    I've always wondered how neurons replenish neurotransmitters. For what I remember from biology in highschool, neurotransmitters are lost with each "blast" in the synapse. So with those neurons firing all day long (like the ones in the heart), don't they run out of them rather quickly?

    BrainCraft In this video you say that a baby makes 700 new interneuron connections every second, and make over 100 trillion connections by the age of 3. However, I read in Bruce Hood's "The Self Illusion" that when a human's brain develops, it starts off with more connections than it ever will have, and that over time when connections are not stimulated they are lost (a 'use it or lose it' theory). This also accounts for the reason why babies have windows of opportunities when their brains are developing; e.g. it's harder for a person to distinguish between faces within a race if that person wasn't exposed to those kinds of faces when their brain was developing as a baby - which is why a european might think all asians look alike, but an asian will be able to distinguish asian faces better. So do connections increase when our brains develop as babies?

    but your neurons change move and die and get renewed everyday like your brain as a child is not the same brain you have as n old person . this is the reason people develop brain malfunctions and other problems as they grow your brain always changes and was not the same yesterday as to day .. ??

    well this is my first video ive watched of your channel, and is there any way you could get ANYONE else to narrate the female part, im sorry but i want to rip out my ear drums listening to her, just do the male voice or get a different female if you must have a woman's voice in it.

    Alison Jane While he certainly is being an ass this is not misogyny. He said they can use another woman so there is no indication that he hates women just because they are women. The word misogyny is so overused these days that its basically meaningless. To the OP. In any critique you need to be more specific for it to have any meaning, what annoys you? tone of voice, pace, material, etc and what about that aspect is bad? that way they would have a chance to change that if more people think like you. Now you are just being a jerk. I'm also getting the impression that this is almost a 1 person project so changing that person would most likely kill the whole project.
