  • Dr. Berlin examines the relationship between the brain and mind, with a focus on borderline personality disorder. She looks at the neurological basis of identity, taking apart the stigmas that are often attached to mental illness.
    By understanding how disordered minds construct a sense of self, we can gain insight into the selves that each of us create through our choices and interactions with the world.
    Dr. Heather Berlin is a cognitive neuroscientist, professor of psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and visiting scholar at the NY Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Oxford and Master of Public Health from Harvard University.
    She explores the neural basis of impulsive and compulsive psychiatric disorders with the aim of developing novel treatments. Dr. Berlin is a committee member of the National Academy of Sciences’ Science and Entertainment Exchange, and host of the PBS series "Science Goes to the Movies," and the Discovery Channel series "Superhuman Showdown." She co-wrote and stars in off-Broadway and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival show, "Off the Top," about the neuroscience of improvisation.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    This is fascinating. I could be listening her talking for hours, she makes everything very easy to understand yet keeping the scientific rigor.

    'Be nice to your neuroscientist' Love that statement! Very insightful.

    I am totally in love with Heather Berlin. Smart and beautiful, and every time I see her, she always teaches me a little more about myself that I otherwise would not have known.

    Love Dr. B. She's encouraged by psychedelics she once said, sign of an open minded data driven researcher. This video is also good - I'd always thought Diss. Id Dis'd was fake so this clip was news to me..

    Do we have a true individual original personality or is it just a combination of our genes and experiences?

    • @rileyfoster329
      @rileyfoster329 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      the latter

    • @mrburns805

      The combination of genes and experiences gives us our unique personalities

      Excellent question anyway you look at it! There is such a concept as “pre-birth planning”. This is not to be confused with reincarnation BTW. As I understand it, our individual fragmented soul, which is a part of total consciousness of Spirit(“God”), willingly and knowingly preplanned or helped the pre-plan our entire lives before we were born, not only as it actually does happen, but also every single potential “video game” alternative universe choice variable (ex: “what if I had married so-and-so instead of the person I did marry?”). If so, then the former, our “true original individual identity” would be the better answer.

    When all of your knowledge is based on the latest theory...a lot can change, usually too slowly though to prevent the mistakes and damage that get made on its behalf. How was lobotomy ever a thing as one rather late example?

      I don't know what you mean. I am the host of a dissociative system. Maybe I could share a unique perspective.
