For anyone enjoying these lectures in 2019 and forward, Sapolsky's new book Behave covers pretty much the same territory as this lecture series with ever-so-slightly different organization. For audio learners, though the audio book is not narrated by Sapolsky himself, he has chosen a dynamic reader who conveys the material clearly and entertainingly. If nothing else, the book is an excellent companion piece that reinforces the material he covers here.

These lectures have given me so much context for my own neuroses and validation for my own struggles; they have changed how I think about myself. I originally came here for the emergence lecture and decided to watch the whole series out of curiosity, and now I'm here with a completely different understanding of things, and a vastly richer world to live in. Dr. Sapolsky has got to be one of the best lecturers I have ever seen, spinning together an intricate web of philosophy and science that reminds me why I love learning, and that there will always be more to love and appreciate and discover in the world. I cannot appreciate this series enough

I have now watched all of these lectures and I think they've changed my life, or at least how I think about things. Late last year, I started reading Ed Wilson's work on sociobiology and human nature, THEN I found out about Sapolsky, read Behave, then found these lectures. I'm in awe of his skill at lecturing- I stay in rapt attention to everything he says. This is my favorite lecture, by far. At about minute 50 when he calls a break because he's obviously about to lose it, emotionally, I gained even more respect for the man. He clearly cares deeply about how our justice system treats those of us who are neurophysiologically broken, and that means a lot to me because it's something that I care about. Very glad these lectures are available. I'm a biochemistry major minoring in psych (in my 30s , haha). I want to study behavioral pharmacology in grad school, but these lectures have been making me think about changing my plans. Thanks again, Stanford, for making these available.

In the Middle East they call these types of lectures about the brain and mental illnesses "Blasphemy".....look up Dr. Wafa Sultan who was a Syrian Psychiatrist born in Syria who tried to get treatments for their acute forensic mentally ill and violent but was called a "Blasphemous" person and hunted to be killed in Syria by the leaders there. They wanted to kill her because they knew she would tell the world that Middle East refuses to purchase Antipsychotic medications (the only treatments which work for the mentally ill and psychotic/manic) because the Middle East leaders don't want the Phamaceudical companies whom are owned by the USA to profit from this. So instead they allow their mentally ill to suffer inside their illnesses or ship them all to the USA and Canada for treatments. One injection of Antipsychotic medication for ONE person is $3000 a month. Now add this up for the entire world.....USA cannot pay for the whole world to get mental health treatments. Middle East need to stop allowing their violent to take over and treat them instead so people can live in peace.

These lectures are one of the only causal factors to connect "what someone says" to "my life experiences." This is the type of conversation style I strive to learn.

He's just amazing at pumping us all up with all this attention and dopamine and all the sort. I hope he creates a guide on this one day.

So well, I was taking notes of the lecture, very focused and my sister threw a matchbox at me. First I was scared but then I felt anger. Now I tried this on my sister, I yelled her name and she just flinched and looked up at me in confusion. (She was listening to music) Second time when I yelled at her she was making food.( This time she got angry). So my observation is that when you are focused( activated foetal cortex) and someone disturbs you, you immediately get angry(amygdala activates) because you loose the focus (deactivation of frontal cortex). And the other emotions like fear or anxiety can lead to anger because now your amygdala is activated.

The relationship between the pre-frontal cortex and amygdala described around 1:06:00 (in which each one tries to inhibit the other) reminds me of Plato's allegory of the soul in "Faedrus". According to the myth, the soul is described as a chariot consisting of three parts: a black horse (representing desires), a white horse (representing emotions) and a charioteer (representing reason). The charioteer (logic/reason -> "pre frontal cortex") tries to "inhibit' the horses (impulses / emotions -> "amygdala"), and of course the horses try to resist! It seems to me that Plato described in over-simplified terms how human nature works. Today we can examine human tendencies in scientific terms, but nevertheless the model is pretty similar.

The key diagram, which is the central focus of this whole important lecture, is the one on the right-hand side blackboard. It remains out of the camera angle for nearly all the 1h 45' of the lecture. Finally, the camera operator deigns to take in the full diagram at 53:12. This is the key illustration of the critical connections at work between the limbic system and the frontal cortex, with activation of various dopamine pathways. This cameraman consents to let the diagram shine in its full glory for 2 seconds from 53:15 to 53:17, to abandon it entirely at 53:20, never to be seen again. Nothing more frustrating for a dedicated student of this whole course on Behavioral Neurobiology, offered on KZbin by Stanford Un., who is following the series of the 25 (or 27) lectures. Viewing that diagram early on, as soon as it becomes the center of the discussion, would have been essential to any viewer. After all, our Incredibly Learned Professor has lavished all his attention on his self-made sketch to make it nearly self-explanatory. Whatever drawings are on the boards are so critical for viewers who are not in the classroom to allow them to fully follow Prof. Sapolsky's rapid-fire presentations. Note that this neglect persists throughout the whole series of the lectures. This is the irritating weakness of all those videos. If the explanation is correct that this operator is a film student at the university who's given a chance for developing camera skills, it is tempting to believe that this student is under 25, with a frontal cortex not yet fully mature, and has not yet completely understood the dynamics of teaching and those of viewing videos of those lectures. For this operator, the interest is not in the intellectual teaching process of our Incredibly Learned Professor, but in following his photogenic personality at the center, finding satisfaction only in focusing on his beard, pony tail, and moving arms. Even when our Incredibly Learned Professor, in his Aristotelian ambulatory style, rushes from the left towards the right to point with his left arm to the famous diagram, the camera, obstinately stays focused on Prof. Sapolsky's fascinating figure, barely condescending to include some portion of the arm pointing towards the diagram, but never switching to a full take of the sketch, that we got only for a few fleeting seconds, way towards the end. What a pity.

No female criminal behaviour due to frontal cortex damage mentioned. Supposedly the cases are there but they don't seem to be common. Is this one of the 'if, then' cases? If female, then... criminal behaviour is unlikely? Anyone know?

Love the lecture, thanks. That’s not what facile means, the correct word for that would be “facility.” Facile means something too easy, simplistic, or lazy. Facility means they can do it very easily
