Speech is not always on the left side of the brain. My mother died of a brain tumor. She was, also, born left handed, but when she went to school they forced her to be right handed. When she had a FMRI they discovered her speech was on the right side. This is when I learned that she was born left handed, and that, commonly, which side of the brain has speech and handedness form together.

Social scientists already know some of the answers to intelligence. It also largely depends on starting conditions, where they grew up, the status of the family, family ideology, their local infrastructure and transit, etc. Like one of the greatest predictor of a poor child being able to obtain a college degree? Living near a rapid transit. For the general child getting a college degree? Living in the right family that has a tradition of intellectual pursuits, or even living in the right zip code in the US (no idea about other countries). The primary cause why many born Deaf people have poor education and poor perceived intelligence? Language deprivation, usually, or improper balance of their education focusing far too much on oralist approach or some other Manual English or other Manualized oral languages causing the rest of their education to suffer, as well having to suffer trauma the entire way through childhood.

I used to be able to recite movies/quotes verbatim after watching anything, but now it's pretty average. I also get migraines a few times a month, whereas I used to only get them 1-3 times a year. I got off pretty easy compared to others I've met, and especially considering how large the tumor was, right in the center (it was blocking the third ventricle, causing spinal fluid to build up). We didn't have time to do a biopsy because the pressure would have killed me in a week, tops, so the neurosurgeon was basically going in blind. Luckily, it ended up being gelatinous and was able to be suctioned, rather than a hard tumour, which would have required cutting and inevitably more damage. It was also partially cancerous (grade 2 & 3 cells), so I spent about 10yrs getting follow up MRIs, just to make sure it didn't come back. Pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation. Spent my 20th birthday in the hospital.

Growing a backup brain is an odd thing that might be impossible because we don't really know how consciousness works. Even if you grew a brain that was identical to your own brain would it still be you? Like if you remove your old brain and replaced it with the new identical one that person might have your memories and personality but you might not be aware of it, in other words the new brain is just another person in your body and not actually you. It would be hard to confirm this as if you ask this new person they would say it is you but that's only because they have your personality and memories.

@LoneWolf5841-3 жыл бұрын
@@aftersexhighfives malleable or not that doesn't really mean anything. You are you, you're conscious you can see out of your own eyes but not others, If someone successfully cloned your brain and implemented it inside you after you died there would be no way to tell if it is actually you or just someone who thinks they are you. You (the old you) may not see out of your eyes or even control the body just like you can't control other people's bodies or see out of their eyes technically the new you would be an entirely different person that just thinks they are you because they have your personality and memories. If somehow you (the old you) can see out of the eyes and control the body then that would suggest that consciousness isn't directly caused by the brain but is caused by something else, it would suggest that consciousness comes from an outside source (different dimension?) That's where the major problem comes from, there would be no way of knowing as like I said the new you will confirm that it's the old you but how do you know that it isn't simply because of them having your memories and personality. It's really hard to explain what I'm talking about as this is an extremely hypothetical concept the point being is our understanding of consciousness is quite limited, we both know and don't know, we know why we can see, feel, hear etc but not "why." What in our brains makes us aware, why isn't it all just black? Think about it if we need our brains to remember things then why do we remember? Like if when we die we cease to remember due to our brains no longer functioning then shouldn't life be similar to sleep? (Without dreams) Why are we aware?

"Surgically changing it could be the best way to heal it." Uhh...lying by omission? We're not going to talk about the major complications that can happen from split brain surgery, due to the cross communication of the brain? (Left controls right, right controls left) Or how brain surgery is MASSIVELY different from any other surgery because the brain is the only organ that doesn't regenerate/heal like the rest of your body? Or that ANY type of brain surgery is a roll of the dice? The rest of your body typically behaves in a predictable way during surgery i.e. when you clamp a blood vessel, it re-routes blood flow in a specific way, most specific surgeries have a known outcome etc. Neurosurgeons (even the best in the world) can give you an _idea_ of what _should_ happen, but there's absolutely no guarantee because the brain could refuse to re-route blood flow, healing/compensating for damage is completely random, and there's no way for a neurosurgeon or neurologist to 100% or even 80-90% give you a recovery prognosis until well after the surgery. It _can_ be the best way to heal it, BUT it can also be massively detrimental. I met sooo many people who had brain surgery after having mine, some for different tumours or causes for it along with 3 that had the same tumour and exact same surgery, and every single one of us healed differently. Not a single one of us had the same results. I was VERY lucky, because some of the people I spoke with had various types of paralysis (regardless of if it was complicated or minor surgery) one person with the same rare tumour (smaller than mine) ended up healing to only 70% of her pre-surgery functionality, and the list goes on.

It only superficially looks like a brain because folding like that was somehow advantageous to it. It is, like all corals, a colony organism, and each individual organism has very little brain to speak of... I highly doubt there's going to be much in the way of communication between colony individuals. Perhaps the folding aids in propagation: the folds maybe make it easier for sperm and egg to meet in the water, or something. Or, maybe the shape helps the coral survive wave-action: it's low and rounded, the wrinkles could break up water movement into little eddies, possibly causing less damage than a larger wave, who knows? A computer model could test that. Or there may be no real reason for it at all. You're trying to make completely different organisms function the same way you do when they evolved for a very different environment and purpose. Similarity in shape doesn't always translate to similarity of purpose.

microglia are a specialised neuromacrophage? Neuroimmunopathology and glymphatics, sound like an exciting combination of research

29:53> not that difficult - unimpeachable science says that mice need the same nutrients as humans as do all backboned creatures. if it good for the mouse - it is as well for the human. the mighty mouse & the somewhat mighty human are still the same. btw 90+1 are virtually the number of nutrients required if not literally, okay, the +1 is cholesterol, get as much as i can and i feel somewhat like the mighty mouse of the cartoon. keep the science coming and be the good hand. thank you SciShow Psych.

What is going on with the number of compilations you're doing lately?! I have been watching you for years, I have seen this stuff before. Since you've done your rebranding, something like 50% of your programming has been old data. I am a scientist, I want to see new science. I'm not asking you to stop doing them completely. This viewer is getting bored! If people want to see your old shows, they can go directly to your channel

I’m totally speculating, but maybe they’re preparing a bunch of new content (it’s certainly an appropriate time of year for that), and they don’t want to “go dark” in the meantime, since releasing fewer videos risks the wrath of the KZbin algorithm. They could also be trying to bring in new viewers, especially to the other SciShow channels, and/or to boost conversion of occasional viewers into channel subscribers. I’d imagine that compilations serve a similar purpose as network TV reruns used to when they were still a thing. I also wonder if the COVID of it all has something to do with it, like by slowing down production of new content or causing a drop-off in Patreon member support. But like I said, I’m speculating. 🤷🏽♂️

The video gave me so much doubt about what I knew, so I briefly considered that the tinkering I was doing in my own brain was ill-founded at best, or based on ill-founded research at worst. But then the guy mispronounced Alzheimer’s, and undermined all authority the video may have otherwise had. 🙃
