Mind Over Molecules: The Biology of Memory

I'm currently watching this from deep within the African Congo me and my team are on a much needed five day rest back at base camp we have been studying some of the last known gorillas on the planet stay safe guys 👍

In a world where we are constantly stimulated to move on to the "next thing" (whatever that may be), this interview shows us how this interferes with our ability to learn, which is intrinsically linked to the ability to form lasting memories. We really need to slow down.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST PODCASTS I''VE EVER SEEN,THANK YOU!!👍👍👍👍

This is great! Finally I am able to watch WSF discussion live in Youtube, big fan here of Prof. Brian Greene...from UAE..

This was amazing. For me, these conversations on how our brain works are the most fascinating.

Loved the questions. Ive had random recalls of things i havent thought of in decades. Especially when music is involved. As if the memory is sitting somewhere perfectly intact, and only needs a key to unlock. Very interesting subject

i just want the algorithm to auto like any video by WSF

It was wonderful. Thank you Brian Green.

Thanks Brian and the team. ❤❤

For Brian: In search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust is a classic novel on memory

Very good questions. Because nervecells forms a net, which has limited capasity to change, the hormone system helps. But the nature of memory seems to be complex and unclear. It is more dynamic than structural fenomena. Both are needed. The attention to the Freudian unconsiousness was splendid.

One of the best discussions ! Cristiana Alberini thank you for your contribution to science 👌 ONLY ONE COMMENT: The fake applause (audio) used during Editing does not bring any extra value to the discussion.

Lots of useful information!

In my opinion, the memory may be created by most critical things as: Pay attention. Trying. Love to trying. However, any condition may able to change those things in my opinion, like aging condition… A football fan and a soccer fan always are talking and have a good understanding about their own favorite sport.

Love your content! ❤

1:00 I'm so happy... I'm finally watching one of these live...lol

I already forgot the beginning of this conversation. 😅 The most important thing about memories is that they can change. For example, you can experience something traumatic, and in the short-term remember it in a way that causes trauma - bad thoughts and negative emotions - but then later you can heal that experience and remember it in a completely different way. Now your memory can create acceptance & forgiveness, and a heightened self-awareness, wisdom and higher emotions. Ultimately, the past is just a memory. It doesn't exist anymore. And so, we can learn how to transform the past into something positive, even if initially it was negative.

Facinating

Concerning the conference on memory by the scientist Cristina, I would have loved to hear her address the types of foods that helps motivate a healthy brain and healthy thinking. Much of the information given by her, I already read on my psychology books and in molecular biology processes. Maybe Prof. Brian could interview neurologists studying nutrition to enhance the memory and thinking experience. Nutrition that promotes the neurofactors, neurotransmitters production to strengthen the memory pathways on adults and seniors.
