Issues in Neuroscience: Are we our brains



Uploaded by: nervousneuron
Video Description:
Are we really our brains? I certainly have an opinion on it! I first start talking about my understanding of the brain from the past, and a bit about how I see it now. Will that change? What are our minds? Our souls? Can they really be boiled down to the firing of neurons? What is Biological basis VS biological marker of illness? Can various behaviours be localized to specific brain structures? How can disease states help us understand normal behaviour? What impact does the complexity of the brain have on our understanding of it? What is science for? Why do we care about the function of the brain? What are some of the ethical issues involved with treating brain illnesses? What has neuroplasticity got to do with anything? Who is right, western or eastern medicine? Does talk therapy change our brains? Does watching a youtube video change our brains? Are psychotrophic drugs helpful or dangerous?
Don't feel obligated to watch this video. It's long, and I barely talk about anything, it seems like to me, because there is so much to talk about. COMING SOON: Neurodiversity - Is that diagnosis a mental illness needing treatment or just a variation in our thinking and behaviour.

well that sure ... ( 1 year ago by midguardz)
well that sure clears things up. Since I have adrenal exhaustion from constant fighting with my family its no wonder Ive developed add & noradrenaline problems. Also I also had a theory that the suppressed ADHDs become the dreamy ADDs like myself because their natural free expression has been labelled as odd & then suppressed by parents & others as socially imperfect. Thus we become stunted & dream to dissociate from parental triggers. Yes /no?
The brain cells ... ( 1 year ago by dimphil)
The brain cells respond BEFORE the thought is present to move the arm for example. In other words scientists do not understand mind let alone brain. The brain is the hardware the soul is the software in the machine.

IMO the cause of chemical imbalance is confluence of several different things; infection, allergy, stress, leaky gut might combine to shrink the brain faster. The latter has replaced chemical imbalance as the cause of these types of diseases & it might be right but only the end result of other causes. You are on the right track in my unqualified opinion.

Hey there, nice talk! Just wanted to add that:
- you touched upon it but I think its worth to be stressed: talk therapy in fact CAN change the brain's chemical (im)balance. So talk therapy is not necessarily an alternative pipe dream after all and, as you said, the software might affect the hardware.

- When you talk about neuroplasticity and language I feel should add that this touches upon the nature vs. nurture-discussion that has been going on in the field of linguistics for quite some decades now.

Just to mention a case you might have heard of over there: when in 2006 an 18 year old Austrian girl managed to escape after 8 years of captivity during which she had no physical contact with the outside world (accept from her captor), people soon recognized her astoundingly elaborated use of the German language, which came about because during captivity she had used to listen to radio broadcasts of cultural content.

Linguists first had expected another "Kaspar Hauser" in this case, so this was quite a bit of surprise...
Anyway, to cut a long sentence short (don't wanna talk another 36 minutes of your prrrrreeeeecccccciiiooouss [sorry, couldn't help that one ;-)] time.

Are we our brains? Personally, I think that we are. We probably won't know for sure though until we try to build a copy of someone's brain and see if it is still them (which I suppose we will never know for certain--but if it looks like a duck, and feels like a duck, and quacks like a duck, well...)

Am 3/4 through your video, really enjoying it so far. Congratulations on your depth of knowledge acquired so far. I'm a big fan of Dan Dennett's view on consciousness - I think you might be too. Definitions of disorders interest me also, I believe 'schizophrenia' was classified quite a while ago - these shifting definitions are published in some large reference journal and are basically a checklist of observable behaviours. Going from that, to a specific psychoactive drug is kind of scary.

I don't really understand what you're saying. You saying I should not be interested in neuroscience because it makes you start drugs?

This individual is experiencing something called hyperthought. Hyperthought can be brought on endogenous or threw pyschoactive substances. I personally beleive many young scientists and creative artists are exhibiting various degrees of hyperthought.

(Nerd alert) "Opinion based on faith with a little bit of evidence here and there" is the best one can get in answer to the question about identity of mind and brain. That physical causes can affect mental events is equally consistent with a materialist and dualist/functionalist account of mind. Empirical evidence cannot resolve the question. Therefore, the question is metaphysical rather than scientific.

Nervousneuron, You appear to be a high functioning bipolar (you mentioned your depression). Your knowlege of brain physiology combined with your own experience and that of your mother's can give you a depth of understanding other researchers won't ever have. Good luck as you pursue your field of study.
