For anyone enjoying these lectures in 2019 and forward, Sapolsky's new book Behave covers pretty much the same territory as this lecture series with ever-so-slightly different organization. For audio learners, though the audio book is not narrated by Sapolsky himself, he has chosen a dynamic reader who conveys the material clearly and entertainingly. If nothing else, the book is an excellent companion piece that reinforces the material he covers here.

This professor makes learning science a lot of fun.

I have now watched all of these lectures and I think they've changed my life, or at least how I think about things. Late last year, I started reading Ed Wilson's work on sociobiology and human nature, THEN I found out about Sapolsky, read Behave, then found these lectures. I'm in awe of his skill at lecturing- I stay in rapt attention to everything he says. This is my favorite lecture, by far. At about minute 50 when he calls a break because he's obviously about to lose it, emotionally, I gained even more respect for the man. He clearly cares deeply about how our justice system treats those of us who are neurophysiologically broken, and that means a lot to me because it's something that I care about. Very glad these lectures are available. I'm a biochemistry major minoring in psych (in my 30s , haha). I want to study behavioral pharmacology in grad school, but these lectures have been making me think about changing my plans. Thanks again, Stanford, for making these available.

These lectures have given me so much context for my own neuroses and validation for my own struggles; they have changed how I think about myself. I originally came here for the emergence lecture and decided to watch the whole series out of curiosity, and now I'm here with a completely different understanding of things, and a vastly richer world to live in. Dr. Sapolsky has got to be one of the best lecturers I have ever seen, spinning together an intricate web of philosophy and science that reminds me why I love learning, and that there will always be more to love and appreciate and discover in the world. I cannot appreciate this series enough

In the Middle East they call these types of lectures about the brain and mental illnesses "Blasphemy".....look up Dr. Wafa Sultan who was a Syrian Psychiatrist born in Syria who tried to get treatments for their acute forensic mentally ill and violent but was called a "Blasphemous" person and hunted to be killed in Syria by the leaders there. They wanted to kill her because they knew she would tell the world that Middle East refuses to purchase Antipsychotic medications (the only treatments which work for the mentally ill and psychotic/manic) because the Middle East leaders don't want the Phamaceudical companies whom are owned by the USA to profit from this. So instead they allow their mentally ill to suffer inside their illnesses or ship them all to the USA and Canada for treatments. One injection of Antipsychotic medication for ONE person is $3000 a month. Now add this up for the entire world.....USA cannot pay for the whole world to get mental health treatments. Middle East need to stop allowing their violent to take over and treat them instead so people can live in peace.

Okay, so were Professor Sapolsky and I the only ones that caught the significance of him referencing the 1840s when he meant the 1980s, and then saying "I won't go there." There being how it related to earlier in the lecture. I'm absolutely in awe of how how swift and fluid his cognitive flexibility is!

I'm so happy that he's paid to talk to us. I love his lectures.

1:23:40 the guy in the audience got his insular cortex activated :)

The relationship between the pre-frontal cortex and amygdala described around 1:06:00 (in which each one tries to inhibit the other) reminds me of Plato's allegory of the soul in "Faedrus". According to the myth, the soul is described as a chariot consisting of three parts: a black horse (representing desires), a white horse (representing emotions) and a charioteer (representing reason). The charioteer (logic/reason -> "pre frontal cortex") tries to "inhibit' the horses (impulses / emotions -> "amygdala"), and of course the horses try to resist! It seems to me that Plato described in over-simplified terms how human nature works. Today we can examine human tendencies in scientific terms, but nevertheless the model is pretty similar.

The key diagram, which is the central focus of this whole important lecture, is the one on the right-hand side blackboard. It remains out of the camera angle for nearly all the 1h 45' of the lecture. Finally, the camera operator deigns to take in the full diagram at 53:12. This is the key illustration of the critical connections at work between the limbic system and the frontal cortex, with activation of various dopamine pathways. This cameraman consents to let the diagram shine in its full glory for 2 seconds from 53:15 to 53:17, to abandon it entirely at 53:20, never to be seen again. Nothing more frustrating for a dedicated student of this whole course on Behavioral Neurobiology, offered on KZread by Stanford Un., who is following the series of the 25 (or 27) lectures. Viewing that diagram early on, as soon as it becomes the center of the discussion, would have been essential to any viewer. After all, our Incredibly Learned Professor has lavished all his attention on his self-made sketch to make it nearly self-explanatory. Whatever drawings are on the boards are so critical for viewers who are not in the classroom to allow them to fully follow Prof. Sapolsky's rapid-fire presentations. Note that this neglect persists throughout the whole series of the lectures. This is the irritating weakness of all those videos. If the explanation is correct that this operator is a film student at the university who's given a chance for developing camera skills, it is tempting to believe that this student is under 25, with a frontal cortex not yet fully mature, and has not yet completely understood the dynamics of teaching and those of viewing videos of those lectures. For this operator, the interest is not in the intellectual teaching process of our Incredibly Learned Professor, but in following his photogenic personality at the center, finding satisfaction only in focusing on his beard, pony tail, and moving arms. Even when our Incredibly Learned Professor, in his Aristotelian ambulatory style, rushes from the left towards the right to point with his left arm to the famous diagram, the camera, obstinately stays focused on Prof. Sapolsky's fascinating figure, barely condescending to include some portion of the arm pointing towards the diagram, but never switching to a full take of the sketch, that we got only for a few fleeting seconds, way towards the end. What a pity.

Just a few notes arising from the last, truncated, Army story : I remember it as the Abrams M-1 tank. Coursing predators , whether alone or in groups, are most prominently dependent on their attentional skills. Playing/fighting skills also (social playing/fighting) depend upon developed AND innate reflex arcs. So, social and environmental learning adds to - practice improves some - reflex arc development. Working and playing with wolf, I saw distinct learned cognition of whether an object was animate vs objects that were predictable (and thus not composed of edible parts). Adult wolves are bored by preditable inanimate movement, although always attentive to new stimuli. There is another attentional difference between wolves and neotenous domesticated dogs. Wolves appear to have far faster reflexes under cognitive control, as their bite strength varies superbly in situations of blinding speed equivalent to serious lethal encounters. Dogs aggressively engaging a wolf will find themselves bearing serious wounds so quickly that most humans do not even see the strike. Yet most wolf social fighting is air bites, hip and shoulder checking. Firing a tennis ball at a wolf, the faster one throws it, the more accurate the midair catch, while a dog is better at gauging gravitational arcs, far poorer at pure speed accuracy. But, back to strategy. Strategy of lion prides, wolf packs, and coyotes have all been attributed to both individual responsiveness (attention) and in some cases, clear dispersal to strategic points and tactical drive or deception of prey. Corner-cutting is attentional, reflexive/cognitive, agile. Hyenas, by the way, can kill female lions when a group of hyenas encounters a lioness. However, EVERY time a big male lion encounters any amount of hyenas, at least one hyena will be dead, the male lion uninjured. Thus you have evolutionary support for males' roless in lion prides, especially when you include the continuing protection of present cubs. Successful lion prides mostly have two males, one of which is reproductive, and the other usually a sibling of his. An adult male reproducer is in severe trouble if he is solo male in a pride. Wolves, although males are 20% to near 50% larger, also retain a cubs-first eating pattern, enforced most often by the reproductive female. Painted dogs are the most social predator, with many interesting and to us, often admirable, social traits. They are critically endangered due to heavy human fragmentation of habitat.They do the most alloparenting of any complete (both sexes. Gender is a word meaning the ending of words in romance and germanic languages, and is not properly applied to actual males, females, or intersex individuals) social animal. Wolves are also highly altruistic, with strong alloparenting, although this has been attributed to the closer relatinoship in the smaller wolf packs. Interestingly hyenas (spotted are the largest of four species) are closer to the Felidae than to Canidae, just as the highly social likon is a felid. They both hunt in canid-like ways, although lions really retain the ambush characteristics of felids. Once, before the dispersal of Canidae, ancient hyena species numbered over 30 species. It seems that canids entering the scene outcompeted the more doglike hyena species, leaving only the four. Unlike wolves, the two larger hyenas are known to eat humans when opportune. They are as mythologized in Africa in the same vilifying way as wolves and coyotes are by Europeans and Euroamericans, another case of the misattribution of fiction as fact mentioned by Sapolsky in the limbic/FC-ACC discussion. Just today a pair of wolf biologists published a letter calling for neurological/evolutionary study of the hypothesis that some , but not all, humans hereditarily have antiwolf responses (I am inclined to bet that epigenetic and cultural misattribution of amygdala-mediated predator fear is in the mix. Maasai and more ancient Mediterranean boys and heroes equated overcoming of lions with manhood test, and Inuit/Inupiat, spearing a polar bear, are analogous traditions. The Euro- gun hunting arising in the 1800s is a safe aberration of something having to do with predators and social protection)

The lever vs pulling difference may have some consequences regarding drone strikes versus boot on the ground, even though it's not as direct an analogy still. For those in charge, the soldiers in the ground are the lever.

was scared slightly when the william's syndrome description sounded slightly like myself, but the rest of the lecture was amazing.

"[49:48] I suspect ultimately saying that in a small handful of places, if you have no frontal cortex at all, we’re talking about neurology. [49:54] If you’ve got any frontal cortex, we’re talking about morality and soul, and even all of that. I suspect it will eventually make as little sense as lacrymal glands drying up. [50:06] Ok I’m obviously just on the edge of tirading. So let’s take a 5’ break." This is a tremendously revealing self-comment. Here, we can see our Incredibly Learned Professor delighting in the bizarreries of past human judgment - revealed by cool and rational research as conducted by his frontal cortex. But this does not preclude his own emotional reactions to the data, thus giving a play to his own limbic system, as often expressed in his little personal remarks of joy or disgust, "interesting", "exciting", or"whoa!", "depressing", even "absurd", or "insane". When he so delights in highlighing the ridiculously fanciful intuitions of the past, they are immediately exposed as the product of "insane"and tremendously ignorant moral/social considerations. While, by contrast, he extols the illuminations from advancing scientific brain and behavior research in radically transforming our worldview. The implied suggestion is that many of our current beliefs about human nature and behavior may in the same manner suddenly or gradually change in the near future as an effect of new research data. If we read Professor Sapolsky’s six previous books, all the way to his recent magnum opus BEHAVE (2017), we cannot fail to be struck by his passionate interest in the repercussions of progressing neuroscience in undermining the fallacies now accepted as given dogma in many of our current social practices and moral beliefs - and especially the failings of the legal system to update some of its backward rules. In this critical manner, he joins the wave of scientific criticisms animating many scientists in brain research, such as, for instance, the empirical psychologist Daniel Kahneman.

Now I tried this on my sister, I yelled her name and she just flinched and looked up at me in confusion. (She was listening to music) Second time when I yelled at her she was making food.( This time she got angry). So my observation is that when you are focused( activated foetal cortex) and someone disturbs you, you immediately get angry(amygdala activates) because you loose the focus (deactivation of frontal cortex). And the other emotions like fear or anxiety can lead to anger because now your amygdala is activated.

Gosh I love his brain 🥰

I remembered Phineas as getting the bar through under the zygomatic arch and out the fore crown, which cleaned his frontal clock - forehead would have missed the orbitofrontal cortex. Any other angle would have destroyed premotor, motor areas.

Yes

1:27:00 to 1:29:00 outlines the importance of the socratic method/street epistemology. Becoming rational is not very different from just taking the beliefs you already have and asking yourself "can I justify this belief?"

We're amazing..

whatever he talks about starting 1:24:00 is really cool. The stuff of metaphors

dont rember standford after altering past life like this

If the camera man took a slightly wider shot, he wouldn't make the viewer feel like he's watching a tennis match... 🙏♥️
