  • In this video, Dr. Kushner explores the various functions of the amygdala. Don't let it's small size fool you. This almond-shaped structure is vital to our survival, helping us detect threats in the world and triggering a fear response within the body. 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️

    I have just recently concluded through self analysis and reading and watching/studying YT channels about the brain that I am "seeing, feeling and adopting" more positivity after a life time of negativity and skeptism. I never thought it possible that I would ever see the light.THANK YOU dude for the pathway and confirmation.

    Dr. Kushner, I shared your lecture with my patient as an introduction to why we are training parasympathetic responses as well as using CBT to identify what possible experiences have trained his fear reactions I like research about positive emotions as a function. That is why we can neutralize the fear with a positive thought. Love the intense emotions lecture. I'll use it too help patients understand and know that they can cope.

      Thinking about how we respond to the environment is such a great topic. If you want to research something cool look up “reflex arc”. Our reflexes (like touching a hot stove) is controlled by our spinal cord - our brain is not aware we have touched something hot (or stepped on something sharp) until AFTER we remove our finger (foot) 🧠😎

    My first vid of this channel. Outstanding this explanation. I ended up here after watching a coach slapping his judoka in the face before she got to the mat at the 2021 Olympic Games. So I asked myself: WTF did he do that for? Apparently this was a “defractionation” process of the “fight or flight” responses (trances) that the amygdala automatically provides to that Judoka. The coach basically interrupted that whole process and brought his pupil back to earth (‘the now’). Your vid is very detailed and still very clear even to me as a layman. Good job.

    There is lateralization of amygdala fuclnction.right amygdala only give negative emotions like aggression while left amygdala gives both positive and negative emotions

    Very good explanation! I was today years old when I learned that there are 2 amygdala's.

      Thank you for the kind words. Can you connect the amygdala to the art world?

    I have one question: you mentioned during the cascade the action potential travels from the pituitary gland to the sympathetic nervous system and then to the Adrenalin glands. Does that mean that the release of our stress Hormons will be triggered by the sympathetic nervous system docking at the Adrenalin glands? Also, I am assuming the action potential travels to the brain stem first (where the sympathetic nervous system starts). Would it travel there coming from the pituitary gland? And at what time comes the prefrontal cortex in to understand what happens? Means at what time during the cascade does the action potential travel from the amygdala to the prefrontal cortex and back? Just trying to understand the holistic picture. Thank you :-)

      Great question. In my opinion, it's hard to articulate the "order of events" because everything that happens in the mind-body occurs so fast...almost simultaneously. BUT, if I was to lay out the order:
      1. Amygdala detects a threat in the environment.
      2. Signal sent to prefrontal cortex to determine how to respond (“Should I be alarmed?”)
      3. Amygdala simultaneously communicates with the hypothalamus/endocrine system AND sympathetic nervous system to trigger fight-or-flight.
      4. Hypothalamus communicates with the pituitary gland to send signals to the body to release stress hormones (cortisol, norepinephrine). In turn, receives input from the body.

    I wish you had been my neuroanatomy teacher. I have always had a hard time with abstract information (maths, physics, anatomy) and i really need to visualize, make tangible links and create stories to understand. You do that so well!

    I always thought this was the emotional center of the brain, but I did not realize how new some of the research about positive emotions were. So is there actually an emotional center of the brain? Thanks for your videos again they are the only reason I am passing my class right now.

    • @PsychExplained

      Thank you! When researchers talk about the "emotional center" of the brain they are usually referring to the entire LIMBIC SYSTEM. This includes the amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, etc.
