    Here’s a thought: What IS a thought? I know it involves my brain, and my brain is made of neurons. And my brain’s neurons are listening to other neurons all over my body. But how do those neurons actually work? Maybe you’ve heard that it involves electricity, but does that mean you’ve got little zaps and lightning bolts running through your veins like Pikachu? Don’t worry, I’m here to set you straight on what a neuron is, what an action potential is, and how fast your nervous system really communicates.

      Funny, I thought that this video was pretty useless for me. There were a lot of filler sidetracking stories, and then just a tiny bit of fairly meaningless, old fashioned lecturing about molecules moving around, all of which left me no more informed than I was before. As someone else said, the most impressive thing I learned in this video is that cockroaches can regrow their legs. Except that apparently adult cockroaches like this one do not. So the production crew seems to have told some lies. (Also, I learned that TH-cam apparently allows animal torture, which I thought was against the TOS.)

The lipid-double wall of the axions is a kind of liquid wall; when it is excited it shortly phase-shifts into a thicker gel and then relaxes again, transmitting a measurable pressure wave along its length!

    I'm in an automatic controls class for my electrical engineering degree and seeing the voltage vs time of the neurons using electrical potential was awesome. Then I noticed it was perfectly damped to get back to the resting state, not over-damped or under-damped, but I guess maybe that could explain certain neurodivergent behaviors as well on the macro scale, along with many other things.

      What gets more interesting is the self aware part thinks its in charge and making the decisions but we are increasingly finding it doesn't. It justifies them after the fact in many cases. The part of you that thinks of itself as you is very much more a passenger than a driver. We seem to be able to make some complex decision making without actually needing self awareness.

    5:48 in case you're curious,here's what people thought before that:
    Three different theories of nerve function were debated as the seventeenth century drew to a close. First, many scientists still adhered to the notion of spirits running through the hollow nerves to contract the muscles or convey impressions to the
    brain. This was an ancient idea, but Rene Descartes, among others, embraced it.
    A second theory held that the nerves secrete droplets of fluid onto the muscles to
    activate them. Thomas Willis, for example, thought that when nerve fluids mixed
    with blood and fermented, they could cause minute "explosions," which would result in muscular contractions.
    The third theory was the idea that the nerves transmit information by vibration.
    This idea found its champion in Sir Isaac Newton, who attributed color perception
    to different waves of light causing corresponding vibration patterns in the nerves
    from the eye to the brain.

For example, the amount of tunnel and pump proteins around the axon, the amount of synapses, or the amount of molecules released into the synapse per unit of current all may increase depending on the nerve cell at hand. Of course, quicker signal transfer through myelin increase helps, too, but it's not a one explanation fits all.

The research was done not by physicians but by physicists:

    The brain generates its own electricity through a process called "neuronal firing." Neurons, the basic building blocks of the brain, communicate with each other by sending electrical signals. These signals, known as action potentials, travel along the neurons' axons, which are long, slender projections. When these signals reach the end of an axon, they trigger the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, which then stimulate or inhibit other neurons, continuing the electrical activity throughout the brain. This complex network of electrical signals is what allows the brain to process information, control bodily functions, and produce thoughts and emotions.

    I know many many people say this but.. the fact that you’ve held my attention without doing ANYTHING else, and that I’m actually interested and have learned more and WANT to learn more than what my science teacher could do even though they had more time than this video.. should say so much about the education system.

    I hope you see this, Dr. Joe. This gives more information for a different purpose, and I wanted to share this with you.
    We love watching this science kind of stuff. This one has a different significance to me, though. It's interesting to watch all the way through and I recommend you do. It's done in a very easy to understand way (he's very good that way).
    But around 17:30 he talks about the myelin which is stuff that surrounds nerves. Apparently, it helps the information travel down a nerve faster.
    The reason it gave me an "Aha!" moment is that in MS, the immune system attacks the myelin and destroys it. Having this explained the way it is helps me realize that one of the things happening is that the "turbo boost" the myelin gives nerves is being destroyed in MS suffers, ... and thus, making the nerves communicate slower than they normally would.
    This is why I love these shows. They can be helpful in more ways than just some fun knowledge.

      Except it won't because the roach is fully mature and won't moult again.
      Also the ice water didn't sedate the roach. It agonised and paralysed the roach, but it didn't put it to sleep. It might have drowned the roach, though. Insects have book lungs and cannot hold their breaths like humans can (not that we can hold our breath while paralysed or asleep either.) I know crickets can die in mere seconds in water so shallow they can literally wade in it. So maybe the roach didn't feel the loss of its leg? Maybe it was already dead from drowning...

    Recognizing and being impressed that the nervous system conducts and operates with electricity should be the starting point to develop intelligence in more people . Not just scientific intelligence (there's plenty of that) but social, personal intelligence, which is not only virtually non-existent, but crosses past zero into the negative measurements, i.e., stupidity. An idea is a thought, but a thought only exists as an action, that is to say, it exists as a flow or pattern of electricity, and yet people treat ideas as property, as if thoughts are things one owns and must defend. Once anyone voices an idea, not only does that very act of communication is giving it away to others, but the reception of that thought is immediately met with the entire nexus plexus of another's mind and therefore is modified through interpretation. And yet people hold onto their ideas as if ideas are fixed, permanent, and have validity by resisting temporal change.
