What is an addiction?

Have you already done a video on sleep paralysis and strange conditions?? Cool vid btw.

Never mind my one this would be a cool vid I think

Gah, you beat me

SciGeoHistory Now I won't forget it either 😂

I couldn't remember the passive part. So I could remember 50% or it.:)

I had forgotten it until he mentioned it. He annoyed my subconscious enough with that taunt... 6 or 7 seconds later I had it. xP

Didn't forget what?

It's *oblivescence U didn't remembered it properly 😂

That mouse was killed after the scientists were done cutting its skull open.

Thought I was listening to Colbert in a different voice when I saw this comment😂

. _"No cartoon mouse was hurt in the production of this animation"_

purely psychosomatic

That mouse met leviathan! And survived! lol

This is a great way to explain it!

Thanks. Though, I just explained it in the same way my favorite Tv show growing up did.

Neuroscientists have an expression: "Neurons that fire together wire together." Same principle. Through repeated use of the same neurons in the same sequence, whatever action was performed (whether it be recalling a memory, signing your name, parallel parking, or using a drug), it's like wearing down a path in a field gradually over time through repeatedly walking the same way. The connection between those particular neurons strengthens, making it much easier to repeat that action in the future. Much like a field becomes easier to walk through when there's a clearing in the grass. Our brains love to find ways of becoming more efficient. So when you repeat the same action over and over again, you brain figures, "This must be important! I will need to know how to do this again in the future!" The neural pathway strengthens, and the action can eventually become habitual. This is part of why addiction involves the hippocampus. Ever noticed that very negative people seem to be habitually unhappy and can't seem to learn to stop complaining? Part of this is because the negative thought patterns have become hard-wired into their brain. It's also because being chronically stressed out results in lots of cortisol exposure, including to memory-forming cells in the hippocampus, which die after long-term exposure to cortisol. This is perhaps a defense mechanism our brains have developed to prevent us from remembering traumatic events, but when a person has unhealthy habits of negative thinking, it tends to backfire, because the cortisol kills hippocampal cells, which causes them to not remember, which results in even more stress over not being able to remember or develop new positive/healthy habits and continued negativity, which results in more cortisol, which results in more cell death, and it continues in a snowball effect until eventually the person becomes stuck in their ways. I wonder if "can't teach an old dog new tricks" has anything to do with the hippocampus degrading over time.

The way that seems to work for me is to repeat alot of times (3-4 minutes maybe) and then focus on something else while repeating a few times every few minutes

But which part of the brain remembers it is a already used Neuron right?

It is a curse. I have too good a memory.

i bet my college professors and faculties does not remember me. not any single one of 'em. 😂

What happened to all of the other replies? There can have only been 2 over the course of 5 years. Both of which have been made in this year

they didnt comment duh lol@@hazel121921

She probably wrote it down somewhere to remember it

we regret them because we remember them and their intensity. if we can forget them, it doesn't matter if we do them again or not. Because other people don't remember my embarrassing moments in school just like i don't remember theirs. when a student gets yelled at, he keeps remembering it but if i see him getting yelled at i will be paying attention for a moment but i will forget the intensity of that moment an hour later

@@rocketmanfossel1174 ok? That doesn't change or add to what he said, what they meant is that, as they say "history is set to repeat itself", that saying is about people not studying history as they should, and repeating the mistakes of their predecessors, that's why history exists, to learn what the people of the past have made and improve on it, and to avoid their mistakes, the same way goes with memory, everything we do is what shapes us, and that's because as he said in the video, forgetting isn't losing a memory, it's the memoys become less frequent, and fading slowly, usually never completely fading, but connecting to other memories, and if we forget what we regret, we don't learn from it, that's why most stuff that we regret don't fade like most stuff we encounter everyday, because these stuff are linked to most stuff we do later in. Since we are actively trying to avoid doing it again

there are benifits of losing, you get to learn your mistakes

I remember the dumbest sh too. Sometimes I wonder if other ppl do. Its ok, bc I remember too tho..

Nice. I have a few that I would like to forget!

You may be able to access some memories via smells. The smell of freshly baked bread, a cooked cake, mown grass or a cup of coffee might bring back some memories for you. A newly opened tin of paint, an oily rag, might do the same. And some sounds e.g. an old fashioned sewing machine or a gramophone record. A visit to a museum might trigger some memories. Sitting on a verandah or making a bed with freshly washed sheets might be evocative. And some old songs also.

Everywhere At The End Of Time

I only remember stuff from when I was 10 years old, before that I can't remember anything. But I really don't care, there's nothing important in my past, no reason to remember it.

When I was babysitting recently, I tried to remember the nursery rhymes my mother sang to me as a child. It brought back some very old memories and a nostalgic feeling that almost brought a tear to my eye. It was unexpected. I also have a fear forgetting and loss of mental functions in general. I hope we have breakthroughs in medicine to help with it.

try writing diary! I have been writing diary since I was in middle school. Everytime I read my diaries, my past self tells my present self what happened on her day! I have been suprised by my past self many times

But to be fair, abuse is the kind of thing that anyone would remember, whether or not you have a superior memory like your friend. You may forget a random bullying incident that you went through but the big stuff sticks. I do feel really bad for your friend though. All those memories must have really messed her up.

@@hittingyouoverthehead I remember things. Idk how it is for others going through trauma but I remember. I mean,, i know.. i know what the drs say about some. I am not those some. I remember details too. Idfk whats wrong w/ me but I guess im flighty. Im trying to be clever w/ my brilliant psychological words. Idk how I ended up such a well rounded person either 🥴. Survive or don't. Someone had to care about me. And it sure as hell wasn't others. Well, others couldve. It just a shameful thing. So, I just moved on. . I raised myself w/ out ever having a real clue about life. I didn't even know how to pay bills through the mail, bank accounts, nada. But in my defense my younger yrs were back when. And yeah. So, I raised myself

@@hittingyouoverthehead I understand what you're saying, but the scenario for people with Hyperthymesia is worse. Nobody forgets trauma, but those people remember it in vivid detail. From the info I have gathered, they can see it like a video being replayed to them, covering every second. It's really a curse

Dunno, i have a very good intuition / imagination in a way that i can daydream hyper realistically. I don't know if that's normal, but sometimes i'll see complex scenarios like multiple growing crystals, water with its dozens of reflections and shadows or microscopic textures that are built like a randomized maze while there're several or even moving light sources and then i can rotate those things and see where and how shadows might change. Yeah and it's definitely a daydream thingy, because it's clearly imposssible to simultaniously see a generic tree several from feet away and feel their specific bark texture on my tongue.

Well, was she leading teams or sending teams? Story sounds sketchy to me.

I was thinking the same, the amount of hardwork on that. wonder who did it

Just a question, what does kabarunahannamitsuchi mean?

Emotional value can be categorised into explicit memory - things you consciously think about. These are episodic and declarative (important emotional experiences) and usefulness is a biological function to keep us living, which is implicit or unconsciously thought about memory, such as semantic (facts and info) and procedural (how to do things). There are many sub genres into why we keep memories. To forget a memory is also to stop practicing it, stop re-consolidating. You sound like you've done a psych degree!

slimkt just let it go life will be better trust me

Same

+slimkt Same here

Bing Bong yes i am actually thx for noticing :p

Recurring negative thoughts, mainly when they exaggerate the actual past experience - i.e. it was not a big deal but in our minds we keep blaming ourselves for that - is one of the symptoms of Social Anxiety Disorder. I did not know why I had these thoughts until someone diagnosed me with it. From that day on, every time I had a negative memory I just thought "eh, it's just part of my disease" and the thoughts started to vanish. Worked for me.

Hopefully you've benefited from the treatment. I've known 2 people who have had it done. One was my aunt and she improved only marginally. The second was a man whose life was completely changed for the best. He was so grateful to his doctor!

wholeNwon ECT really helped me. I had such bad depression that I wasn’t responding to medication or therapy. ECT was the only thing that worked.

it sounds scary. i wouldn't say i have severe depression, more like extreme dissatisfaction lol. i wouldn't think getting shocked would help enough where the benefits outweigh the risks or even consequences

@@williamgustavk2184 I kinda agree with almost everything you said except when you said big bang is just a theory. A scientific theory is not a guess. That's what a hypothesis is. In science a theory is an idea backed by evidence or other proven ideas or even mathematical laws. Oh and BTW a law is nothing like a theory. A theory is actually worth much more than a law. A law is just a thing that happens. Usually laws come as mathematical laws which are used to calculate something and sometimes they come as a true thing that's always the case like conservation of energy or entropy. So big bang won't become a law since a law is nothing like a theory and has nothing to do with the big bang. And big bang has evidence by the way so big bang is true.

Chribit Easier ways to do it, learn the method of loci

Comic Sans method of loci?

Comic Sans I'm interested as well haha

Chribit google it or read the book moon walking with Einstein

You just need to manually do what your brain does: try to recall it as many times as possible to strengthen the connections, and keep recalling those memories all the time... Also called studying.

I was abused and I don't know if I blocked out any memories but it does seem like things are missing. Or it could be that my memory is just kind of random. Of course all the stress and anxiety I've experienced has probably affected my ability to form memories. TBIs and that small complication during birth may have had an effect as well. I don't even know if I want to remember but I still think about it every now and then. Why does one torture one's self with things one cannot change?

Why is that a joke

Tyrese Okeke depends on the type of memories, I only know one and it's for personal memories: hyperthymesia

ApolloAwe okay good to know, thanks!

There is no such thing as photographic memory. It is a myth.

binky2819 but what about that guy who can draw things he remembers even if it is he first time he has seen it he can draw it just from memory?

Tyrese Okeke it's not actual. He's drawing from his memory which could be nothing like a photograph. His imagination will fill in all the gaps.

The brain uses CANNABINOID receptors (Cannabis) to erase 98% of useless memory. YES the brain has it own "POT" factory to make "FORGETTING Chemicals". This is why POT kills SHORT TERM memory and why you should NOT smoke POT when in school or college OR YOU WILL FORGET most of it.
