    I'm 30 years old, psychiatrist in training in Hungary, before my final exam to become a specialist, and I saw this video as a part of "refreshing the old knowledge". This video is the best presentation I have ever seen on the topic of functional neuroanatomy. I wish I had teachers like this before, the last 5 years would have been so much easier. Thank you for your dedication and hard work, Sir!
  • I seriously LOVE this guy's teaching method (well, my brain does...) and I am so thankful for the accessible resources!!! ❀️🧠
  • As a retired health educator, this gentleman I must say is the best among the best I have experienced as an information presenter. Thank you Sir

    I am dealing with a stress reaction to grief and came across this channel because I am trying to find out why my body is reacting so intensely. Your videos have been so helpful. Our bodies are pretty amazing huh? That it does all this automatically is just unbelieveable. Thank you very much for uploading these videos.

    I always come back to this playlist. Before playing this I was confused as to how come I have not watched this video, only to realise that this is new. Your content is truly awesome:eyes-purple-crying::face-fuchsia-wide-eyes::hand-orange-covering-eyes:.

    Hi, I am an addictions counselor by trade and your videos allowed me to make some assumptions about my clinical teachings to addicts. I truly believe addiction is all involved in the limbic system, specifically the amygdala and its communication with the hippocampus. Perhaps because I employ cognitive therapy a great deal of the time in my practice. I used to draw a circle on the board and designate 'thoughts', 'emotions', and 'behaviors' in the circle. I then posed the question as to where on the diagram could one alter the outcome most effectively? My belief was in the area of 'thought'. If one could change the 'thoughts' about addiction, it would then trigger a cascading effect by changing the 'feelings' and the 'behavior' of addiction. It worked very well for my clients. Thanks for your very clear teachings on your channel.

    These are so incredible, Thankyou. My 9 year old had a golf ball sized tumour removed and these videos are really helping me understand what the tumour was doing/ how he could have turned out post surgery
  • I love your videos thank-you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, your probably the best teacher on the internet in and out explaining everything so so clear and easy to understand and remember.

    You're an excellent teacher sir. Far better than my college professors.. thank you so much for your guidance. I've watched all of your videos, so wonderfully explained. ❀

    Thank you for this wonderful video filled with information that I have always wondered about. Yet I never thought to look it up. I am SO VERY Grateful to have found this today πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ It sure helps explain a lot of things that I have been experiencing and Suffering through for the past 23 years of my life!πŸ˜©πŸ’” I had my entire right temporal lobe removed when I was 25 years old during my first of half a dozen brain surgeries to remove a brain tumor of which I still have a portion of. I had a very, very large tumor, β€œThe size of a large grapefruit” I was told. The tumor originated on my brain stem and spiraled up to my right, temporal lobe. The neurosurgeon said that once they got in there, they found that there was more tumor around/throughout my right temporal lobe than there was temporal lobe and so they had to remove my entire right temporal lobe! I sure do wish I would have known all of these things that you have talked about and explained because the doctors never once mentioned to me what my right temporal lobe was for or even even did and what would happen to me or what I should expect after they take it out. And trust me, it has been a real struggle πŸ˜©πŸ˜’πŸ’” but it does help to try and learn about the function of the brain and to know that I am not crazy and things are not my fault😒

    That was awesome ! The way he simplified the topic was great πŸ‘!! The CNS part of the physiology is so tough but this man (respectfully) made it so easy .!!
  • @theelonz
    all of my limbic components got soooo turned on by this lecture series, the amygdala is like I love this material as the hippocampus assimilate new words and then form association of knowledge via emotional response especially positive ones from learning.
