my neuroscience teacher had us watch these videos near the end of the semester and I actually really enjoyed them! They were the best videos my teacher had us watch all year, thanks for making learning fun!
So, when the PFC is made largely inaccessible due to Complex PTSD/Developmental Trauma or other traumatic events, the resource of "willpower" is also largely inaccessible. It is not a character flaw, but a brain dysfunction. No shame!
Hey Shay, I've not done my research regarding this but that makes sense. If the limbic system can't communicate with the prefrontal cortex it's going to lead to some irrational decisions and it would have a physiological basis... I used to think mental health issues were exactly that, mental. It's opened up a whole new world learning the physiological side of neuroscience.
bro i was watching the video with full seriousness and then you showed the brain inside Cartman's head and i just started laughing...hahahaha....but anyways man your video was awesome
No glucose no willpower is true unless you’re on keto or fasting. In those states your brain will use ketones as its primary source, which will heal Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s symptoms
Hey, the Damasio study was referenced by Robert Sapolsky in his book. I think I found the PDF for it on Google though, with a bit of digging. Thanks for the comment!
I’m a shitty executive. So is willpower my executive assistant? Either way I’m having issues with both after 4 of my 6 tbi events going for my frontal lobes in all directions.
Dustin B Ma man, thanks for the comment. Don’t think I’m qualified to answer, but I’ll give it a pop. The brain’s a very plastic thing. Even phineas gage, with half of his prefrontal cortex removed by steel rod, was able to eventually find work on trains eventually. Which definitely requires willpower. I have ADHD, and what’s helped me is routine/exercise. 3 years ago i was drinking too much, smoking too much weed and unable to do anything of use... routine really helped me simplify my day and regular exercise will physically change your brain for the better. Best of luck my friend.
i've got adhd too, hey bud. quitting porn's a good idea... not sure about sexuality conversion though. think the science and morality is dubious. just do you.
@@injured_lion I moved my addictions to healthy ones. I’m addicted to making videos tbh, do it on tiktok now though. Stopped smoking and partying when Life started to have some meaning.
Hi Cosmic One, finding someone who is kind and nice can be someone from your own biological gender. The soul transcends time and the body and is what truly matters. ❤️

Was expecting R.Sapolsky to be there too ... still interesting for me keep up the good work.
Thank you bro, wil do
This video really helped me find a good foundation to a presentation i have to give about the PF cortex! Thanks lad :D
Troy Alfred no worries man! Hope it goes well

Cartman’s brain can reveal many mysteries. Glad you enjoyed it dude
So how do we stimulate the PFC in a way that will improve will power??
Love it!
Thanks buddy

Ty bro
Nice!
Tommyf Fadgen Thanks Tommy!
Loved it! Subscribed :)
Jia thanks 👌
Nice
D M cheers 🍻
what do i do for low willpower
Wow I love your Account
Thanks, I'm trying to get better each video :)
I would have liked to have watched this, but the background music makes it unwatchable. 😟
Hi, I really enjoyed your video! Could you please let me know if the Damasio study is from the book mentioned or from a specific paper?

@@joshporters Thank you so much! I got the book on z-lib.org easily! It would save you the trouble of digging :)
Akaanksha S oh I bought the book! Wouldn’t screw Sapolsky over like that haha, I meant the paper. Enjoy the book!
Love it
Cheers man, I'll drop a link to your dopamine article in the next one
@@joshporters nice! keep up the great videos

Better listen to my man Honoray de Ballsack
He’s never let me down before
Some of those things sound like "conscience "!
Jiminy Cricket...
Also, a million years from now...Will there evolve something that supercedes that conscience and put the frontal cortex to shame?
Whata man
Meanwhile
Me diagnosed with ADHD and trying to quit porn + tryin to convert myself from gay to straight
i've got adhd too, hey bud. quitting porn's a good idea... not sure about sexuality conversion though. think the science and morality is dubious. just do you.
@@joshporters do you have some sort of addiction? & How do you deal with it?

Noice.
Very Noice
The prefrontal cortex isn't fully grown with people with ADHD
Mindfulness meditation is proven to increase its size over time.
