Dr Hannah, you had me gripped throughout this talk. At the risk of repeating other comments, I've leant sooo much and you are so easy to listen to! Absolutely fascinating, thank you.
I am doing so also. The beneficial effect of natural fibrous cruciferous vegetables seems to be immense. The greater the variety, the more different kinds of microbiomes are available to fight inflammation and act as antioxidants. There is no doubt that processed food is the worst enemy to our health. Good food feeds the good bacteria, but bad food feeds enemy bacteria and the diseases and the inflammation which causes them. Good luck in this fascinating and important area of study. I am reading Dr. Robert Lustig's book 'Metabolical' - it has put me off processed food for life! And taught me the health and healing properties of good food.
An interesting point about working together changing how our brains perceive the world as it seems to match previous research that has shown how behaviours like compassion can induce brain plasticity. Also, in terms of changing false/bias associations, that also reflects the notion of relational frame theory in ACT and psychological flexibility. Interestingly, in a study I've just concluded, I discovered that after eight weeks of compassionate mind training, my participants had significantly increased levels of psychological flexibility, self-compassion and well-being as well as significantly decreased levels of depression, anxiety, stress and psychological inflexibility. Also high levels of compassion for others became significantly more correlated with self-compassion and the pursuit of values which seems to suggest, again, that placing oneself in a self-other perspective of empathy can alter our psychology. I'd love to repeat this experiment with fMRI scans to see whether it crosses over with the research presented here :)
I assume these folks were probably also high in being amenable to these effects, as they were already psychologically minded? Or reasonably untroubled by negative thoughts/feelings pre training CFT?
It makes sense that one generation will pass on the "memory" of things that are dangerous to ensure future generations can "learn" what to avoid to ensure our survival
Yes indeed, the whole presentation was fascinating, if somewhat bewildering at times ( to us lay people) .The notion of inherited memory is truely tantalising. Having lost my father when I was a baby I’ve often been intrigued by my take on the world as I grew up, which certainly didn’t emanate from my mum.
yes. critical theory, aspects of sociology and psychology, eugenics... what are your gripes with neuroscience? at least neuroscience involves some replicable biological research.
@@northstar92 Maybe psychology, fair shout. But neuroscience... That's right up there sat aloft the pinnacle of the shaky, fragile, swaying, stack of misassumptions, house of cards built on shifting sands, that forms our Western mainstream materialist paradigm. How long before the all-mighty white coats realise the map is not the territory?
You glossed overThe Stolen Generation in Australia …. Indigenous mental & physical health cannot be dismissed. Colonisation continues to traumatise this sophisticated proud intelligent race
I have a very different political ideology to other family members due to different life experiences. I once found it hard to make relationships, which changed as a result of life experiences. I once found it hard to pay attention which changed as I found more meaning in my everyday life, and the history of life. I once felt emotionally unstable, which changed as I learnt to understand my emotions to become increasingly very emotionally stable. I once found problem solving very difficult which changed as I become more reflexive. All of this would of happened through learning to use my body and elevate my mind over matter. This would of contributed to neurological growth through practices. To base everything in a predisposed genetic frame is ridiculous as my life and sense of self could of taken very different turns. Life experience and education can continue to help me create the path to a better life, with the freedom to help my genes express themselves in healthy and socially progressive ways.
Too much "this is related to this" and so few real neuroscience, this is just neuroanatomic and neurogenetic stickers on behaviors, this would be cool to have more intrication and neurodynamics. Not a word on the synergy between neurogenesis and learning during young. This is just facts this does not open our minds. Sorry ofr the harsh critic. And once again this is not bcs a brain zone is bigger that it is causal... It is very strange to see this, it looks like the orals we used to to in High School not a real sceince talk... Im not here to say taht the intervenant is dumb just that maybe it will be cool tu vulgarze less and use bigger experiences in details instead of using a lot of little experiences to proove a point.
So a region of the brain being bigger, statistically more likely than not, in a certain type of person, does not prove that there is a correlation (and therefore imply a possible route to look for a cause)? I am confused.

I'm looking into our diet and the effects on the brain and the cells in the body!.. very interesting

Quite interesting Dr Hannah Critchlow.Is key to understand on how our brains function to debunk myths.Much appreciated.

Very fascinating talk. I have learned so much. Thank you.

Some lovely studies
Ive learnt SO MUCH ✨🍀🌞✨

Fascinating information throughout. Although this was seemingly written through no free will of my own. I need a chat with Dan Dennett...
Is there a scientific discipline that's strayed further from reality's path than contemporary neuroscience?
yes. critical theory, aspects of sociology and psychology, eugenics... what are your gripes with neuroscience? at least neuroscience involves some replicable biological research.

this is not neuroscience this ks scientist stickers on life
Dr Critchlow has made the classic mistake of believing that her definition of free will is a reflection of reality rather than an opinion.
Of course !
I think the motivation to Go out and hunt for food would be hunger
also the drive to explore, to provide for the tribe, and to seek mastery over predators. probably more

How does learning things throughout life go against anything that was said in the video?
