I'm 30 years old, psychiatrist in training in Hungary, before my final exam to become a specialist, and I saw this video as a part of "refreshing the old knowledge". This video is the best presentation I have ever seen on the topic of functional neuroanatomy. I wish I had teachers like this before, the last 5 years would have been so much easier. Thank you for your dedication and hard work, Sir!

[@PsychExplained]

This is too kind! Appreciate the comment. Happy it helped refresh the old 🧠 I was in Hungary 🇭🇺 a few years ago. Beautiful 🌞

I seriously LOVE this guy's teaching method (well, my brain does...) and I am so thankful for the accessible resources!!! ❤️🧠

Wow, thank you!🙏🏻

[@erniematthews7497]

As a retired health educator, this gentleman I must say is the best among the best I have experienced as an information presenter. Thank you Sir

[@PsychExplained]

Such kind words! Happy learning 📚📚🧠🧠

I am dealing with a stress reaction to grief and came across this channel because I am trying to find out why my body is reacting so intensely. Your videos have been so helpful. Our bodies are pretty amazing huh? That it does all this automatically is just unbelieveable. Thank you very much for uploading these videos.

[@PsychExplained]

Thank for you sharing. I definitely believe the more we know about our own mind and body the better we can cope.

[@mcmoswane]

I always come back to this playlist. Before playing this I was confused as to how come I have not watched this video, only to realise that this is new. Your content is truly awesome.

[@amyneil7151]

Thank you for this wonderful video filled with information that I have always wondered about. Yet I never thought to look it up. I am SO VERY Grateful to have found this today 🙏🙏🙏 It sure helps explain a lot of things that I have been experiencing and Suffering through for the past 23 years of my life!😩💔 I had my entire right temporal lobe removed when I was 25 years old during my first of half a dozen brain surgeries to remove a brain tumor of which I still have a portion of. I had a very, very large tumor, “The size of a large grapefruit” I was told. The tumor originated on my brain stem and spiraled up to my right, temporal lobe. The neurosurgeon said that once they got in there, they found that there was more tumor around/throughout my right temporal lobe than there was temporal lobe and so they had to remove my entire right temporal lobe! I sure do wish I would have known all of these things that you have talked about and explained because the doctors never once mentioned to me what my right temporal lobe was for or even even did and what would happen to me or what I should expect after they take it out. And trust me, it has been a real struggle 😩😢💔 but it does help to try and learn about the function of the brain and to know that I am not crazy and things are not my fault😢

[@somdutta3536]

You're an excellent teacher sir. Far better than my college professors.. thank you so much for your guidance. I've watched all of your videos, so wonderfully explained. ❤

[@PsychExplained]

So nice of you 😄

[@mblabezza]

These are so incredible, Thankyou. My 9 year old had a golf ball sized tumour removed and these videos are really helping me understand what the tumour was doing/ how he could have turned out post surgery

[@theelonz]

all of my limbic components got soooo turned on by this lecture series, the amygdala is like I love this material as the hippocampus assimilate new words and then form association of knowledge via emotional response especially positive ones from learning.

thank you for the explanation of the limbic structure which plays a very important role in human life, education which helps humans overcome many problems, the answer is actually in our limbic system

Very precise..I dont know how deep one could go because the brain is so unique...but I would like to know HOW AND OR WHY the brain is affected by nervous tic disorder...or even Touretts..or OBSESEVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER ..MAYBE THEY ARE ALL 3 THE SAME ?..THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR FEEDBACK...!!! And I really appreciate the clarity an the way you explain things in a way and slow enough for my mind to grab..excellent. !!!

[@PsychExplained]

Nervous tic disorder, also known as chronic motor or vocal tic disorder, involves the presence of one or more involuntary, repetitive movements or sounds (tics) that occur intermittently over a period of at least one year. These tics may include eye blinking, facial grimacing, throat clearing, or vocalizations. Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by the presence of both motor and vocal tics that persist for at least one year. In addition to tics, individuals with Tourette syndrome may experience other associated symptoms, such as obsessive-compulsive behaviors, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or difficulties with impulse control. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) a mental health disorder characterized by the presence of obsessions (intrusive, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges) and/or compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed in response to obsessions) that cause significant distress or impairment in daily functioning.

Thank You!Great content !

[@PsychExplained]

You are welcome!

[@alexgilseg]

Great stuff! I have a question though, perhaps somebody can answer. Doesn't thalamus send signals to amygdala before it sends signals to the visual cortex when it interprets the signals from the retina as highly threatening? That's how I understood it from before, it was the only thing in this video that didn't make sense to me..

[@PsychExplained]

Yes!! I have a video on the Amygdala where I talk about this exact process. Take a look! I like the phrase “amygdala hijack”

[@alexgilseg]

Which specific structure within the limbic system is commonly associated with reward and addiction? A) Amygdala B) Hippocampus C) Nucleus accumbens D) Thalamus E) Prefrontal cortex

[@mcmoswane]

Nucleus Accumbens

[@songxheart]

Sir, i have a question Which of the following statements is/are correct about the concept of psychic energy within the framework of Freud's psychoanalytical approach? a. Psychic potential energy is limited and fixed throughout life. b.kinetic psychic energy can only be released when a desire is achieved through the the intervention of the ego. c. psychic potential energy can diminish over the course of a lifetime, if a desire is never achieved. The kinetic energy linked to this desire is then lost. Thank you for your response, it would be so great if you could explain it a bit too 🙏🏻 thank you in advance
