Really good talk. I think our education systems should know this. It"s unnatural that our children have to sit on a chair at school. They should be exploring and moving and doing lots of things

[@tristandrew5903]

It's just difficult to sustain. What happens when you put a gold star on a childs work for doing it? They keep doing it. Stop giving the star and the child stops the work because the incentive has gone. The external reward system needs to assist and not be depended on by the internal automated nervous system (duration, pathway, outcome)

I try to go for a walk every day and I find it a really good habit. The action itself doesn't have a very distinctive reward, but for me the benefit is just the fact that I get to see the nature, possibly other humans and experience something else besides the things that keep me in a loop. I also listen to my favourite songs while walking and just let my mind wander and observe life. Afterwards I usually feel more relaxed and it seems like I've found yet another way of looking at my existence. Sometimes while having a walk I might also feel like I can breathe for the first time that day.

It makes me so happy to see more people talking about brain health and how important it is for our mental health! BDNF released during exercise is like miracle-gro for our brain known to have 3 main benefits: stimulation of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, strengthening existing neurons and repairing damaged neurons.

[@RoseGarlandWidell]

My birth family has a rich history of depression, and I'm not exempt. On meds, I still get depression, but it's not as severe. Without meds, my depression can become so dark and deep that life doesn't seem worth living. I have struggled with this every year of my life, at least since puberty, and I'm middle-aged now. I wish I could go off meds - I don't know what they have done to my brain in the last 25 years. But the fact that I can still have depression, even with meds, makes it clear to me that they're still needed. That being said, I do a LOT of repetitive things with my hands that give me great joy. I also have a million plants that I take care of. I draw, paint, make scarves, and so much more - I'm just super creative. But when you're depressed, it's a struggle just to get up out of bed, much less do that stuff. I wish someone would study people like me, whose genetics are so depression dominant.

I know how to beat depression. Face it, deal with it, and then put it behind you. When I was ' taking a pill' I was numbed. Sometimes I would not be able to get a new prescription for lack of cash and the problems I had whilst not taking them would come straight back to the surface and I would have to deal with it. Since, I discovered by having to deal with it, that once I did, I could beat it down and throw it out. And then move on with my life. So I searched deep within myself and worked my way through all the problems I had,dealt with them and now feel victorious over my enemy of depression. Neuroplasticity is simply the rewiring of the brain pathways and training yourself to think differently. Once the thought is 'set', twist those wire's together and then move on with the next.

[@christineelder922]

Dr. Lambert, thanks for your great advice on the benefits of both exercise and hobbies in reducing our stress. I’ve faced a lot of depression in my life and I’ve been lucky to find successful ways to fight it off including a regular practice of daily hiking and weekly horseback riding. These activities have literally saved my life more than once! I also work to increase my beneficial serotonin and dopamine levels to reduce my stress hormones like cortisol through a regular practice of drawing and painting in a sketchbook during my hikes in nature. Great presentation, Dr. Lambert. Thanks again.

LOVE! As a Psychology major studying Behaviorism, the implications of the science from the more objective end of behavior proves your point hand over fist. It is in the doing that we make our greatest learning leaps. But it's not just about memory. It's SO much more. Just observationally, one can see just how powerful the act of doing something generally is on building skill, speed, accuracy, general applicability, memory, and reflex. It's FASCINATING! I'd love to pursue a PhD in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience to gain the resources to dig further, but I think that's a little far out of my reach right now. Until then, I'm happy to nerd out on rats in cars. So fun! Thank you, Dr. Lambert for your contributions to the science of behavior and neuroscience in general.

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to learn and adapt. Until relatively recently, experts believed that our brains were fixed by the end of adolescence and that, in terms of neurons, it was all downhill from there. But the latest research has proved the opposite: that our brains can actually grow and change throughout adulthood. That is, if we treat our neural pathways right. “The main point of neuroplasticity is that you can actually form and reorganize connections in your brain,” says

[@nathanboklage4707]

So true I’ve learned so much from this KZbinr Andrew Huberman and one way to counter the lower rates of neuroplascity in adulthood is with intense focus on learning , studying and experiences. That’s the best way to rewire our brain after 25

Everything you do - Everything you encounter - Everything you experience - ------- is changing your brain --------

[@GoCanucks2011]

The brain possesses plasticity, but it is not plastic. Rather, plasticity refers to the brain's malleability, which is defined as being "easily influenced, trained, or controlled." Neuro refers to neurons, the nerve cells that are the building blocks of the brain and nervous system. Thus, neuroplasticity allows nerve cells to change or adjust. Neuroplasticity (also known as brain plasticity) is the brain's ability to change and adapt as a result of experience.

It is about the success rate and how people perceive success, people nowadays increasingly find repetitive work to be boring and more intellectual stimulation drive the brain dopamine, of course repetitive work has a significantly higher successful rate compare to ever changing work course and targets, but if they cherish failure in challenging work/ study, they can find a incomparable joy form the success after multiple trials compare to the 'sure-win' situation in repetitive work course, even will find the later insignificant to be brought up as a success. Indeed repetitive work or chores does have a balancing benefit in our daily life, but consider the neuroplasticity that helps us to be capable of more complicated task, a enriched environment makes a huge impact as to how we think and learn, which is much more human-friendly as to the standard, repetitive work/ life style.

This issue I have with this is it suggests it is just as simple as doing more. Diagnosed depression is not as easy to fix as going outside more and taking up knitting. Not only does it add to the harmful narrative that people are depressed because they're lazy, it's not as simple as that. I've been struggling with depression for a long time now. The antidepressants I'm on make no difference. When this period of depression hit, I was going out on long walks in the countryside, regularly out for two hours every day. In my free time I engage in hobbies including drawing, playing guitar, occasional knitting, clay modelling, needle felting, sewing. Any hobby I can do where I get to produce something at the end and see the result of my hard work, that's perfect for me. Yet I still struggle with depression and if anything it's getting worse. While this is a perspective often overlooked at this level, I do feel like it trivialising things a bit. For the general population nature and interactive hobbies help mental health significantly, but for those with more serious depression, it really isn't the magic solution in a bottle this video makes it out to be

[@lonniebolwerk8164]

Just watched a Ted talk on brain scans with regard to brain damage and depression. Made me think of someone I know who eats well, does woodwork, long walks, on medication but still can’t beat the crushing struggle of depression.

[@lunareclipse-rd3gy]

I think change in routine is what causes neuroplasticity, maybe you can try also putting a significant portion of your energy into making a business or something where your focus would build to a more longterm benefit and something which would would stimulate your mind to wrestle with ideas outside of the time you actually put into it

[@orvilleraposo7760]

Depression :Cure: Talk to someone who understands before it spirals and becomes... A small event of life when we keep repeating it in the mind instead of just moving on and taking it in your stride is the genesis of depression. Inability to find someone to unload our burdens when something bothers us causes us to brood about our problem. A social life is the best antidote to depressive tendencies. Anybody can get depressed. We weren't supposed to handle it alone but with a confidante. It's about life. Depression happens when we find ourselves unable to handle the problems of life. Dr. Karl Menninger said, whenever you feel depressed just walk across the street and find someone you can help We are social beings who will only thrive when we are touched by another human being. We are made for love.

This is interesting. While listening, I was petting my dog. I was feeling her ears, and they way she moved her head. I was noting the texture of her fur under my fingers. I was noticing the pressure as she moved beneath my hands. I was cooing at her, and she was responding vocally. I notice her smell from time to time. Of course, almost any dog is a walkaholic, which brings in a whole set of kinesthetic and sensory stimulations. Maybe the stimulation is part of the reason pets are good for humans?

[@fionablack1227]

You mention Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease in your talk and I wonder what studies would show about neuroplasticity and depression applying what you’ve learned so far. I have MS and as someone with mild disability I am still able to engage with social interaction, exercise and gardening. However, my capacity is often curtailed by fatigue and ‘cog fog’ What I suspect is that I’m maintaining a good level of physical and mental functioning because I am able to live according to the criteria you have identified. However, I am not aware of making any improvements. What would be valuable to know is whether those of us with brain damage are able to remain stable or actually see improvements by following your protocol. This also applies to ageing of course.

[@garfeld625]

Her argument has a lot of merit, don't get me wrong. But it does ignore a lot of the terrible aspects of society that also lead to depression. As such her argument comes off as, just do better and you'll be happy which isn't the case for everyone. Not everyone can just work harder or needs more work, that is a privilege. Let's work hard to fight depression by reforming society's problems alongside ourselves :)

[@Blossom-ne4bk]

Agreed! 👌

[@JeyFox]

I very much agree with this comment. From one hand, I am happy to hear a neuroscientist taking a stance on the role of the brain, as an organ, in developing depression, since I find there is still a lot to be uncovered in that regards. Yet, at the same time, I am sceptical about the practicality of putting the theory into practice. Let’s talk about physical activities, for example. Some people (perfectly healthy ones even) simply do not find them rewarding enough. Even if they do, such activities usually require certain levels of energy which people with depression often lack. As someone who’s been living with PDD for 20+ years, trust me when I say that, on certain days, getting out of bed is enough “exercising” for me. :-) Creative hobbies, while can make some people happier, could easily make things much worse for folks suffering from a Bipolar disorder or those with a tendency for self-loathing/self-criticality. One tiny, simple mistake can be blown out of proportion to the point it re-enforces the notion of one’s “worthlessness”. Sure, great art was often created by depressed people, but let’s not forget that many of those great artists, musicians, filmmakers, etc., committed suicide in the end. Depression is not about being lazy. It’s not about choosing to stop physical or social activities, or choosing to "be sad". It’s about enormous, significant lack of energy due to uncomprehensive mental and emotional pain. "Try harder" is just as useful advice for a depressed person as for someone suffering a heart attack.

However, much of depression has been developed over the course of the last 50yrs. As one who has lived for quite a few decades I can honestly say that as a younger version of myself in a bygone era we didn’t see much of people with clinical depression. Sure there was some but even suicidal tendencies were the exception not the rule. They just didn’t happen all that much. As much as modern day adherents disavow religion, there was a general goodwill towards your fellow man. Putting others before yourself. A sowing and reaping expression so people sowed towards the positive a bit more. Younger individuals were taught self respect through self restraint, a right and wrong value. Wrong values didn’t bring a reward. Right values did. Working and doing the right thing actually did bring about better lives and living conditions for a lot of people. I’m wouldn’t dismiss it lightly.

Welcome to science. Only journalists will tell you what a study definitely "proves". Generally, in order to conduct a study, you need to make some assumptions. Then you perform an experiment in which you try to control as much as you can, but you can never control everything. Then you get results, which are limited in scope and open to interpretation. At each one of those steps, you introduce one or more maybes, coulds, probablys, or mights.

Depression may have indeed many causes. If a person entertains himself only with TV , video games or social media, it can cause depression, because the brain understand that there are no any achievements happen (we need always progress on something because of evolution) and also the easy source of pleasure and its high intensity (comparable with junk food) bring less enjoyment from the rest of the thing in the life. In this case the destruction from the screen, walks, Hobbys can really help. People see that they progress, create something new or physically active release pleasure hormones, people feel better. Doing something active or with our helps develop that parts of our brain responsible for movements and may prevent the Parkinson's disease, for example. But it should not be the only solution.
