The lady is a really good science communicator, I think I saw her as a guest on a yt channel I subscribe to. She's talking about stuff in a relaxed way for some of the stuff. So far the guests have been top notch and would make great teachers.
How could people not like such informative presentation by the TA's? The TA were taking class where the Prof. Sopolsky is teaching. This is hugely humbling experience, therefore, they were feeling the weight of that class and trying to be more humble. How come students of Sopolsky forget the context and make comments. I think no one questions the content of the lectures of either of the presenters.

This is amazing. Free education if you care to know more than you did 30 minutes ago and are motivated to find it.
I learned a bit about the function of the brain way back when I took Psy201 & 202. These video lectures are a very welcome addition and expansion to that knowledge. Thanks.
You are a delightful presenter, I've smiled and giggled. Quite truthfully, I could not get up and talk to a crowd of people I don't know.
If someone told me that Patrick has purple shades on the desk, and is currently wearing flairs and rollerskates, I would believe them.
This guy, too has it down with the Sapolskyan humor "and you have to invite them to your wedding..." etc.
She's adorable and bubbly with an outward spark the guys didn't seem to have (or at least outwardly express as strongly). She's got a childlike fascination with what she's talking about, which is exactly why I'm sure she went far. And that makes my heart happy.
Yes, she was pretty cool as well. A bit nervous - which is entirely understandable. Talking in public is generally rated as the most scary thing - beating dying into second place. She needs a bit of experience to get used to it - but then I reckon that she'll be a good lecturer.

A little maddening that the speaker is looking up and gesturing to an illustration on the board that we cannot see! By the way, LTP, long term potentiation is a good example of evolution knowing how to reinforce important threats of death that an organism experiences, and emphasizing them in memory. Much to the disadvantage of sleeping patterns of war veterans who suffer with PTSD. Hence the veteran, for example, mentioning his experiences in the Battle of the Bulge sometime seeming as fresh, as if it happened yesterday, including the sights and smells. Even if 60 or more years ago
The way they present the information is seriously engaging and I need to learn more ✨
Where is Patrick now? I thought he was excellent!
I genuinely thought it was a video of a lecture that was recorded in the 70’s because even collar of his shirt is not dissimilar to the 70’s style and somehow he looks as if he is from that era !

The major weakness of all those Sapolsky videos is the refusal of the camera to rise upwards to focus on all pictures shown on the higher boards above the head of the presenter. Similarly, when the drawings happen to be on the board to the extreme right of the wall behind the presenter, the camera will not swivel to show that board. In all those cases we have to guess the details of the pictures, the projected images, or the drawings. The cameraman remains glued on the face of the presenter. A practice that truncates the full impact and appreciation of the lecture. "Tis a pity.
This is a wonderful lecture! The TA did a great job.

I liked the first part and, especially Nathan Woodling part better. Completely agree with sushicartman01 about the pictures, the presenter refers to. Not seeing the pictures makes it harder to understand the whole process

The camera is right, the problem was the video editor didn't add the slides for the first part.
I call it pattern thinking (autistic thinking which, taken to extreme, allows savantism) I can imagine for visual thinking autistics it would be a imagined visual world, but since I think in movement it's like all my memories are on a web and I can "feel" when one is pulling on another, it takes me longer to piece them together (mostly sorting out what's causal) but after calibrating with years of self-study of psychology I'm starting to predict where the gaps in my learning are and how to find them (one such prediction led me to find this course) and if I eventually cover all those gaps I genuinely believe I'd have an amazing ability to spot the gaps in the field as a whole and similarly predict where to look for the answers. Mostly just shouting this into the void, I can't afford uni either financially or energetically rn but since I know how to actually research and self-teach I'll be chugging along in the background figuring things out but gee, it'd be cool if I didn't have to grind myself into powder to prove my brain actually works like this before I'm given the chance to make use of it's potential.
I loved Dana Turkers presentation style, she was so engaging and charming and managed to hold the audiences attention so well. All the students presenting are very informative and interesting but i think she was my favorite, just holding the rooms attention and talking with so much passion :)
Respect I know I'm ten years behind but I respect Ur great work thank u and Robert sapolsky

So I looked up Patrick House (Pretty sure that was the first guys last name), looks like he's written a book called "19 ways of looking at consciousness". Haven't read it (got plenty of other things to read), but wanted to throw it out there.
Why does LTP not work another way in other parts of the brain and has to necessarily be connected to memory?
''Because of our tendency to explain what we dont know in terms of the smallest unit of a thing that we do know...'' :D
I think there is an important part of brain function which can be termed 'focus of attention'. The proposal is that this focus of attention operates in the brain by using the ability to focus the wave energy associated with certain neuron pathways to activate or amplify the activity of other specific areas of the neural network. So for example our focus of attention could be in visual inputs, audible inputs, movement, thought processes etc. The focus of attention then becomes the means by which specific aspects of consciousness are selected.

"Neurons that fire together wire together” are the words of Dr Carla Shatz (not the words of Donald Hebb as is commonly claimed).
I honestly dont understand these parts of intro to Neuroscience (only the very first part by Nathan). I'm just gonna wait for Dr Sapolsky to come back.
I have been teaching high school for 25 years and I often hear the absurd quip about - those that can't teach - blah blah, etc. It is clear that knowing does not qualify one to teach. But the only way to learn to teach is to do. So keep on teaching. I hope all three TA's watch themselves - they will learn a lot.

I felt she communicated clearly and comprehensively. I see your point that deeper more thoughtful people might be ejected but I would say this is more because of a digressive approach to learning and conveying information, which does not keep them fully within the boundaries of their subject, and or, a particularly libertarian mind which causes all kinds of transgressions accross the regulatory boundaries of the educational system. So conforming can be somewhat as important as being interesting?

so we don't for sure know where memory is? We just assume it is in the synopses?
I was always wondering why people in countries such as USA and other western countries getting motor diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer and Parkinson more than the Asians. Today I learned high stress levels can bring down dopamine levels and this can create motor diseases in long run and in the same time high levels of dopamine can cause schizophrenia(Using excessive levels of marijuana and other drugs). This shows us the importance of having a moderate life and the importance of the culture asians have practiced over the years.

cave: 12:42 Nitric Oxide (NO) is NOT the same as Nitrous Oxide (N2O). Nitric Oxide is one molecule of nitrogen, one of oxygen. Nitrous Oxide has 2 molecules of nitrogen, and one of oxygen. And that extra molecule of nitrogen changes the gas completely.
