*my last 2 brain cells* : there's hope brother
🤭
LOL
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfao
There is always hope for those who seek
I doubt anyone will believe me but, I watched this video a year ago after coming out of a 5 year relapse. I used to be a very bright kid, however after so many years of drug abuse my brain wasnt working as well as it had beforehand. I watched this video and implemented all of its suggestions. Ive eaten blueberries every morning, slept as much as I can (I always go to bed by 11 at least except on special occasions) Ive run 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes or more, and Ive avoided junk food and stress. My friend who I met in rehab a year ago told me a month ago that I seem so much brighter than the day he met me. My memory is so accurate that i dont have to keep a to do list, its all in my head. I can always remember what I have talked about throughout the day, when before Id forget to finish the conversation I was having. Its astounding and I contribute the healing of my brain to this video. i can now read books when before my attention span was so terrible I couldn't finish a paragraph. and yes, its also because Ive been clean for over a year :)
Erin Nicole my attention span is so dangerously low, but often times, I find that listening to some sounds that block our background noise (music, in other words) help me concentrate much, much more! Either way, I'm glad to hear that you are doing better, it's nice to know that some people actually become amazing students. It inspires me because psychology is something I'm passionate about, yet I still find myself distracted at times, however, I am going to a library tomorrow so that's something to look up to.
I'm really glad for you
this is AMAZING thank you for sharing. i am recently clean and love to see that repairing brain cells is possible
That's really inspiring to hear Erin. Power on!
Arko Das Star on why what is this video selling? Blueberries and bicycles?
I believe my grandfather knew about his back when he was alive; he lived from 1906 to 2001. I know he had a very good memory, and was very sharp in how he spoke, and formed words. Everyone who talked to him thought he had a doctorates. All he did was walk a lot, and keep his mind stimulated with books. He memorized an original Websters Dictionary along with the Bible; he could tell you word for word with punctuation what was on both.
I can see that this really does work!!! Thank you for the Ted Talk!!!
About 10 years ago I had the privilege to intern with Sandrine for a few months. What I admire most about her apart from the science she does is that she practices what she preaches. She was to me a living example that her advice regarding food intake and exercise work really well.
She looks great!
Glad to know that what I felt about her is true!
'Antidepressant' is such a manipulative word for pills that do so much. Pills that are so broad in their target and outcome. Some it helps..many it does not. Especially because we have made a weird new dsm system that is making systemical protocols for humans.
The cliché pills plus 'therapy' of half an hour with a 28 whyte middle class girl who doesnt even know herself.
Anyway the word 'antidepressant' is incorrectly used. They sre either ssri's or mao's etc.
But I didnt expect anything of real high level content on Ted. And yes..yet I clicked on it. Curiosity still.
I rather check Dr rhonda's video's. Who's lightyears ahead from this regurgitating of the same tired information.
Also not even talking about the gut. And how much serotonin is based in the gut. And about bacteria in the brain. And all the other effects (not side..just broad) of the pills.
Plus, she is kind of hot.
חזק
As a summary: if you have a healthy life, diet, exercise, etc. you will increase production of neurons and lower depression.
Thanks bro. Saved me 10 minutes
Also lions mane and/or psilocybin.
Y'all crazy😂
@@gintkrig That’s not a shocking discovery. But the fact that it also causes growing new neurons (which was thought to be impossible for decades) is definitely great news.
Aside from taking care of our physical needs, we need to consider the emotional ,mental and spiritual aspects of our life. " Man does not live by bread alone.." This fundamental truth stated by Jesus Christ is as basic as breathing but few people realizes due to cultural,religious and other limiting beliefs that focus only on satisfying the physical needs but not the spiritual dimension of human existence. Regardless of one's religious inclination like Christians,Judaism,Islam etc, spirituality is necessary to make our life meaningful,peaceful and satisfying !
to summ up: eat healthy, excercise, and learn
Thanks!
+Angel Angelov you owe me 11 min
+Angel Angelov Problem is we are already doing that and get the results we do. To get further, it takes more than this. Optimizing life to 150 with good vigor to at least 100 needs more knowledge. Paleo diet won't get you there, new bio constructed food is needed.
+Angel Angelov That's too much effort. I'd rather just stay dumb
+chronicprocrastina Yolo
It’s crazy to me how difficult it has become to do the basics required for mental and physical health. I, like most, embraced decline at 45 and then -after feeling tired and foggy all the time - simply started to do all the things we all know are important. Sleep, hydration, nutrition, exercise and daily meditation. I’m 53 now - am going through an extremely stressful life change (death of my life/biz partner). People I’ve not seen for 10 years don’t recognize me - in a good way - because doing these simple things are absolutely transformative. I weigh what I did at 20, I’m in a good mood most of the time, I have all the energy I need and experience a clear head every day. I can’t imagine how much more difficult grief would be if I’d not embraced the idea we aren’t meant to feel awful all the time.
Amazing story thank you for sharing your inspiration
100% True.i am following
Also as we get older, we tend to loose excitement. I bet these moments of joy/exaltation when I recieved random gifts as a kid would be pretty heathly for my old brain !
@@Uberkeko. it’s our turn to give those gifts to kids.
So what exactly did you do to achieve this?can you elaborate on your points
Makes sense. After I had chemo my brain did not work well anymore and I suffered depression. Even diagnosed with bipolar disorder and couldn't get by without meds for years. I became vegetarian and started eating a lot of fresh fruits and veggies and yea a lot of dark chocolate. I didn't run but I did power walk everyday for at least an hour a day and did yoga to help me distress. When I started I had a notebook that I had to write everything in or I would forget. Even conversations I had would be lost. I could remember how to get places I had been going my whole life and could remember my doctors names or the names of people I went to school with when I saw them on the street. It got so bad that one day I lost my notebook while out of town. I sat on the floor and cried because I was so lost and confused. The people I was with helped me call every shop we had been to that day until we found my notebook.
It took me years to get myself back to where I didn't need the book but I now believe it's because of my diet and excercise habits that I'm able to be ok. I'm always reading now and trying to learn new things. Before people kept saying I needed to see a doctor because something was wrong with me. Now the same people say I know a lot and ask me about different things.
I'm in a group online where a lot of women have what they call chemo brain. It's really bad and for some people the worst of it is lasting 10 and 15 years. For me it was more like 5 years or horror. I don't want to go back to that.
I'm happy for you
Glad you're better
that's it, keep pushing!! You did amazing!
It makes me happy to see you’re doing better❤️
To real summ up:
Ways to increase neurogenesis:
1. Calorie restriction of 20 to 30 percent
2. Intermittent fasting (i.e., spacing the time between your meals)
3. Intake of flavonoids, which are contained in dark chocolate or blueberries
4. Omega-3 fatty acids, present in fatty fish, like salmon
Your brain needs calories to compute
@@AgainstAllOddz It is so funny that you said that... Yes, we need calories, but not nearly what they say we do. My personal trainer and then my doctor did a full work up based upon my body mass, lean tissue, and activity and concluded that to sustain my body weight, I must consume 3,000 calories a day. I told them that I was too busy to eat traditionally and 3000 was excessive. They insisted that I eat 5 or 6 small meals a day to get the calories, sleep 8 hours a night, and consume 90 ounces of water daily. I was trying to optimize my health, so I played along, except...I only ate 2,000 calories a day and drank a half gallon of water because I simply could not consume more. Within 5 months, I had gained 30 pounds, I was sluggish, tired, and forgetful despite my excellent diet, athletic lifestyle, and getting 8 hours a night of sleep. When I decided that enough was enough, I decided to do what my body wanted - when it wanted. I drink less than a liter of water a day, sleep 6 hours a night, eat once (in the afternoon) most days, consuming no more than 1000 calories. After a year, I finally went back to normal. Another year later, I am energized, motivated, and can retain exorbitant amounts of information daily. I just recently completed a medical microbiology course where my professor warned that all of that stuff we are being told about water and calories is a farce, and my own experience verifies it. Bottom line, listen to your body, everyone is different so my way doesn't work for others and vice versa. I live in the States and I can honestly say that 30% of caloric intake would be a benefit for many.
Sang Min Lee Thank you
Lion's Mane supplements build new nerve cells.
@@user-pv9my4gl9w Your PT/doctor didn't know what they were doing. I never miscalculated how much calories I need and find it very easy to maintain desired weight. If you gained 30 lbs in 5 months you were eating about 700 kcal/day more than you needed. But unless you are a very tiny feather light lady living sedentary lifestyle with minimal to none physical activity, you're most likely going to another extreme with only 1000 kcal/day. You should avoid eating more than 300 kcal above/below your daily energy needs.
As for 30% calorie restriction it's super dumb to think everyone has the same energy needs so they can all cut to some same arbitrary number. Overweight people may need to cut it more than that (gradually), anorexic people will suffer greatly even die. Not saying that's what you're suggesting but the way it was presented in the video is mind-numbingly dumb and for some people very dangerous.
I'm glad TH-cam recommended me this after watching Gucci Gang
Gucci gang is the best
I’ll watch it until I die
such an underrated comment lmfaOoo
Same here 😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is actually the main reason I started running after reading the benefits on Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) which is released while running, yes I enjoy the cardiovascular benefits, endorphin release, alleviated stress, fitness etc. But the main reason why I started running was actually to help me study, concentrate and retain information better. Studying computer programming at university is an abstract skill that requires a lot of learning and consolidation of new brain cells, before I started running I could barely last 5 minutes staring at the screen before zoning out and then procrastinating on social media. Running literally allowed me to sustain concentration, learn and solve problems much better, increasing my work productivity a lot!
Extended fasting will greatly increase BDNF as well.
how long you've been doing the running until you see the results?
@@arkndt I mean I would say immediately, although the immediate results may not be due to increased BDNF, but after a run I feel the increased circulation and blood flow to the brain which helps me concentrate after a run after resting for a bit of course. Also it relieves stress which can be distracting while studying.
@@guibox3 I've heard that also!
Fantastic ,loved this ,…had a mild stroke the past 2 years, still teaching full time, I believe in diet, exercise, learning new subjects, perseverance helps the brain keep healthy. I will be 76 soon and , write, publish , teach ,learn new subjects, explore, exercise as much as I can , keep up with good diet as much as I can ..keep positive and so on. Perseverance while keeping a positive outlook with what you have gained from shortfalls .
I'm 50 and the past 7 years I've learned that the more you exercise your memory and keep teaching yourself new things your good to go.
You are really inspiring, I would like to be able to say I’m still willing to learn as I get older! Most people are the opposite lol. It can be intimidating to be a beginner at something.

@Jay Larkin 😂😂😂
Its okay man you can always take the first step and change it from unhealthy to being healthy af💪 but you'll have to work for it for sure
I associate ted talks with academic duties (bc of school) and thus stress and guilt (because I've poorly in school the last few years) so I always ignore ted talk videos and yet on the rare occasions I bite the bullet and watch one anyways it practically always fascinates me, inspires, and leaves me feeling satisfied that I've learned something and enjoyed myself while doing so. I gotta stop getting in my own way
Yes thanks for this amazing TEdtalks, from now on we know what to do to add more new neurons... 👍👍👍
Depression is the part where I concern on since I was depressed several times due to anxiety and bad environment, but luckily my life getting better ...
What a wonderful life is when you find joy at the right time as I was so happy to watch this video...+++ Neurons.. ❤️❤️
I have had two significant brain traumas. the first was a Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis while pregnant and the second was a stroke 3 years later. I was left side affected and had deficits in every way. I worked with speech, physical, occupational therapists. I am living proof that we can not only rewire our brains after some trauma, we can grow neurons. I am now 49, 15 years post-stroke, and I am learning ukulele, guitar, and piano. I've been taking lessons since July and am already playing full songs (reading music). I also walk normally, speak quite well, and can feel my mouth! I am also on the autism spectrum and two children, 21 and 18. I'm amazed. The brain is amazing.
hey Tammy, thank you for the hope! I got an exact answer that i was seeking.
Positive energies to you🙌🙏
You can make a video on your experiences. It will motivate needed people. So, please.
This is brilliant! So thankful Scientists and Medical are learning this! Thank you for sharing! To many have been lost to crippling pharmaceuticals! Pray that they all come together and all needs get met for everybody to have the best life!
I wrecked most of my brian cells with drugs and alcohol years ago but decied one day to do the opposite direction and feel so much better and healthier for it
Me to i destroy my brain with drugs many different ones, my memory ìs very bad short term almost gone, i am now drug free and desperate to make my memory stronger, i will be trying these exercises.
It doesnt damage your brain as much as you think. Make sure to eat lots of unsaturated fats, omega 3-6-9 supplements, avocadoes, olive oil, eggs, fish, fish oil supplements
Good now go ahead warn and guide people not to experiment with everything 🙂

As someone who is recovering from a hemorrhagic stroke, this is encouraging. I used to think it was just downhill from here, and that I would have to make due with whatever remaining brain cells I had.
It's good to hear that healthy living can help restore what I lost.
Yes. absolutely, you can restore 99% function. I'm no doctor, however, I have seen it in a few of my family. Belief and following a dedicated neurogenesis process will restore function faster. I would also recommend watching DR. Berg's TH-cam channel for foods beneficial to healing the system. God Bless.
@@motorcycle_therapy I appreciate the advice, I'll look into Dr Berg
in addition to Dr Berg i highly recommend watching Dr Pradip Jamnadas MD, a cardiovascular doctor who talks about how to feed your body to cope and avoid CV issues. It seems to be a lot in the food we eat. The body can heal everything.
snaptrap5558 Would be interested to know how you are a year on. Have you completely recovered from the stroke?
@@gracecotton9819 It's been very gradual to recover memory, but I while I still notice (and use the excuse) frequently that I struggle with short term memory, I find ways to help compensate like talking to myself out loud about what I'm doing. I rely heavily on notes too.
I did have grand mal seizures two weeks ago that they said are due to radiation treatment I was getting with Gamma Knife, and now I'm on keppra and steroids and that's controlling it.

Hello TED .. I'm glad to hear about this capability of brain. I've been stressing myself a lot coz of my uncontrollable anger for years. I don't know how much I've affected my brain with that. But listening to this video gives me a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
Wow, who would’ve thought taking in useful knowledge, getting enough sleep, living a clean healthy life, and exercising would have such a positive impact on your brain…
I’ll just add that having good association and meaningful relationships and conversations also contributes…

Reading the comments, it's obvious that a lot of people think that when science confirms what we expected, then that science is trivial or useless. The attitude is "we already knew that." On the contrary, we already suspected that, but we might have been mistaken or only partly right. Now we have solid evidence, and we may better understand how something works or which components or aspects of what we suspected are more important or effective. In this study, for example, the questions that arise include: Which activities, behaviors, and nutrients are more effective and in what proportion?
+alwaysuseless With clarity like that, I am befuddled at why you chose the screen name "always useless"! Seems to me you are far from it. :-)
Tigerpaws9097826 Thanks! Don't tell anyone, but my TH-cam name has a double meaning: 1. Always Useless (self-deprecating humor). In other words, it's a joke. 2. Always Use Less (more serious as an earth-friendly motto).
+alwaysuseless This adds a lot of information. I've never heard that blueberries were supposed to be good for me.
+alwaysuseless Up until this talk I had no idea we grew new neurons (sp?). I found it fascinating and motivating.
Yannis Vatis I, too, had always heard that we can't grow new neurons, although we can establish new connections, or connections can atrophy. It's been 2.5 months since I watched this video. I hope these results stand up to further scrutiny.

Many people my age have heard their parents say one repetitive statement, "if you stop moving you'll die" this was response my grandfather used to say when he was asked why don't you retire? I now have a better understanding of where this old saying came from! It makes excellent sense, if the comparison between being idle and active either promotes or retards the growth of new neurons, this would explain why many of our elders use this old saying on a daily basis. As someone who has now reached the age of a senior, I realize that being idle makes me unhappy, if there's nothing left to learn then what is there left to live for?

I had a stroke a year ago and yesterday found out that my brain had completely healed. I have no scar tissue and my brain is normal. Dr said it was a miracle. I think it’s down to having a little red wine, taking fish oil every day, probiotics, eating fish and bananas. Plus avoiding stress. I had a massive boost on my brain health when I started lifting weights again. I still don’t sleep enough though.
Is being in stress is normal for our brain or being happy?
@@anggupta461 I don’t know. I think it’s a choice to be in either state. It’s all perception.
Very interesting topic. I admire these scientist so much for the important work they do. I believe the human brain is still a mystery and there is so much to learn.
This is very helpful to someone like me with 2 brain cells
All this information should be taught to all high school students, as most teenagers rebel against rules without a good explanation.
This video is an excellent lesson for all.
Government run public education doesn't want critical thinkers. They want obedient workers.
Schools cannot, nor should not, be the sole space for learning. There is too much. Public schools are to lay down an age-appropriate academic foundation... that’s it. Learning such as this is the product of a mind that was taught to be inquisitive. That’s on mom and dad.
So true
I used to run 5 miles a day, always before performance. I thought the reason I could think better was a type of sedation. I always felt calmer. I found that it worked for math exams as well.
Once, I had a very walk and I couldn’t wait to get to the piano afterward. I knew I would play very well. I was right. If you want to score well on your math exam, run that day.
Glad to hear you. Thanks for giving us this valuable research findings regarding neurogenesis. And your guidelines for healthy lifestyle will surely help to improve our overall health. Thanks again.
This helped me realise so many things about my own life, what has happened in recent years and how I feel depends on how I act and react to the actions of others.

I wish I could run but I get shin splints :( No cure for it either. :(
This is spot on, running has saved me so many times. Back injury and shin splints kinda stopped that for almost a year, but I just got back into it, and it's working again, I can't run as far as I did last year, but I am working up to it :)
I tried running once. Pulled a muscle after about 50 yards and had to limp back. Had the sense not to risk that again.

This discussion explains a lot to me, having experienced anterograde and retrograde amnesia in my mid-twenties, as my entire personality is far different from when I was younger. Even the methods I use to decipher what's going on around me, as well as my literal need to continue gaining more information -- as an addictive learner.
Absolutely fascinating! Most of the tips for increasing neurogenesis seem like the usual advice we're given for improving any aspect of our health, but the point about calorie restriction is intriguing to me. I've had anorexia for over a decade and (as I think most anorexia sufferers would agree) it has had a tremendously negative effect on my memory and cognitive abilities. Like many sufferers, I had to drop out of education during my worst years because I simply could not focus and, at times, struggled to even hold a conversation. 'Brain fog' would be an understatement. There are significant parts of the last decade or so that I can't even remember (whereas my memories pre-anorexia are still very clear). I'd really like to learn more about how calorie restriction improves neurogenesis because I feel like it's been incredibly detrimental to my cognitive abilities.
Anorexia is usually a restriction to 900 calories per day. The usual intake is around 2000 per day for females(2500 for males). This presenter suggested a maximum restriction of 30% per day not 55% as most anorexics practice. Furthermore, intermittent fasting is advised for 2 days a week, not 7 days a week as is practiced by most anorexics.
If you find that your intake is comparable to a general presentation of anorexics, you could literally double your intake and still be within these healthy guidelines.
@@AnotherDebtSlave 900 calories? Do you have any sources for that? Out of the dozens of treatment providers I've seen, dozens of journal articles I've read and countless other AN sufferers I've met, I've never before heard 900 calories referenced as some sort of special number that characterises Anorexia Nervosa. One friend who passed away from her AN stuck religiously to 1200 calories a day, but the vast majority of us will consume vastly differing amounts. I guess if an average *has* to be given, then 900 is a reasonable enough amount but I just can't imagine why anyone would think it's a good idea to do so. AN behaviours variate a lot between different sufferers and it doesn't seem accurate or useful to try to quantify it with a single number of calories consumed.
You make a good point about the frequency of the calorie restriction in IF, though. Of course there's a huge difference between heavily restricting for two days of the week, as opposed to all seven. However, I'd be intrigued to know how well this actually works for "non-disordered" people. I can't help thinking that most people would just end up subconsciously compensating for their restriction on the days when they're not fasting.
@@OhCrumbs96 oh I'm sure you're perfectly correct and nothing that you've done has impacted you negatively in any way. Continue on, being the best you that you can be.
@@AnotherDebtSlaveI think she suggests going back to 2500 calories/day as an opposite to 3500+ which most Americans are having these days
I've had mixed results with transcendental meditation... The good part about it is that it makes me more aware of my body and mind. Physically. Sort of like exercise does. It calms me down. A session lowers my blood pressure. The bad part - which comes when meditating more than a few times a week - is that it makes my memory worse. I get distracted easier. I space out. I feel sort of paranoid. I become intolerant when I'm in situations where there is noise. And missing a meditation session drains my energy.
*Short* , highly-useful, fact based and well presented. A perfect TED Talk

I have 3 doctors and am on seizure medication, was informed yesterday that I have an anomaly and now they want to do a craniotomy resection just to see if it grew or if cancer has set in. I feel no head pain and have not had a major seizure since Jan 2019. I fully agree with you that neurons can be replaced but am told otherwise. I did not have a seizure until after my surgery the surgeons tried selling the idea that I have had seizures my entire life.
I think listening to her with her cute french accent increases my neurogenesis
Zgermud, them turds in my pants boiii! 😁
I think you need to keep on listening to her until you feel normal.
Sounds like it was increasing something else for you there buddy
XD ... I like smart guys like you Gekkou31
Very funny😇
English is not my first language and I understood her just fine, some people are such jerks.
Das ist nicht mein Name there is literally nobody being a jerk about her accent. All the comments are positive. Nice try tho.
So crunchy food bad?
-好請俟你伝过來、謝謝？
seeing is believing,we need practical presentation
Kari Kepala Gajah No! Crunchy food is GOOD! Think carrots, salads, apples etc! Soft foods she says are bad. Which is a little confusing. Does that include foods like oatmeal etc?
THIS IS SO
IMPORTANT ! Thanks for
this video
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a stroke 6 years ago and the doctors didn't understand how I survived it (though I do have some neuropathy but nothing to change my movements). One of things I have done for a very long time, even before the stroke, is in meditation, or throughout the day, I focus a gold light moving through my brain, sometimes I change the color to light blue or white. I truly believe this helps. Blessings.
It helps a lot!
Strokes are my biggest fear :(
I live in India and meditation is I was always told to do. But I neglected it. But few months ago I did mediation course and started meditation daily. Trust me guys, it's magical. It can completely change life and we can become stronger than we ever imagined. We can be truly limitless.
What’s the course?
@@OscarGaleas1114 it's called Vipassana, a form of meditation at Vipassana meditation centre. Such centres are at many places in India.
@@OscarGaleas1114 you can follow any forms of meditation through TH-cam. Just look it up “meditation”. I found one for myself as a beginner. I don’t do it everyday but when I feel I need one , I take the time. ❤❤❤
Meditate on God’s Word “I am the way, the truth, and the life. Whoever comes to Me will never walk in darkness “ John 14:6
Was there anything wrong with you?
I definitely felt an increased activity in my brain after watching this - lots of new hippos born in my brain campus 🙂
You sound smaterer
Where are you from bro🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😜😜😜😂😂😂😂😎
LOLOL f'ing brilliant
💯
This explains a lot much better than other videos.
Vibrational frequencies. Sound does everything
This is really interesting, "the greatest discovery of our generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude".
+Ismaiel Aden I think this is bullshit. You don't grow a new arm just because you believe you can.
+Unknow0059 # Growing a new arm is completely unrelated to what's being talked abou there...
+Jontman42 That was an example.
+Unknow0059 # Well, sharing one's knowledge is important whether it's possible or impossible, however lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all. Ted is a place where smart individuals share their idea to the world.
+Unknow0059 # One's attitude of life will influence how you take care of life. Just because you can't grow back an arm doesn't mean you can't accept that you don't have an arm and move on.
You can grow new brain cells, you can Heal ect. You can do anything. If you Believe it you can do it. The key to Everything is Belief. 🙏🏼
@Miss Isle Maybe I should word it more accurately. We have Huge influence on our Healing! I can't say 100%. But we've all seen when doctors tell someone they won't walk again or they have a disease that has no cure, and the person does not accept what they say and says I Will and then they do! We've even seen people who do accept what doctors say and have no hope but then experience a miracle Healing from God! I've experienced these things. But I apologise for not being more specific, plz forgive me.
@@ChrisOakesCO if your referring to the placebo effect then yeh, that's real. But otherwise, that's pretty much just from movies.
I think it's far more than that
@@ismaeelmahmood7259idk I believe life is more complex than just a simple “placebo”
Thank you, you given lots of information about hiogenesis & neuro genesis in short time.
This talk was so educational and enlightening! Now I will have to go exercise more and eat healthier,so I can produce more new neurons to study programming efficiently!
I'm 17 and know
Every code
how is going that neural making?
LOL that sounds like exactly like a thought that would come into my mind.
SugarCoder Healing from this is possible as she said, natural supplements especially the bioflavinoids, resveratrol, omega fats will help you! Check out this video explaining Quercitin it's pretty amazing, th-cam.com/video/Grq7Ct5iJRY/w-d-xo.html
Yes, just so programming to kill them off again.
she explains the concept very well. so concise. nice job!
Thank you for this illuminating presentation
Beautifully executed....I have hope...thank you....
Imagine having to memorize a med school vocabulary in French and English
I am not a med student nor trying to discredit her multilingual abilities, but a lot of medical terminologies are derived from Greek and Latin so I don't think that it would be as hard as learning a second (or more) languages.
@@Christopolis it's actually easier even than that. Most studies are published in English or maybe just the abstract. We're taught in French universities that we should have a good portion of sources in English and abstracts are often in English even if the rest of the paper is in French. So basically we know terms in both French and English because our sources are mostly in English in order to reach more people
I don't think learning medical terms, which are often similar, is more difficult than learning usual words.
Shovel, towel, starboard or ankle are very different in french. The tough part : the fake friends, words nearly identical which don't mean the same thing. Rare in medical terms : staphylococcus = staphylocoque.
What really impresses me is that she speaks without notes, not in her native language.
I don't have the brain cells to imagine it. Brb after gaining neurons.
I have to memorize them in Arabic and English which is difficult because the two languages are so different from each other.
Truly fantastic!!! I liked how Sandrine put it in simple words and graphics. Thank you Sandrine.....
I jus love how scientists are so smart yet humble and you can tell from their body lanVguage
good lecture. thank you TED team
TH-cam: you can grow more brain cells
Me: so there is still hope
😂
Yeah.
My Remaining Braincells Are Happy
Intermittent fasting will increase neurogenesis. That looks just fine. I have heard and now experienced that intermittent fasting give time to our body to self heal. Therefore I have started some practice like - Keep 16 hours gap between night and afternoon meal. No breakfast in the morning. I do my morning exercise empty stomach. I have started feeling better now.
Umesh Shinde, yup it's called autophagie,
Ketosis....?
I agree with your method, how is it working out a year later?
@@designer-garb572 fantastic. I'm in nice wellbeing.
Thanks for the reply guys
Palestra maravilhosa ! Assistindo aqui do Brasil em 2024!
This brief video might change my lifestyle. Amazing research and new insights.
I have heard of THIS. I have PARKINSON and fighting for my health. WALKING, stretching, eating healthy
Would like to be part of this study. THANKS again for Today's outing video.
Troy Hagen stay strong buddy..
Watch robert morse on parkinson
Look up CBD oil and MCT/coconut oil, actually works.

Norman's books are all about this. They have helped me with healing from a stroke too. Also available in audio: www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/product/9780143128373-item.html?mkwid=sHJM65blR_dc&pcrid=44154474422&pkw&pmt&s_campaign=goo-Shopping_Books&ds_rl=1254699&gclid=CjwKCAiA_ojVBRAlEiwAOLRxI_LKiy4YeQdLVj85DD5otxkAs4QA7IOGr85LHbw9eacemXnxdGDCixoCkVIQAvD_BwE
I'll start working on my 3rd one right away!
Thank you, Sandrine!
It’s not only what you eat it’s also the texture of the food when you eat it and how much of it you eat
I sustained a traumatic brain injury in 2010 and I am getting better with my memory and problem solving. I also know that as long as you avoid alcohol, you can heal better but if you consume any alcohol it will slow it down dramatically.
Watching this speech was of great value to me. I really appreciate it.
Such a powerful message, thank you!!
this makes so much of sense!
Excellent, My salute , and respect to the honorable mademoiselle Thuret. We are grateful for this precious and life changing information. Indeed these simple lifestyle and dietary principles will go a long way. I have been following a few of them and will include the remaining. God bless you !
This is really interesting and really makes a lot of sense.
I look forward to hearing more about this.
Thanks for sharing this information. I will give it a try and hope to imporve my memory capabilities.
What a groundbreaking breakthrough research 😀
This was wonderful. Thank you!!!
Found this presentation extremely useful. Very engaging and eloquent speaker....thanks! :)
I still watch at least 4 Ted talks video every day that makes my life awesome
I wonder what you could do about the exercise part if you're disabled. of course it depends on what your disability is. But when I worked for hospice home care, we had a schedule of at least trying to get people up and walking around if they had Alzheimer's or dementia. Of course by that late of a stage, I always wondered if it was worth the stress to them, or if it helped? Some people I'd take care of would eat healthy diets that included a lot of blueberries, or some couldn't afford healthy food in their budget. It seemed to me, of course the ones that could afford the healthy foods lived a little longer, but there was a patient of mine that was 94 and he hardly ever spoke. I would play the piano for my clients and their brains would light up with excitement and that's when they could communicate to me. The brain is an interesting thing....
I'd love to ask this woman if she's studied the effects of Lions Main mushrooms on cell regeneration or production in the brain.
This video is truly inspiring! I admire the scientist so much for the important work they do. I believe the human brain is still a mystery and there is so much to learn. I’m glad to hear about this capability of brain. It’s always food life style, and scientist keep convience people through multi-perspective, which is really successful. However I agree with her about getting enough rest, be in middle with exercise, certain foods help produce neurons in brain. It inspired me to meditate. This made me want to stop sleeping late and eating unhealty food.
This video change my thought, gave me hope, increased my brain power, memory focus, health, everything!
As a summary: if you want to have a healty life, diet, exercise, etc. You must increase production of neurons and lower depressions.
This make a lot of sense to me, listening to this video gives me a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
🙌💡
Thank You Dr. Sandrine Thuret, very important information ... This type of info needs to be more main stream.
I'd like to know how Meditation and Mindfullness effect neurogenesis.
Since Meditation sets our minds in a dream alike state and lowering stress, it should have a positive effect on neurogenesis too.
Indeed :) like the hippocampus!! 😀✌️
It increases gray matter in the prefrontal cortex and shrinks the hippocampus. In advanced meditators(40,000 hours plus) they've even found that not only did significant brain changes occur, but their brain's default state had changed completely. So yeah, meditation is awesome!
zerothehero123 I think you're mistaken. If meditation shrunk the hippocampus, that would be bad. I'm just letting you know so you can edit your comment. You may have gotten confused with PTSD shrinking the hippocampus. Meditation is good for the hippocampus though, it just doesn't shrink it.
FLOOR RIVERS What the hells a hippocampus? Is that where the people of wal-mart go to college??
Fantastic presentation.
Thank you Dr. Sandrine Thuret!
This reminded me of a video on the effects of fasting in cancer patients undergoing all levels of treatment including no treatment. It was fascinating
Great explanation in a new field of neuroscience with the unlimited application. Thank you.
This is an amazing talk! Many thanks.
Its taken me over 3 years but Im starting to overcome severe neurological damage from a bad car accident. Ironically the key seemed to be putting my marijuana card to work 24/7 for about 4 months, slowly forgetting the bad network. I learned how to deal with the body wide chaos, freeing me to battle the bad impulses while trying to accomplish simple tasks. I was told I wouldn’t recover, that physical therapy wouldn’t even be helpful. I started weight lifting again just 2 weeks ago and I can’t understand how I’m so strong. Neurogenesis is the key to healing much that ails our society and few understand it.
PS same doctors that said I wouldn’t get better also didnt like that pot helped, 1 hospital even billed my insurance for addiction treatment while I was there and told me to discontinue use and replace it with advil/Tylenol. Thanks big pharma you have a doctors worse brain damage than me!
Okay. I am right on track about the running part. Now I only have to work on all the other points. 👌
I heard that Walnuts contain Omega3 which helps the brain give off more positive emotions so that means it can help us grow better connections
not for puppies
Yes, flax seed and its oil too
@Ben Silva wow you know way better than me!
Yes walnuts are one of the highest sources of omega 3 available :)
close, but this is actually false.
the true reason Walnuts are good for your brain is that they look like a brain
Wow! I found this video to be very interesting and informational. To hear what the human brain is capable of is simply remarkable. Although most of the facts she provided about how our lifestyle either promotes or has a negative impact on the growth of new neurons her delivery made it so much more creative and it helped put a new spin on it.
