Your Brain is You: Learning and Memory (Part 5 of 6)

- The brain stores and recalls information by literally changing its structure. Memories become a part of our neural networks and provide a context from which new memories and connections can form.
Dr. David Eagleman is a neuroscientist and best-selling author at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), where he directs the Laboratory for Perception and Action, and the Initiative on Neuroscience and Law. Best known for his work on time perception, synesthesia, and neurolaw, Dr. Eagleman appears regularly on radio and television to discuss literature and science.
Your Brain is You was produced by BCM's Learning Brain project, which is developing interdisciplinary neuroscience teaching materials for BioEd Online (www.bioedonline.org). The project is supported by a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the SEPA program, Office of the Director, NIH.

Really great video and a good introduction to memory, thank you :) The plastic bowl is a good metaphor to use in order to better remember what it means when something is "plastic". But it is also important to remember that the brain does not necessarily remember information infinitely (you may forget the french you learned in high school) so the neurological change is also able to lose its strengthening in neural connections (long-term-depression as opposed to long-term-potentiation), for example if you are so unfortunate to experience brain damage, amnesia, dementia. The function of our memory, in an evolutionary sense, is as reliant on what it ignores or lets go of, as what it stores. So plastic in this sense is the opposite of an outdated view of a static network of neuron circuits, still standing. What plasticity means in this context is that the brain is a changeable organ that grows and changes in response to genes and environment. In case anyone was wondering :-)
i love the way you explain things :) :) Very clear :)
Great video ! It's really easy to understand and very interesting !
Thank U i needed this info...great video
luv u....ur great!!!
very nicely explained and illustrated. very helpful indeed for someone who does not have a background in biology or medicine.
I am engineer by profession and hence apologize in advance if my question seems absurd, but my question is,
"How does the brain know which information is to be stored n which department? hat is, which information is to go into long term and which into shaort term? Because on a daily basis, we do not consciously classify data based on importance.
For example, one would remember what he/she had for breakfast for a day or two... similarly, a grocery lost for maybe a few hours... on the other hand the name of there mother, the answer to a question etc stay for longer periods of time. How does the brain do this? How does it automatically classify, store and delete data as a continuous process?
Hi, same as you i am not a biologist or a doctor, but from what I have understood from another presentation for the brain is very important the repetition process, your exposure to a certain information. I think within this process the brain makes the decision of what to do with that information. This was my understanding😊
Hey! would you say that after learning a new skill or a new piece of information ,then dropping it and not thinking about it,does the brain consolidate or make stronger connections by itself without consciously thinking about that thing we just learned? thanks
better explained then my textbook
watching this as I'm staying up all night for my test in anatomy on the nervous system.... so, I should sleep..?
same !!
wow
bad explanation of brain plasticity, brain plasticity is its ability to adapt and remap not maintain a new state. the literal idea that our brains can maintain a state other than death indefinitely is really quite ridiculous. and the figures you reference for time of short term memory are just pulled out of the air.
the linguistics portion is about 50 years behind current understanding, noam Chomsky and many others have proven that isolation at infancy does not stop you from learning language. humans have some innate styles of language organisation common to every language ever made, you have this from birth and without damage this is not lost.
i believe most of the "facts" stated in this video are opinion based on misinformation, if this is not the case, i would be interested in seeing any currently esteemed supporting papers. as a general rule of thumb, referencing is good for any science Chanel who wish to be taken seriously.
I agree,the ideas in this video are either very backdated or plain wrong!!!
it is WRONG to think that after a certain period,it is not possible for us to learn language!!! Many disabled children(autistic,Down Syndrom)have learned language after their 5 years of age!!! :/
So.. short term memory does not last for 15 min..? 15 seconds is more like it.
