OK......I finally found you! While you were listening to your ol' brain tape.....you ran me over.....next time, just pay attention to where your 'ol truck is going!!

Sorry.....you have no room for this addition......

Given the following information about the thumb and how he mentions ages, it's probably the latter.

Evolution.

It is both. The brain stem starts to develop first in a fetus.

I have had the same problem too

@@katieweiss8492 me too. Vey annoying so I probably wont show it. It is a significant lag.

If I understand correctly, we had this specific part of the brain but hadn't evolved enough yet 300million yrs ago to use it...... But i could be wrong?

Yes, definitely YOU are at fault......but after you fork over big bucks for the brain course, you will cease nitpicking about such trivial errors........you may now applaud me!

CC gives you automatic transcript. Not sure if it can be downloaded but makes transcription easier. Also, I'd like to see translations. Would help with Spanish.

Hey.....fix your own lags.....do I have to do everything for you?

first step in solving any issue is identifying the root cause. Anger, according to Dr. Siegel, is created in the limbic system. By reflecting on why you feel angry (what's the proximal causes, are these proximal causes reasonable or were they instantiated in childhood) you will begin to be able to rewire (integrate) your brain. You will still have an active limbic system, but hopefully instead of blindly feeling anger, you may be able to identify the microactions (and neural circuitry caused by child development) beforehand that will give you some leverage in combatting your issue.

@@aaroneich1 how does the model help you to this?

@@savvysilvia5075 my guess is when you begin to have an emotion that is undesirable or debilitating, you can do deep breathing exercises, or some other practice of putting the emotion in check so it doesn't just run it's course, unbeknownst to you, causing you to "flip your lid".... So by slowing down, recognizing the emotion/ situation is a tough one, you stop right there, take long deep breaths, talk to a trusted someone or whatever else is in your toolbox to get the scenario into perspective, before it runs through your entire brain process causing you to "flip your lid", leaving you angry, frustrated, exhausted, unreasonable & possibly sitting behind bars... ?? I'm just giving my interpretation, I may be completely wrong?

@@cristipuckett8719 thank you 😊

@@cristipuckett8719 Beautifully stated.

Me too. Just little remark to her explanation. Prefrontal cortex is where the 4 fingernails are positioned when we close our hand in the fist.

Me too :)

Don't be so picky.....it fell off the model.....because the glue didn't hold!

Strong drink is the drink of the devil......now, go cut your grass and scrub your kitchen floor!

smart aleck!

That is precisely true.....his doctorate is in.....basket weaving 101.......bye...

I'm with you, Andrew. This is dark ages neuroscience.

You are using the wrong definition of theory. Theory as defined in science is the best explanation that science has to offer based on cumulative research that is solid and repeated, etc. Theories are extremely strong in science.

@@terrischmitt1980 It's surprising that even in 2023, there are people who are still beating on this "it's just a theory" drum. I thought the misconceptions surrounding this word in the context of science had already been addressed repeatedly in our school systems. Atomic theory, gravitational theory, music theory...are atoms, gravity, and music now just pure conjecture lol? And yet, here we still are with the "it's just a theory, so it's not worth much" argument. One person above is misquoting the dictionary - well here's what Encyclopedia Brittanica says about it: "In attempting to explain objects and events, the scientist employs (1) careful observation or experiments, (2) reports of regularities, and (3) *systematic explanatory schemes (theories)*. The statements of regularities, if accurate, may be taken as empirical laws expressing continuing relationships among the objects or characteristics observed. Thus, when empirical laws are able to satisfy curiosity by uncovering an orderliness in the behaviour of objects or events, the scientist may advance a systematic scheme, *or scientific theory*, to provide an accepted explanation of why these laws obtain."

@@milesbuckley1731OP is questioning the background of evolutionary theory specifically in this understanding of the brain, not the process of how scientific theories are constructed.

Gravity is a theory. Not many people dispute that this is also a fact based on the theory. You need to study what theories in science mean. It is evidence based research that holds up among the majority of scientists until more research may change that theory. You can test theories yourself. Gravity is an easy one to test but there may be research that disproves or changes this theory some day.

hahaha

Got bad news! your present brain is not very happy over this rude intrusion!
