Also, the fact she is a neuroscientist really moved her to the head if the list for the casting directors. It's extremely helpful that she understood the basis of Big Bang.

@Long Wang She's not actually. Her kids are vaccinated. It's not as clear cut as all-in or full-anti. She's more in the "research each vaccine, why it's given and when, then decide based on the research", which makes sense to me, a hardcore pro-vaxxer. Some vaccines absolutely should be mandatory for everyone at a specific age or time (or health crisis), I can also see an argument for deciding as you go that based on certain evidence, or current events, it may be good to have it now or wait for specific circumstances that justify it, which may never come around. OTOH, Mayim has the scientific knowledge and literacy to stand a chance at doing it right (which doesn't mean she'll always get it right, she's a specialist of a specific branch of science which is NOT immunology). Most people don't have that.

@Long Wang Western medicine is a strange business full of racist spirometers, painkillers based on petroleum that ruin your liver and give you alzheimers and bad diet advice if you actually do the research- however, vaccines really aren’t “any” of those things an anti-vaxxer says they are, period. They are the best scientifically engineered means to immunize a population against a contagious agent- and you should definitely get one if your government or institution suggests you do. I’ve healed broken bones, botched laparoscopic surgeries and ciprofloxacin poisoning by pure metaphysical practice in myself - and had instances where I prayed for hospital patients and they spontaneously recovered. I believe you can also NOT need a vaccination. However, I still get them - and think they will make me healthy instead of ill - because I didn’t get ill as a bunch of people in my army platoon got pneumonia after getting a flu shot - solely on “reading psalms and thanking God for health.”

It seriously damaged my short term memory, but nothing else worked. I wasn't able to do therapy effectively because of it, I've taken every family of medication over the last fifteen years, it just destroyed my life. But the ECT cleared it out. It was like everything being colour after having been black and white in the Wizard of Oz. It meant I was able to engage with therapy and turn my life around. For the people ECT works for, it works a treat. But I've seen it destroy people completely, too, and that's a risk you take at each session. You've no idea how you'll come out at the end of each session. But I'd do it all over again.

It is first and foremost an autoimmune disease, but if someone in your direct family has it, you have an increased risk of developing Demyelinization (MS), but I would NEVER call it a genetic disease (even with the small risk) because there's a lot more of "nurture" than "nature" involved in its development. Basically, because of "something" or an "event" we don't know of, your blood-brain barrier becomes permeable and lets "unknown particles" inside the brain, which then triggers this sustained inflammatory response of your own immunity attacking motor neurons... What we DO know now is that "events" such as a blow to the head, a car crash, or having even really high fever, may put you at risk, which increases if someone in your immediate family has MS.

Dr Oliver Sacks has a lot of interesting information on this syndrome, as does Dr ramachandran. I highly recommend both of them for thorough discussions of the topic (and a vast array of other neuroscience topics). If I remember correctly, they noted that it may be caused by a stroke or brain injury that damages the way they incorporate memories/recognition of people and the correlating emotions. For example, when they see their mother, they expect to feel warmth and love. When the appropriate emotional impulses aren’t linked with the appearance of their mother, they feel as though something is off - that it can’t be their mother because they aren’t feeling the appropriate things they expect to feel upon seeing their mother. They don’t know that’s what’s happening - that their visual cortex isn’t linking up with their emotions properly - they just feel that something is wrong and assume it’s because that isn’t really their mother. They won’t have the same reaction to, say, the mailman, though, because there’s no expectation that they should feel love or tenderness for that person, whereas the lack of those emotions when seeing their mother feels jarring and frightening. Especially interesting is that if their mother calls them on the phone (while out of sight), they will usually feel as though they’re speaking to their actual mother and not an imposter because the disconnect is between the VISUAL cortex and their emotional centers (limbic system? For the life of me I can’t remember right now), so hearing her voice while she isn’t in view does not trigger the same feelings of their mother being an imposter as seeing her in person evokes.

This is the most knowledgeable Twitter answers ever; this is a fantastic video. As a mathematican I know a lot, but I've learned a lot about new field here.

You are amazing! I want to be Dr. Bialik when I grow up! (OK, too late. I am 57.) Next time around, though!

it's never too late! last year in high school i had an admin teacher who's 56, she's currently going for her 2nd year of neuroscience in uni, she also thought it would be too late especially since she has kids and works for multiple schools, but she took the challenge and went for it. you sure can do it! anyone can! stay safe

As a RN who was a neurological/neurosurgical nurse, I absolutely loved this and learned something cool. All my life I have had these weird random episodes where my head or my abdominal organs feel larger then the rest of me. I can articulate that now after you talked about Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Now I do not get migraines, but I do have fibromyalgia. Im not saying I have AIWS, but it was fun to read about in relation to my own experiences.

Give her a show about neuroscience, please and thank you. She makes information accessible without dumbing it down or sounding condescending. An actress/scientist combo=perfect teacher.
@lisamarron75902 жыл бұрын
that was so interesting! she got a lot of very specific questions and answered them so entertainingly - love her!
@kitkatxo3 жыл бұрын
Mayim, I loved hearing all your responses. I hope you will do these Q& A's (specifically neuroscience) on your youtube channel. Maybe it's strange but I find you not only very knowledgeable but comforting in a way that makes learning approachable with ease and it doesn't hurt that you can make any topic interesting. 🙂

What i got out of this is that in order to ignore the anxiety brought on by the crushing weight of living in a capitalistic society, I should play candy crush. Guess better late than never.

now i totally rethinking why I'm not in the field of science even since a child i always love all sort of science stuffs (until now). If not an accounting grad, I perhaps became an engineer or a psychologist, or even a neuroscientist like Mayim. yet, one thing i know for sure now....i really ❤️ Mayim as a person.😃More of this please!

The social media question was a great question and I loved the way she answered!! I believe this will help me with my son. I don't like him watching Dora or any other thinking show before bed so he can wind down. He has a hard time going to sleep. I have tried the "fishies" on youtube, (sleep music with slow swimming fish)just let him fall asleep in the dark with his lava lamp, and putting a regular movie on. I am still working with him to find what's best for him. Dr. Bialek's information really put what I was feeling into words with some insightful bonuses. This was amazing. I am really interested in neuroscience and she just makes me like it more. I would love to have her as a teacher!!
