and they're typically aggressive interactions with REM so you the patient will be punching some invisible figure we there are cases well documented cases of patients literally jumping out a window trying to get away from somebody who's chasing them they're so convinced that the dream is real obbiously so what this particular brain disorder does is allow us to see REM action so you learn a great deal about REM from this particular and so 1:52 so you learn what the brain is doing in the normal case which is inhibiting the body from acting out those aggressive uh dreams taht we have 2:03 PM: right and note that 2:56 OELO syndrome: ... 5:29 what it teaches us it teaches us that there are some circuits that are very dedicated to a single function you know making sure that whoever you're investing your genes in doesn't cheat on you and the circuit is concerned with cognitions about that kind of behavior and then these ognitions get automatically produced when the circuit is activated and then they can become delusional 5:51 6:02 ... from evidence so I think it teaches us some very interesting things about how the brain mind works ( ... and also in terms of the relationship between evidence and belief in other words evidence and belief are not the same thing all the time because biology can affect the degree to which evidence affects belief here you have an example where evidence has no impact on belief belief because of some biological problem 6:27 PM uh it has some impact because all these patients search for evidence to but only accept evidence that support the belief stay on the sheet or this guy saw headlights in his driveway and he was utterly convinced it was the Lover's Headlights. 6:42 Biblical inerrancy is the belief that the Bible "is without error or fault in all its teaching";[1] or, at least, that "Scripture in the original manuscripts does not affirm anything that is contrary to fact".[2] Some equate inerrancy with biblical infallibility; others do not.
Enlightenment is knowledge

Mindfulness and wisdom through
the use of Kalama Sutta principles,
to analyze That information,

principle With writing a science
project, there is a set of questions,
A hypothesis, goals, what is
expected to be obtained,
problems and obstacles during
the experiment, prevention and
correction, whether the results
are satisfactory or not ), which is
the basis. of truth, and can be
proven by textbooks, scholars or
the owner of that knowledge,

to confirm those who don't believe
anything easily. It is different
from the word delusion, which is
the result of self-deception,

to The déjà vu event as they call it.
Are you arguing that you can explain emotional behaviour molecularly from a specific chemical formulation of dopamene inducing productants and reactants * , that consequently 'screws' a perception and reason focused methodology?
* What are the subatomic entities forming the matter and how do they establish atomic stability well enough for a diagnosis : assumming that complementation is insufficient?
Consciousness is as real as feelings we get which are sometimes false or illogical. Its just a feeling generated in our brain. It also relates to psychology. For example , relgious belief is as real as it is a feeling. Billions of humans are unable to snap out of it. This does not mean all the gods are real even if only one god is real.😅
0:24 Idk, Doc, but I'm thinking it's not so much that Nature experiments; rather, it's more that unhealthy results can, do, and must occur.
Go Bluejays!!
The best medicine is sleep. Tututututu. Like someone want to put something in my brain and i am thinking thats me but the person itself talking . Victim
The Brain’s shape determines a person’s self-awareness. Consciousness is reducible based on a million experiments/observations involving deteriorating brain diseases. Consciousness is not independent, nor is it fundamental. If it were then everyone would experience the same exact consciousness, regardless of a person’s brain shape and size - physical make up.
Your claim is baseless. Consciousness can be fundamental, and brains can just be external, noncausal representations of subjective experience, as Idealism postulates. Nothing necessitates that if consciousness is fundamental everyone would experience the same exact consciousness. But regardless, in a sense, we all percieve the same reality, just through a different conscious framework. And once again Idealism prevails, because if reality itself is consciousness, then it is objectively one thing, and all of our subjective interpretations of it can be different yet unified, all still arising from this one objective consciousness.
@@samhangsterIdealist philosophy can't be falsified so the great vast majority of scientists are physicalists, materialists, or naturalists. The physical Universe preceded by billions of years any forms of life, human life, consciousness. Consciousness did not precede the Universe, it took millions of years to develop and was an extremely random and rare event.
Soooo go write a test and document it for humanity. If you’re right you’ve just swung humanity forward. Go speak to a local professor at a local university.
@@samhangster baseless? 😂
Brains exist without consciousness, but you can’t have consciousness without a brain. That’s simple stuff.
I challenge you to prove consciousness is fundamental. -Go to the local morgue and ask a dead person with a dead brain to do basic math.
You said “Nothing necessitates that if consciousness is fundamental everyone would experience the same exact consciousness.”
Physics is fundamental and we all experience physics the same. Unless you can walk thru walls…👻
@@Mustachioed_Mollusk why would I need to document the obvious to a class? If you doubt me, go drink a bottle of vodka and take an IQ test.😜
Brains go bad?
Only as an arbitrary preference.
Our brain's r like televisions and smart phones our conscious not electromagnetic waves but something like it

Who’s delusional? I changed all of my habits of belief so that all my delusions and hallucinations went away.

Dreams are complex in brains system that neurosience doesnt know How figure out dreams inside brains. Psiquiatry shows dreams as heal emocions never figure out dreams proceendings. Guys links dreams with body is lack neurosience proceendings when was afected body. Guys show up dreams inst neurosience but only his opinion. Wortheless neurosience process.
Almost 2024 and still i read in the comments that some pray God our conciousness lives outside our brains, in some fantasmagoric and idealistic realm ! Obviously, this wonderful brain of ours has its limitations.

Paul McNamara follows an interesting tradition: Boston personalism. He has also a particular history on independent research, according to Wikipedia, using REM and schizophrenia as tools to describe religious experience, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_McNamara_(neuroscientist).
Paranoia that someone's spouse is cheating on them is pretty common. Just ask any lawyer, let alone any psychologist or psychiatrist. Silly reductionist explanations of human belief formation in terms of brain wiring and evolutionary psychology are quite vacuous.

My ex was out cheating but then he convinced himself I was the one cheating. But that’s a narcissist for ya. Always the one finger pointing out vs The three pointing back at the self.
When I heard “no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise” I thought of Trump supporters… but they are blissfully ignorant 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Or any cultists.....
I thought of the WOKE liberals. LOL
Imagine all the stuff kids see from on the TV, movies, computer, the news, how they're conformed in the concentration camps known as public schools, and going through life, experiencing pain and loss, having no direction or genuine relationship within themself and nature, nobody ever taught them anything about life, or the Sun stars & moon, and how easily we're all influenced, having never found the Spiritual compass within....all this, and the induced impulses that arise unconsciously and how they effect us unwittingly, never aware of it; thus forms bias, partiality, favoritisms.
Being paranoid isn't really a surprise when you understand what mankind impresses into their minds. Really, the only way to deal with it is to become desensitized, and that comes with great problems down the road.
^ couple all that and everything ^ with abuse and domestic, the world, the dark history and wars, sensual delectation, too, God being a joke today, there's no Soul or Spirit, everything is material(quantum), low self esteem, self neglect, the duality of the world, the contrast between Hollywood and the poor.
A wise man said: nothing in nature is vain.
It's never about what's wrong....it's 'what has happened' that lead up to the 'wrong'.

My mind can't get this novel idea. Science can't quantify personality.
Can science quantify the personality of an amoeba? I'd say science can. I'd say that at the very core of human personality that there's absolutely nothing more than the same dynamics that propel an amoeba.

Cultural jealousy, there'/s a lot of it i europe.
Also honor based Justice.
Speak for yourself, my brain is fine. …I survived rabies with the help of 50 inoculations, schizophrenia, a bump on the head, malaria with 105 degree fever, and a horrible educational system.
If you want to protect your good brain from going bad, have faith in a loving God... Without faith, your brain can be vulnerable to evil influence or demonic possession...
I think the main ingredient for a healthy brain to go bad is religion.

Vile...disgusting, you truly represent your beliefs.
Not true. I don’t believe in a loving God because reading the Bible he’s quite malevolent. I’m not out committing any crimes or torturing people. The prisons in the United States are full of Christians.
