What an ebullient and infectious smile. Wendy Suzuki is a joy to listen to. NYU is lucky to have her as a dean. Engaging conversation between two scientists. I am so grateful to scientists that share the latest studies and make them accessible and lively. Studies can get a bit too technical, and challenge (in a good way) my liberal arts leaning brain.

[@micahanderson8218]

Things we remember: 1. Novelty 2. Repetition 3. Association 4. Emotional Resonance

[@bradapotamus]

Bottom up, I disagree with emotional 'resonance'. I'd say it's more of a deep amygdyllic emotional 'impression'(?) that associatively bonds a 'stress' network. Associative understanding is the inherent quality of the mind, it parallel computes. Every thought is processed associatively. Repetition is usually a survival response to the environment. However when in a personally(PFC) controlled environment, you can call it 'self-discipline '. (No talk of metacognition or awareness is intended in this specific argument). Novelty, is a unique characteristic. The normal animal wants homeostasis, not novelty. Novelty is the primary mechanism for biological neurogenesis, as new experiences create new neural pathways in the associative network of the mind. Throw free will, self discipline, and self-(and greater social)awareness onto that bad boy and you have yourself a human being.

[@Timmsy]

​@bradapotamus yes thank you for clarifying.

[@BoloBouncer]

Dr. Huberman, I've been watching your podcast for around 7 months now and have implemented many of the tools and suggestions discussed in each episode. I cannot describe in-depth here the positive lasting changes wrought in my life during that time, from simple things like losing 30 pounds to more nuanced effects like greater depth of clarity and purpose from focused living and less indiscriminate context switching. And while I cannot ascribe all those changes solely to this podcast, its regularity in my routine and consistent quality of actionable material has done much to lift that psychological "karmic" weight that has burdened me for so long. While I know this is a science-based podcast, it would be disingenuous to say the fundamental changes people make in brain chemistry don't touch what is deeply essential to us all. Whether you call that meaning, soul, spirit, or anything else, just know that your work is renovating the lives of people you may never meet in places you may never see. When Confucius was asked if we could know the affairs of people 100 ages from now, he said that it is possible if we can clearly see what is happening now. And your work directly affects that clarity of vision which allows us to open up to the future and not dwell so heavily on what's been done and can't be changed. I'm no saint or monk or pure soul and never will be. But I feel now the value of being a little better each day and that's a feeling I've been missing my whole life. All the best to you and yours. Thanks for the help.

[@_negentropy_]

Many, many, many thanks to Dr. Suzuki for sharing her scholarly wisdom with us. Her wonder and curiosity for memory research is palpable and contagious. This was such a treat. Also, “intensati” sounds like a band of vigilante poets and I can’t wait to be their disciple. Re: human adult hippocampal neurogenesis: I was indoctrinated into the “definitely yes” camp during grad school, but have since developed a healthy agnosticism toward the debate. I’d love for it to be true, so if anyone out there is familiar with the studies Dr. Suzuki referenced that shows there is indeed hippocampal neurogenesis well into our 9th decade of life, I’d be hugely grateful if you could reply with a principal investigator or partial title. My search results have been unsuccessful. The study listed in the show notes predates these studies. To toss a vat of kerosene onto this fiery debate, a recent study published in Nature provided some pretty compelling evidence that suggests there is no human adult hippocampal neurogenesis (Wiseman, 2022).

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you for sharing the information! I’m almost finished with Sukuki’s new book “Good Anxiety.” A-maz-ing!! I knew there is an upside of everything including anxiety and she explained so well as a scientist. Thank you, Dr Suzuki. I often think of a silver lining whenever a tragedy happens, big and small. I deal with social anxiety from a massive stroke when I was 18 years old due my heart defect. I was completely paralyzed on my right side of my body and speech was completely gone because of my aphasia, both Broca and Wernicke, and I had double vision for about a month because my brain was swelling, so I had to wear a patch for a month (like a pirate!). Now, my right side is about 95% recovered, but I sometimes have trouble speaking normally. I have recovered most of it, but I have a cognitive linguistics issue which I’m working on it. My friend said it like I’m from France without an accent because the way I speak (and I’m accepting as a compliment!). Sometimes when I speak, I shake a little bit in my voice, especially in a group setting. At least I’m speaking though, right?😉 But seriously, I’m grateful that I can speak ok now, I have been living with aphasia for 23+ years, and have inner peace with it. Dr. Andrew Huberman, you explain so well to the public so that we can understand how and why some behavior works, so thank you so much!!! I’m wondering can you give us a podcast explaining aphasia, how it works in the brain, how to overcome that and what are the causes of having aphasia from a neuroscientist perspective? I’m experiencing it everyday, but I’m curious in scientific thinking. When I heard that Bruce Willis was diagnosed with aphasia, I’m wondering why he has it. It seems like he is getting worse, but mine is getting better everyday, and he didn’t seem he have a major brain injury like a stroke or car accident? What are other ways of getting aphasia? Since the stroke happened, I have been so curious and fascinated with the brain, and again thank you so much for sharing a wealth of knowledge about the brain! I LOVE to learn and sometimes I re-watch your podcasts to fully understand your information of the brain! Thank you, thank you, thank you ☺️ (Sorry for the long message :P)

Thank you very much for providing us with zero cost yet much valuable science based knowledge. Honestly, I can’t thank you enough. I particularly enjoy the science part. As a scientist myself, I always suspect things; especially any advice on “self-help”, “living healthy, wealthy, happy life” as self proclaimed “guru”s are known to exploit people. I suspect those advices even to detrimental point to myself. For instance, I knew that exercise is good for me, and I should sleep but somehow never bought it. But knowing the chemicals, anatomies of brain, pathways is helping me to really understand and visualize it. That really made me realize my bad habits and pushing myself out of couch to exercise mat. Thank you very much.

It seems like it would be the most powerful to put all the areas together, moving eyes, nature, sunshine, in hot or cold temperatures, cardiovascular, positive self talk, focusing on a new skill, and an ocean dunk.

Dear Professor Huberman, during my post-podcast-workout I remembered that you often use the word “beautiful“ to describe certain things ... “a beautiful practice“, “a beautiful study“, “a beautiful experiment“. Having a background in art and design I now wonder: When is a scientific study a beautiful one? Is there actually beauty to find or does this simply mean “of high quality“ in the context of your podcasts ... If there is beauty in science, is there also ugly science? Is there a science of beauty? Are there specific visual aspects of seeing something as “beautiful“ (symmetry, patterns, ornaments) or is our understanding of beauty simply a matter of culture or education or is it part of our human nature? Thank you very much for your beautiful topics and conversations!

Very funny. A long time ago as an engineer I took an arts class taught by a renowned math prof and a renowned English prof. We studied English and math topics off the normal radar. On essay was from a biologist. An arts student criticized it an being boring and uninteresting compared to poetry. When I asked if she liked French, Russian or Spanish poetry she said no because she didn’t understand it. I replied that biology or math or physics was also a language and if you didn’t speak it you would not understand it (or think it beautiful). That’s the beauty of the Hubernian podcast. The underlying science followed by mechanisms and protocols that makes it beautiful. If you can’t speak the language you can’t find it beautiful

@@patcusack6252 Well said.

[@daedra40]

A brilliant and important question!

[@korbinianniener3697]

@@patcusack6252 Very good point! Sure, I have to learn a “language“ to be able to understand its deeper meanings, humor, irony, its rules and mechanisms ... or to get a certain “inside joke“. And yet I think that beauty might work on a more basic level ... e. g. somebody might not speak the language of music or poetry or even a foreign language but still might experience it as very beautiful.

[@Ruudwardt]

@@korbinianniener3697 Basic desires and senses probably work more or less the same for most. It won't work with complex things in life. Advanced sciences take practice and 'tuning in' the same way as musician or audiophile can hear more of the music, especially complex one, than average untrained person. Even 'beauty' in pure sexual desire has levels. Everyone can remember their take in their teens on the sex they are attracted to vs in their 30's, life gets more sophisticated the more one digs in.

I am amazed by how, for the first two minutes, he didn't blink even for once and that actually kept me engaged in what he was saying about dr. Suzuki.

You both are beautiful people. Thank you for sharing your minds and passions.

Having transcripts or summaries of these talks would be great 👍. Thank you dear professor Huberman, I'm absolutely in love with your communication style.

I can see a transcript link under the time stamps, but I subscribe to KZbin premium so I’m not sure if that’s available for non subscribers.

You and Wendy...great mojo. Thank you for hosting her. I have read her book and love the fact that her work, while academically wow, is personal. She speaks from a 'boots on the ground" perspective, which resonates with me given my decades of GAD. No ivory tower there: relatable and helpful.

What a lovely lady. A pleasure listening to and learning from her!

Great idea! With Matthieu Ricard.

[@menchiebuan5611]

thank you Dr. Andrew. It's a wonderful thing to know that God gave us incredible brain and body. We only need to do our part by moving, exercising meditation and thus we may have an enjoyable life even in our old age. Praise be to God ✨

Although I convinced myself to not watch/listen to your new podcasts until I finish the old ones, I had to break the rule this time :), your podcasts are actually extremely great and beneficial!

Wendy Suzuki's very being and presence speaks for itself! SHE is the message! I am a believer! I would like to know more about scent and memory and context.

[@Richardthemonkey45]

Mr. Huberman, could you do an episode on how to study efficiently for students? Also thank you for all the helpful protocols that have helped my brain and body function in a way that has a sense of flow and ease to it!

[@Nenfish]

Exercise is a self imposed stress that reinforces memory at the same time it is hard to remember things when stressed out. Helpful and motivating. Thanks for your virtual presence.

[@c0rvidae]

This was a great interview to watch in bed after waking! I was inspired for the first time in a long time to exercise. I have some powerful mental blocks so any headway, however small, helps.

[@janetmarmaro8269]

Need to put another comment: Thank you for this wonderful conversation! Dr. Suzuki is such a brilliant person! Also, it matched very well to have the talk in bright environment - it underlined Dr. Wendy's lightness ;) I will listen to specific parta of this episode again and again within the next day or two. Thank you, Andrew

[@kiraablamunits958]

Thanks a lot for yet another fascinating episode! Could you possibly do one on fatigue? I know sleep has been discussed at length, but what is going on if one sleeps fine, but is still tired? How can morning slumps be explained? What about afternoon slumps (not caused by large meals)? What does science say about CFS, and when does one know one's fatigue is 'serious' (I mean, everyone seems to be too tired these days)?

[@niksbit84]

As someone who's going through life transformation right now, I find your podcast very helpful in shaping the life I want to live going forward. The science behind helps me believe what I am doing is working and the belief itself helps to keep going. Thank you for sharing such a great information and providing realistic ways to live better life at no cost!

Great podcast, I love her work and particularly how she seeks to understand the minimum efforts people can make to make a difference- achievable targets - that's how you get people to make positive change
