Neural Connections [How Thoughts Work]

[@Spudcore]

When the two neurons join it looks like they are embracing each other, it's quite beautiful.

[@shyaaammeneen63]

Nice information. Nice video. Be careful what you feed your mind. Feed trash and trash will come out. Avoid comparing yourself with others, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming-outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 10-15 minutes or more. You can sit or lay down on the bed--eyes closed--No deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. Never meditate with expectations but with self-awareness. Make it a lifetime habit to observe your breath sensations day and night anywhere -anytime- before sleep, at work, when travelling etc Best wishes--Counsellor.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you

[@shazmirshahi4973]

this is phenomenal and truly educational and a true science visible to eye irrefutable proof that we are in control of self and outside the confines of destiny, an illusion that many believe I am entirely blessed to have found this and thankful beyond description thank you thank you and thank you again and again...more please!!!!:)

As someone who has OCD and has gone through some terrible month's where my symptoms flare up I can definitely say the power of the mind is amazing. Going one day normal to the next of having the most irrational fear then having to retrain the brain is extremely difficult but an amazing experience. Seeing a video like this just enforces what I was always told by my psychologist's the brain has the power to change. The diet/ training of the brain is the most important thing in the world.

[@chrisriley9182]

Good video! Had to make a small correction though: this is neuroplasticity not neurogenesis. Look at the definitions if you're unsure

[@bradsillasen1972]

In this case I wouldn't call that a small correction. The error impeaches the credibility of the production. I don't know otherwise, but as I understand it, synapses are not formed and retracted with each "thought" , whatever defines a thought anyway. Also, as I understand it, neural plasticity is the strengthening (Long Term Potentiation) and weakening (Long Term Depression) of existing synapses rather than creation of new ones. I'd love to read any corrections or relevant comments from qualified viewers. I'd especially like to know how neurons do form new synaptic connections with other neurons. I've seen lots of neurology vids but not yet answers to these questions.

Is these having any relations between cerebrospinal fluid and neural pathways? Sir

[@dineshdasdinesh]

Wonderful

[@erfananvari370]

are those synapses? or axons?

[@whizzerbrown1349]

Probably a synaptic and a dendritic branch linking From my understanding an axon is only the connecting branch between a soma and a synapse and don’t directly interact with other neurones, but again, could be completely wrong. I’m still relatively new to neuronal functions and boy are they wack

[@mftripz8445]

This might sound like a really stupid question but im hella curious, Is the brain’s size directly correspondent with intelligence? And can we actually run out of space in our brain to create new thoughts?(assuming life was not time constrained)

[@renaerye9]

No, size does not determine intelligence, within humans. I haven't seen actual proof, but I don't think you would ever run out of space to create new thoughts, because we don't have the capacity to hold 'too many' thoughts at once. That's why neurogenesis is so amazing. As we create new thoughts/pathways, others dissolve. If you want to know how to do this intentionally, visit @quantumfieldtrips on facebook. :)

[@ghzich017]

As far as I know intelligence is not determine with the size of your brain but rather how genetically it was wired, through physical and mental exercise both activities could creates more neuron in your brain and therefore increasing your 'intelligence'

[@laurenpinschannels]

The brain has 100 trillion synapses - you are the chorus of 100 trillion fragments of a person, singing the same song to each other. The song is your experiences as you run your eyes across your screen, or look away because I tried to guess, or something.Your vision neurons pass knowledge of the screen to each other nearby, keeping sync with the movement of your eye and passing the shape of the words into the shapes of their meaning's soul in your imagination. And 100 trillion synapses is a *lot*. way more than our brain would need to remember everything that ever happened to us - it probably does, at least a little. The tiniest thought you have slightly changes you, because each thought changes the patterns of your insights.

[@andrewbarrett1537]

I think that neuroscientists hypothesize/believe that neurons explore the surrounding ones to see if a connection seems favorable (pleasurable). If it does, a connection may be made; if it doesn’t, they may disconnect/retract and keep searching, unless you shift the focus of your thoughts / attention to something else. However I don’t know if that means the “non attention” thoughts neurons stop exploring for a while and others in other areas become active, or if it just means you are actively in control of the thoughts you are focusing on, whereas the others keep going but in an unconscious way?

[@_Hajar_]

Ok, but isn't it terrifying that neurons on a pitri dish are basically thinking???

[@andrewbarrett1537]

Well only if you find it terrifying that each person is a colony of about a trillion independent and interdependent organisms (cells) which all work together to make up one large organism (human). We have seen a few cells at a time here. There would need to be a good number more connections than shown here to form what might be called a single recognizable human thought. I daresay thousands of neurons would have to be linked to make up the various aspects of such a thought. So this is neural activity but I wouldn’t call it a thought by our standards, although it could still carry out a function. What is seen here might be a minor modification to an existing thought, like you misremembering a house you saw long ago as one shade of green but it is a different one; so some neurons involved in this memory might unhook and link instead to nearby ones. It is important to note that although neurons look like wires, and can function a bit like them, each neuron is in fact a living cell, although not “conscious” like we think of it (consciousness seems to be an emergent property of some higher order sufficiently intelligent animals).

[@andrewbarrett1537]

So although it might seem creepy to see tiny wires moving on their own and hooking and unhooking in these type videos and also animations, they are not actual wires in the dead or object sense like in a typical appliance or used to wire a house; these are microscopic wire-shaped organisms.

[@EBB22]

Well, let me debunk this because it's a pile of lies. Firstly, we don't know what happens at the cellular level when we have thoughts. That is to say, the claim "with every new significant thought, a new neuronal connection is formed" is unfounded. So, what does the video actually show? The video doesn't show neurogenesis of neurons but rather the creation of new neuronal connections, known as neuroplasticity. Furthermore, it's worth noting that this is by no means a brain scan while a subject is thinking because it's actually impossible to do so. What can be done while a person is thinking is a scan or tomography showing macroscopic neuronal functioning. But the video shown is of a cell culture outside the human brain (perhaps even from a rat or another animal), as it's impossible to see with a microscope inside the brain while a person is thinking. I understand the intention of the video, but don't try to convince from a cellular standpoint because the claims lack foundation and are completely false.
