Now I was wondeeing how different my cats feels licking their fur to clean themselves compared to me accidentally bit one back when he got too agressive when I was trimming his claws.
This is also the reason why after a head injury/traumatic brain injury some patients fight us. The brain in self preservation mode will fight anyone who comes near the body because it doesn’t want to be hurt anymore. So you could just be trying to assess for injury/take a BP/check for a pulse/or just giving a reassuring touch and the brain will send signals to fight of the perceived threat. The first time I saw that as a student nurse many years ago gave me pause for a second before thinking how cool our brains are
Welp if they figure out how to read minds I think their gonna have a stroke by my constant inside monologue and chaotic thoughts oh and continuing murder dreams I had
story 11 is super accurate, i have depression and anxiety (+ a couple others i will not get into rn) and it does absolutely feel like your brain is separate from your body and reality sometimes. it can be incredibly distressing and can make life a living hell. mentally ill brains love to come up with the worst possible thoughts and images and feelings. thank god we live in a time where you can be treated for these things, i can't imagine what it was like to live with severe mental illnesses in like, caveman times. i would not have survived as long as i have. it's a cruel world but sometimes the most cruel part is your own mind
Oh you bet your ass some people live where it can't be treated :'D ( I plan to move out asap ) Edit: it's a thing where religion makes them believe that God is the fix to mental illness or you go to the mad house. Edit[the sequel] : also there aren't any pro-choice doctors or psychologists where I am because.. oh well.. religion is against queers like me :( Being transFem in a Muslim country is a whole thing worth reading but I suggest a trigger warning because it contains rather *depressing* stories and shit that makes you loose hope in humanity.
But caveman rarely had mental illnesses. A large part of why everyone has mental illnesses nowadays is because of society. Are brain are made for survival, not whatever we have now, our brains haven’t caught up yet with changes and they are at their core primal.
2:00 Fun fact: Not long after was born, I was suffering from an extremely severe asthma attack and nearly died on the spot but my father managed to convince doctors to take me to a different, better hospital at the border of Tennessee and Georgia. They used a prototype machine that wasn't even tested beforehand on me to get me to breathe normally again and it worked, however.. They were too late to save me from significant brain damage. I suffered rather severe brain damage and doctors literally told my mum that I'd never be able to move and that I was effectively a vegetable is pretty surprising since I am able to move, talk and think just fine so it probably unsettles doctors as well when I walk in. I do have some minor motor skill issues, but that's it.
holy shit as a person who has been diagnosed with both depression and anxiety now 4 years ago story 11 is so relatable! I honestly feel called out about this one ngl....
I think one of the scariest disorders known to man is fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, which is the only known condition to slowly change one organ into a different organ. Imagine your muscles steadily turning into bone. That's terrifying.
How our vision works can be either creepy or cool depending on your perspective. You don’t actually SEE everything in your environment, you only see a certain amount AND YOUR BRAIN fills in the blanks. Like how does my BRAIN KNOW to go hey this background should have a cow or this wall is pink?
I am autistic. One day I tried to explain to my sister exactly what I remember, translating the images in my mind, and the sounds…. And some extent lighting and color. All of this goes into my memory and how I recall. When I told her that I have to make up logical bridge between memory snapshots. Even when it plays like a movie, it will jerk as if somebody had cut something out. Also, these memories are less reliable and I know that. I’m always reviewing my memories to see if I’ve added something to it that wasn’t there when it was first was re-created. For many of us that are autistic. It is a gift and something we treasure. It has taken me many years to learn what a gift I have. I was born in ‘47, diagnosed when I was 50s: for referance
My autistic brain can parallel process things in a way most people can't. I can be playing a game on my phone and still hear every word of a conversation in the room. I might even respond to something, but I don't have to pause the game to do so unless I want to be more active in the conversation.
@@waleedabdullahkhan5706 That particular aspect of it is great to have, but sometimes it leads to a misunderstanding because someone thinks I'm not paying attention. I still like it though.
I can talk about story 22, since I live with it. It's just straight up children don't have coherent personalities. The personality merges at ~9 years old, however, if severe and/or repetitive trauma occurs, the personality cannot integrate, leading to different facets of personality known as alters (which, as I've heard, means alternate state of consciousness). Basically, the brain believes that due to trauma, it must keep the facets separate to survive.
Yeah plus a things like a personality that didn’t fully merge can also result in dissociation and basically temporary alters in a way while dissociating. If I remember correctly, an example of this would be Borderline Personality Disorder or BPD
@@LunarCatKan BPD is a great example! In fact it has a high percentage of overlap with DID. And you're entirely correct, BPD has a similar thing to alters in DID, just not as developed in a sense.
the thing is, while the literature specifies a thing or another, accounts from all over have determined that there really aren't any hard limits. in fact, that "coagulation" can, just by natural causes, have multiple "centers", leading to a non-DID manifestation of a phenomenon better known as plurality, one that isn't caused by trauma of any kind. in fact, I feel it's somewhat close by to extra organs and whatnot, just at the mental level.
My mother had a stroke while she was doing cardio karate(think tai-bo). One artery going to her brain just plugged up. The doctors said when they see stroke patients with this kind, they are corpses. Doing a scan of her brain they could see that the blood vessels on the side not cut off from blood stretched over to the side that was lacking. Which helped keep that part alive until her artery could be unplugged. They think because she was being active with the cardio at the time of the stroke it gave her vessels the ability to do that.
So it's like: Immune system: "Ay, don't forget this cancer cell over here, and over here, and- *AW, GOD DAMN, JEREMY YOU FORGET ONE- OH FUCK IT'S GROWING, OH SHIIIIIT!"*
Also a disturbing fact: If you think your brain isnt creative, your brain can look at someone for once and almost accurately create a whole anatomy of them
i sleep with my eyes open and i know this because about 6 years ago i was sleeping over at my grandparents house for christmas and my auntie had come into the living room (where i was sleeping) and noticed i was sleeping with my eyes open, she took a photo and showed me when i woke up, i looked extremely zooted, one eye was more open than the other, it was super funny
7:40 is it weird that I always knew this fact? Not because I had already heard of it, but because I can feel my eyes jump while my vision stays smooth, I can also turn of the smoothness to some degree.
@@savvivixen8490 I don't think I've got aphantasia. Which implies the latter. But is it really that weird not to be able to imagine licking something? Though, with my tea, which I'm used to drinking, I can imagine it with some thought and recontextualizing of memories.
@@flameofthephoenix8395 When someone says "imagine a sheep with long tails," is that more of a metaphor to you, or do you have a morphable picture/model in your mind to shift as you please?
@@savvivixen8490 A picture, not a model though, altering the picture takes a lot of thought. I also assume you mean two long tails? Since you said tails, plural. I decided they were fish tails for some reason.
@@flameofthephoenix8395 Interesting! I'm no psychologist, but I do understand that alot of these neurodivergent attributes exist on a spectrum. Many people with aphantasia never know they have it until their experiences (or lack thereof) clash with the people around them. So it could be something to sniff out if it interests you! ^.^!
Most of these just boil down to: when push comes to shove, your brain will throw you under the bus so it can keep on living which I think is the scariest thing of all, or at least the eeriest
The epilepsy experiments thing is about a type of surgery corpus callosotomy - the condition itself is called "split brain" and is incredibly interesting to read about. There was one guy who grabbed his wife with his left hand and shook her violently, something that the other half of his brain apparently took issue with, so he used his right hand to restrain the offending hand. Tells so much yet so little about the inner workings of the brain.
I too am proud of your pronunciation of Demodex folliculorum. Couldn't have said it any better, and I've had to remember the Latin names of organisms/structures throughout my curriculum. Great job!
@ story 22, i have diagnosed dissociative identity disorder and it was pretty cool to see it included! i'm actually capable of full blown conversations with my alters (other personalities) and sometimes i see them as other people in the room. you'd be surprised how different we all are, i disagree with them constantly. it's not all fun and games though, it's the most severe form of c-ptsd and a lot of doctors refuse to believe me despite how many others have confirmed it
The human brain might just be one of the most complex and interesting things in the world. Our brains have two halves that analyze the world differently, and decades ago severing the connection between those two halves was done to "cure" seizures. What was discovered through those split-brained individuals was that those halves of the brain essentially have their own consciousness. The eyes are actually connected to a separate half of the brain each, so split-brained individuals can look at the same thing with each eye and reach two different conclusions. Edit: nice what appears in my comment is actually in the video!
I permanently damaged my ulner nerve in my right elbow from falling asleep on my side looking at my phone, my right pinky and ring finger are permanently numb, its been about 6 years now since the night i dozed off still up on my elbow and the feeling has not come back, research it and beware, its not fun. I drive a truck and shift with my right hand also if you are going to be intimate with a lady its better to start foreplay with her where you can use the good hand and have full sense of touch. It has gotten somewhat better after several years but at first it was as dead as falling asleep on your hand and i had to start trying to learn to write with my left hand for a bit. Please lay flat as you scroll your phone at night and just let your phone hit your chest when you fall asleep
Liver can indeed grow back. In fact it is the only organ in your body with regenerative capabilities. Usually during a liver transplant, from the donor's liver one lobe (a liver is bilobed) is given to the recipient. Both the lobes in both recipient and donor grow back in time to 2 complete livers. So before you decide to be an alcoholic destroying that organ completely, think twice :)
I have read that the one about the brain setting into motion commands before you make decisions is something like a veto system. The brain spits out an idea and if you choose to do it, it proceeds. If you do not, it gets blocked. Now, of how true this is I am unsure.
smooth muscles (think organs and veins/arteries) just do their thing. they communicate with the brain to some small degree but the brain doesnt get to decide much. skeletal muscles on the other hand communicate extensively and it goes both ways. sometimes the skeletal muscles are like " hey brain i grabbed some random thing that smacked our left palm." and the brain is like "wait wut? what is its?" and you look at the baseball you accidentally caught (instinctual reaction) sometimes the skeletal muscles are like " hey brain i want to use 100% of my power and use our heel to itch our upper spine" and the brain is like "NO! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT 100% TEARS YOU APART? you can try with 35ish% but im telling the quadtriceps about this." and then you have a involuntary upper leg spasm (involuntary action) sometimes skeletal muscles are like " im gunna grab this hot iron handle" and the brain be like "not so fast!" and you stop midway to grabbing the hot pot handle (second guessing a voluntary action) and sometimes the skeletal muscles ARENT suicidal or feral and be like "we grabbing the fridge handle" and brain be like "yeah, let me predict the process so the rest of us know" (voluntary action{typical}) so basically the same as what you said but the muscles have the first say.
This isn't a creepy fact, per se, but it's definitely not well-known outside of the medical field: *The gallbladder is, arguably, more useless than the appendix!* "But wait, doesn't the gallbladder make bile?" Nope! The _liver_ makes bile, then _stores_ it in the gallbladder. The gallbladder can concentrate the bile (which can lead to gall stones), and it will release the bile after you eat. "But wait, that's a function! So how is the gallbladder more useless than an organ with no function?" This is a two-part answer: 1. You don't actually _need_ concentrated bile to digest food; it just helps to digest more fats. So, if you ever have your gallbladder removed, almost no part of your daily life will change (unless you eat a lot of fats -- in which case, going to the restroom becomes _very_ interesting...) 2. The appendix has TWO purposes, both of which deal with the immune system! The appendix contains something called MALT -- "mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue". MALT contains T cells, B cells, plasma cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages -- cells that are important to the body's immune response. If any MALT tissue detects an antigen (the part of pathogens that induces an immune response), then it can both attack the pathogen _and_ signal the rest of the body to be on the lookout for pathogens! The second, and simpler, purpose of the appendix is to act as a reservoir for regular intestinal bacteria, so in the event that your gut microbiome is disrupted, you can repopulate with the bacteria that is beneficial to your digestive health. _Clearly,_ the appendix is much more important than we previously thought! The gallbladder, however, only has minor impacts to our day-to-day life and isn't _nearly_ as vital as we previously thought. So, it can be argued that the gallbladder is _more_ useless than the appendix! Thank you for coming to my TED Talk lol
@@charaxiphare TMI warning, but you _did_ ask, so... Basically all the extra fats that you can't digest (due to not having concentrated bile) functionally turn into lube, and: 1. You have to take an absolutely MASSIVE shit within an hour or so from eating, and 2. The explosion of shit is almost like diarrhea, except it's oily not watery. You're gonna go through a lot more toilet paper than you thought was possible, and you're probably gonna need baby wipes to minimize any burning from all the excess wiping... So, yeah; going to the restroom is more "interesting" than it used to be, haha
if ya want some whimsy in your life then yeah, intestines are magic. just like the pixies in my walls that activate my lamp when i turn the switch to let them know they can do their thing and the pixie powered artifact that im using to send you these runes via message spell. the only reason like isnt full of magic is because we INSIST that it isnt called magic. imagine if electrons were called pixe dust and circuit boards were runic tablets. world would be a magical place my guy.
Not quite creepy, but a neat fact. Dimentia and Alzheimer's actually begins in your 40s. While the brain is still young it is able to fill in the gaps while it tries to repair itself. As you get older, it gets harder for the brain to patch the gaps cuz the condition is getting worse over time. Eventually the brain can no longer repair and fill in gaps and that's when the symptoms actually begin to show themselves
bro what the fuck do you mean that's not creepy. the fact that i could actually develop alzheimer's 5 years from now and not even know it for another 25 is existentially horrifying, dude.
@@StotterChannel yeah, i just turned 38 and i've got one side of the family where they usually don't start experiencing serious cognitive decline until their 90s, and the other side where my grandma died of lewy body dementia in her mid-70s, so i don't even _know_ how concerned i should be. i do hope that findings like this end up leading to a change in standards of care, though. if it became the norm for doctors to start recommending pre-emptive treatment around age 40 for anyone with a family history of Alzheimer's or other dementia, it could make a huge difference in patient outcomes.
2:04 I love learning about history. It always starts with questions, and when you say you don’t know something but not get embarrassed but excited you/we get smarter. So I’m glad people don’t get attacked for not knowing smt and or get attacked for knowing smt is not correct.

About the 28, just felt like listing a couple of... particularities of my body but it gets progressivelly weirder: 1- I still have some of my milk-tooth because the other ones didn't devellop; 2- I have hypermobility and It leads some of my joints to being extremily flexible and even made me break a record in a scape room once, but also means sometimes my limbs will dislocate radomly so I have to put them back at place manually; 3- my red blood count is just a lot naturally lower than most people, I had travelled all over the country so doctors can look for possible pathologies that can cause it or be caused by it, turns our its just how my body is made, it is so weird that even when I suffer something that should bruise it rarelly goes black and blue because there isn't enought red cells for it, still I have no problems with lack of nutrients or oxygen or cicatrization whatsoever; 4 - I can move my ears, and not the "fake movement" people do by moving the forehead muscles, i not only have the vestigial muscles humans used to have to move the ears, but I also can move them individually in slightly diferent directions at the same time and in different degrees, also, I learned with time to instictly move then towards sounds directions when startled, just like cats and dogs do; Bonus: I've met a girl whose natural body temperature is 38 degrees ceucius, thats a medium fever on most people
The fact i can drag my ass across the floor like a dog vs just wiping is amazing i dont do it at my house but you better not leave me unattended at yours
I wanted to share something I learned a long time ago, this was when I was still in high school from my history teacher who was an X-Veteran. We learned this while going over the subject of the Holocaust when all the religious people were being locked up and killed by the Nazis. Apparently if you try to eat a lot of anything solid after starving yourself for long enough your stomach can bleed profusely from the stress being put on it and you can die from this. As we know the stomach will start to digest everything to keep the body alive that includes the matter and nutrients of the stomach itself weakening it to wear it can become extremely fragile and disgusting anything solid can damage it from the movement the stomach does to digest food. A story he told us was that after WW2 ended and all the religious people that survived were saved and the military that saved them tried giving them food and water because of how Malnourished they were but literally 24 hours after they did this over 300+ religious people or something like that died afterwards. The military got confused about what was causing this so they did several autopsies on the dead bodies to discover the cause and they couldn't figure out what killed them till a few doctors and nurses pointed out that the people that check still has food in there stomach that was barely digested and the stomach was profusely bleeding because of how thin the wall lining was. So realizing what they did they immediately told the rest of there soldiers to stop feeding them cuz they were so fragile from there entrapment by the Nazis it was killing them of they tried to eat. They eventually figure a safer way to provide nutrients to the people by giving them nutrients through IV Bags or either blending up everything edible and high in nutrients into liquid mush to build up the body and organ mass up to its natural mass again only letting them eat small amounts at a time till they believe it was safe to give them more to eat and eventually allowing them to build up there body mass so they can safely consume solid food again.
Unsettling fact about your body, when you are about to die your brain plays sort of like a recap of your life, it does this to handle the unknown experience that you're going through at that point by comparing it to past experiences however, since your body hasn't died before it will never be able to find a past experience and just keeps looking though your memories until you're actually dead
2:07 Same thing with ny dad. Car rammed into his back (slow speed) and he kept having back pain for years after that but would just keep working and lifting heavy objects while working with cars. He said that the added pain of the lift would help ease the original pain (even though it was really just a distraction from the original pain obviously) but one day he got fed up and went to the doctor to get it checked out. They checked his muscles and he was extremely fit and got complimented on that, but when they checked his spine they were very confused as to how the heck he wasn't paralyzed. Four sections of the spinal cord at his lumbar region were slightly misaligned, which caused his muscles to squeeze and severely restrict those areas to be extremely thin. It was bad enough that the doctors warned him that there was a high chance he'd get paralyzed if he tried to get those disks realigned or something to that effect. I'm no medical expert at all, my only guess is that his "workout" all those years is what's holding his back together, as he's been starting to gradually get worse as he ages and can't work anymore. Like I said though, I really have no idea how he's still walking. The human body is fascinating...

The sensory capability of the tongue and gums is why babies often put things in their mouths. They are checking out the feeling. Babies' eyesight isn't great for awhile, so it's also an easy way to determine what something is.
Pretty late to say this, but story 13 does not equal to "free will is a lie". Yes, your neurons in your motor cortex actually fire before the thought of doing something actually reaches the conscious part of your brain, but what sets humanity apart from other animals is the ability to ACT upon certain thoughts and actions we're going to make (basically, animals act off instinct, we act off decisions much deeper than that), so, you ARE accountable for what y'all do fellas
I would like to add on to the corpus callosum: - people who have this have a specific name for this. It’s called split brain for obvious reasons - with the experiments, it solidified what we know about the right and left brains but far more. It probably doesn’t need to be said, but to clarify, neither side is dominant. Both work together and severing the corpus callosum showed us what happens when they can’t. I’m one test, they would flash a word on the screen to only one eye and ask the person to say what they read. Showing it to the right eye, the left brain could say what it saw be it the word cat or a picture. When shown to the left eye, the person had to say nothing because communication is something the left brain specializes in, not the right brain. The right brain could not, throughout the whole experiment, say what was on the screen because that’s not what it does. Even stranger, it did know what it was looking at. If the word ‘phone’ was flashed, person would say they saw nothing but their left hand could draw out the word the brain read. Cool, right? - the creepiest thing to come out of the experiments was the realization that both hemispheres of the brain have their own personalities. The command ‘pick your favorite color’ could be flashed to both eyes and the two hands would choose separate colors. There is a lot more I could say, but I would highly recommend looking up videos of these experiments to see what I’m talking about

sometimes i sleep with my eyes open. it’s actually embarrassing… because i had a habit of falling asleep in class. i can remember being asleep but also staring directly across some desks at some students taking notes. if those students are reading this, i’m sorry for giving you the zombie stare. now i make sure to get a coffee before class. most of the time, my open eyed sleeping immediately turns into sleep paralysis, because i start dreaming despite my eyes being open and essentially just hallucinate weird shit going on around me until it becomes weird or alarming enough to make me conscious while still paralyzed. most of the time it’s really silly; my eyes pick up strange shapes or lights in the room and tries to decipher them as people or animals, and for some reason does it very badly. sometimes these shapes or lights turn into people, which is usually scary, since they’re usually hooded figures or badly burnt dead looking people (i guess my brain takes the dark and uneven textures of the shadow in my room and tries to translate it into human skin?) and once into a giant moth, which was horrible, especially when the hallucination became tactile, but much of the times the “people” and animals are funny. once two round shapes in my closet turned into the eyes of a HUGE fluffy cat. another time, the reflective light of a decorative metal mug on my shelf turned into a tiny skeleton (his arms head and torso were the size of a guinea pig but his legs were as long as regular human legs). i haven’t had it happen in a while and am not exactly welcoming it back, but also, i wouldn’t be mad if it happened again, just to see what my brain might come up with. brains are fucking weird.
Thank you for increasing my fear of doctors and surgery to extreme levels. I already have panic attacks when I see a hospital and my bp goes up to 180/160 when in a doctor's office, now I will probably go into cardiac arrest when in a hospital.

Mental illness can be fought against through strength of will. Changing your lifestyle, making mantras, prayer, exercise, you have to attack it to change your mindset.
From what I've heard, you don't sleep with your eyes wide open but instead partially open which over time might dry out your eyes but it'll take a while.
5:55 i have dreams of conversations/stuff that is/are gonna become reality and when it does im like: "wait wait wait i saw this somewere" and just go with my day

Fun fact: Not long after was born, I was suffering from an extremely severe asthma attack and nearly died on the spot but my father managed to convince doctors to take me to a different, better hospital at the border of Tennessee and Georgia.

I suffered rather severe brain damage and doctors literally told my mum that I'd never be able to move and that I was effectively a vegetable is pretty surprising since I am able to move, talk and think just fine so it probably unsettles doctors as well when I walk in.

I am autistic. One day I tried to explain to my sister exactly what I remember, translating the images in my mind, and the sounds…. And some extent lighting and color. All of this goes into my memory and how I recall. When I told her that I have to make up logical bridge between memory snapshots. Even when it plays like a movie, it will jerk as if somebody had cut something out. Also, these memories are less reliable and I know that. I’m always reviewing my memories to see if I’ve added something to it that wasn’t there when it was first was re-created. For many of us that are autistic. It is a gift and something we treasure. It has taken me many years to learn what a gift I have. I was born in ‘47, diagnosed when I was 50s: for referance
Hello fellow tism haver
My autistic brain can parallel process things in a way most people can't. I can be playing a game on my phone and still hear every word of a conversation in the room. I might even respond to something, but I don't have to pause the game to do so unless I want to be more active in the conversation.

I can talk about story 22, since I live with it. It's just straight up children don't have coherent personalities. The personality merges at ~9 years old, however, if severe and/or repetitive trauma occurs, the personality cannot integrate, leading to different facets of personality known as alters (which, as I've heard, means alternate state of consciousness). Basically, the brain believes that due to trauma, it must keep the facets separate to survive.
Yeah plus a things like a personality that didn’t fully merge can also result in dissociation and basically temporary alters in a way while dissociating. If I remember correctly, an example of this would be Borderline Personality Disorder or BPD
@@LunarCatKan BPD is a great example! In fact it has a high percentage of overlap with DID. And you're entirely correct, BPD has a similar thing to alters in DID, just not as developed in a sense.
the thing is, while the literature specifies a thing or another, accounts from all over have determined that there really aren't any hard limits. in fact, that "coagulation" can, just by natural causes, have multiple "centers", leading to a non-DID manifestation of a phenomenon better known as plurality, one that isn't caused by trauma of any kind.
in fact, I feel it's somewhat close by to extra organs and whatnot, just at the mental level.
@@destrierofdark_ DID is caused by trauma. We are talking about DID here. DID without trauma *is not* DID.

My mother had a stroke while she was doing cardio karate(think tai-bo). One artery going to her brain just plugged up. The doctors said when they see stroke patients with this kind, they are corpses. Doing a scan of her brain they could see that the blood vessels on the side not cut off from blood stretched over to the side that was lacking. Which helped keep that part alive until her artery could be unplugged. They think because she was being active with the cardio at the time of the stroke it gave her vessels the ability to do that.
That's a miracle!

The epilepsy experiments thing is about a type of surgery corpus callosotomy - the condition itself is called "split brain" and is incredibly interesting to read about.

@ story 22, i have diagnosed dissociative identity disorder and it was pretty cool to see it included! i'm actually capable of full blown conversations with my alters (other personalities) and sometimes i see them as other people in the room. you'd be surprised how different we all are, i disagree with them constantly. it's not all fun and games though, it's the most severe form of c-ptsd and a lot of doctors refuse to believe me despite how many others have confirmed it
The human brain might just be one of the most complex and interesting things in the world. Our brains have two halves that analyze the world differently, and decades ago severing the connection between those two halves was done to "cure" seizures. What was discovered through those split-brained individuals was that those halves of the brain essentially have their own consciousness. The eyes are actually connected to a separate half of the brain each, so split-brained individuals can look at the same thing with each eye and reach two different conclusions.

Liver can indeed grow back. In fact it is the only organ in your body with regenerative capabilities. Usually during a liver transplant, from the donor's liver one lobe (a liver is bilobed) is given to the recipient. Both the lobes in both recipient and donor grow back in time to 2 complete livers. So before you decide to be an alcoholic destroying that organ completely, think twice :)
I have read that the one about the brain setting into motion commands before you make decisions is something like a veto system. The brain spits out an idea and if you choose to do it, it proceeds. If you do not, it gets blocked.
Now, of how true this is I am unsure.
This makes sense.
smooth muscles (think organs and veins/arteries) just do their thing.
they communicate with the brain to some small degree but the brain doesnt get to decide much.
skeletal muscles on the other hand communicate extensively and it goes both ways.
sometimes the skeletal muscles are like " hey brain i grabbed some random thing that smacked our left palm." and the brain is like "wait wut? what is its?" and you look at the baseball you accidentally caught
(instinctual reaction)
sometimes the skeletal muscles are like " hey brain i want to use 100% of my power and use our heel to itch our upper spine" and the brain is like "NO! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT 100% TEARS YOU APART? you can try with 35ish% but im telling the quadtriceps about this." and then you have a involuntary upper leg spasm (involuntary action)
sometimes skeletal muscles are like " im gunna grab this hot iron handle" and the brain be like "not so fast!" and you stop midway to grabbing the hot pot handle
(second guessing a voluntary action)
and sometimes the skeletal muscles ARENT suicidal or feral and be like "we grabbing the fridge handle" and brain be like "yeah, let me predict the process so the rest of us know" (voluntary action{typical})
so basically the same as what you said but the muscles have the first say.

This isn't a creepy fact, per se, but it's definitely not well-known outside of the medical field:
*The gallbladder is, arguably, more useless than the appendix!*
"But wait, doesn't the gallbladder make bile?" Nope! The _liver_ makes bile, then _stores_ it in the gallbladder. The gallbladder can concentrate the bile (which can lead to gall stones), and it will release the bile after you eat.
"But wait, that's a function! So how is the gallbladder more useless than an organ with no function?" This is a two-part answer:
1. You don't actually _need_ concentrated bile to digest food; it just helps to digest more fats. So, if you ever have your gallbladder removed, almost no part of your daily life will change (unless you eat a lot of fats -- in which case, going to the restroom becomes _very_ interesting...)
2. The appendix has TWO purposes, both of which deal with the immune system! The appendix contains something called MALT -- "mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue". MALT contains T cells, B cells, plasma cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages -- cells that are important to the body's immune response. If any MALT tissue detects an antigen (the part of pathogens that induces an immune response), then it can both attack the pathogen _and_ signal the rest of the body to be on the lookout for pathogens! The second, and simpler, purpose of the appendix is to act as a reservoir for regular intestinal bacteria, so in the event that your gut microbiome is disrupted, you can repopulate with the bacteria that is beneficial to your digestive health.
_Clearly,_ the appendix is much more important than we previously thought! The gallbladder, however, only has minor impacts to our day-to-day life and isn't _nearly_ as vital as we previously thought. So, it can be argued that the gallbladder is _more_ useless than the appendix!
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk lol
This is so interesting! Thankyou for sharing this knowledge
Wdym by going to the restroom becomes *very* interesting? Do you just get the shits?
@@charaxiphare TMI warning, but you _did_ ask, so...
Basically all the extra fats that you can't digest (due to not having concentrated bile) functionally turn into lube, and:
1. You have to take an absolutely MASSIVE shit within an hour or so from eating, and
2. The explosion of shit is almost like diarrhea, except it's oily not watery. You're gonna go through a lot more toilet paper than you thought was possible, and you're probably gonna need baby wipes to minimize any burning from all the excess wiping...

Eventually the brain can no longer repair and fill in gaps and that's when the symptoms actually begin to show themselves

i do hope that findings like this end up leading to a change in standards of care, though. if it became the norm for doctors to start recommending pre-emptive treatment around age 40 for anyone with a family history of Alzheimer's or other dementia, it could make a huge difference in patient outcomes.

2- I have hypermobility and It leads some of my joints to being extremily flexible and even made me break a record in a scape room once, but also means sometimes my limbs will dislocate radomly so I have to put them back at place manually;
3- my red blood count is just a lot naturally lower than most people, I had travelled all over the country so doctors can look for possible pathologies that can cause it or be caused by it, turns our its just how my body is made, it is so weird that even when I suffer something that should bruise it rarelly goes black and blue because there isn't enought red cells for it, still I have no problems with lack of nutrients or oxygen or cicatrization whatsoever;
4 - I can move my ears, and not the "fake movement" people do by moving the forehead muscles, i not only have the vestigial muscles humans used to have to move the ears, but I also can move them individually in slightly diferent directions at the same time and in different degrees, also, I learned with time to instictly move then towards sounds directions when startled, just like cats and dogs do;

I wanted to share something I learned a long time ago, this was when I was still in high school from my history teacher who was an X-Veteran. We learned this while going over the subject of the Holocaust when all the religious people were being locked up and killed by the Nazis.
Apparently if you try to eat a lot of anything solid after starving yourself for long enough your stomach can bleed profusely from the stress being put on it and you can die from this. As we know the stomach will start to digest everything to keep the body alive that includes the matter and nutrients of the stomach itself weakening it to wear it can become extremely fragile and disgusting anything solid can damage it from the movement the stomach does to digest food. A story he told us was that after WW2 ended and all the religious people that survived were saved and the military that saved them tried giving them food and water because of how Malnourished they were but literally 24 hours after they did this over 300+ religious people or something like that died afterwards. The military got confused about what was causing this so they did several autopsies on the dead bodies to discover the cause and they couldn't figure out what killed them till a few doctors and nurses pointed out that the people that check still has food in there stomach that was barely digested and the stomach was profusely bleeding because of how thin the wall lining was. So realizing what they did they immediately told the rest of there soldiers to stop feeding them cuz they were so fragile from there entrapment by the Nazis it was killing them of they tried to eat. They eventually figure a safer way to provide nutrients to the people by giving them nutrients through IV Bags or either blending up everything edible and high in nutrients into liquid mush to build up the body and organ mass up to its natural mass again only letting them eat small amounts at a time till they believe it was safe to give them more to eat and eventually allowing them to build up there body mass so they can safely consume solid food again.
Unsettling fact about your body, when you are about to die your brain plays sort of like a recap of your life, it does this to handle the unknown experience that you're going through at that point by comparing it to past experiences however, since your body hasn't died before it will never be able to find a past experience and just keeps looking though your memories until you're actually dead

Same thing with ny dad. Car rammed into his back (slow speed) and he kept having back pain for years after that but would just keep working and lifting heavy objects while working with cars. He said that the added pain of the lift would help ease the original pain (even though it was really just a distraction from the original pain obviously) but one day he got fed up and went to the doctor to get it checked out. They checked his muscles and he was extremely fit and got complimented on that, but when they checked his spine they were very confused as to how the heck he wasn't paralyzed. Four sections of the spinal cord at his lumbar region were slightly misaligned, which caused his muscles to squeeze and severely restrict those areas to be extremely thin. It was bad enough that the doctors warned him that there was a high chance he'd get paralyzed if he tried to get those disks realigned or something to that effect.
I'm no medical expert at all, my only guess is that his "workout" all those years is what's holding his back together, as he's been starting to gradually get worse as he ages and can't work anymore. Like I said though, I really have no idea how he's still walking. The human body is fascinating...

I would like to add on to the corpus callosum:
- people who have this have a specific name for this. It’s called split brain for obvious reasons
- with the experiments, it solidified what we know about the right and left brains but far more. It probably doesn’t need to be said, but to clarify, neither side is dominant. Both work together and severing the corpus callosum showed us what happens when they can’t.
I’m one test, they would flash a word on the screen to only one eye and ask the person to say what they read. Showing it to the right eye, the left brain could say what it saw be it the word cat or a picture. When shown to the left eye, the person had to say nothing because communication is something the left brain specializes in, not the right brain. The right brain could not, throughout the whole experiment, say what was on the screen because that’s not what it does. Even stranger, it did know what it was looking at. If the word ‘phone’ was flashed, person would say they saw nothing but their left hand could draw out the word the brain read. Cool, right?
- the creepiest thing to come out of the experiments was the realization that both hemispheres of the brain have their own personalities. The command ‘pick your favorite color’ could be flashed to both eyes and the two hands would choose separate colors.
There is a lot more I could say, but I would highly recommend looking up videos of these experiments to see what I’m talking about

sometimes i sleep with my eyes open. it’s actually embarrassing… because i had a habit of falling asleep in class. i can remember being asleep but also staring directly across some desks at some students taking notes. if those students are reading this, i’m sorry for giving you the zombie stare. now i make sure to get a coffee before class. most of the time, my open eyed sleeping immediately turns into sleep paralysis, because i start dreaming despite my eyes being open and essentially just hallucinate weird shit going on around me until it becomes weird or alarming enough to make me conscious while still paralyzed. most of the time it’s really silly; my eyes pick up strange shapes or lights in the room and tries to decipher them as people or animals, and for some reason does it very badly. sometimes these shapes or lights turn into people, which is usually scary, since they’re usually hooded figures or badly burnt dead looking people (i guess my brain takes the dark and uneven textures of the shadow in my room and tries to translate it into human skin?) and once into a giant moth, which was horrible, especially when the hallucination became tactile, but much of the times the “people” and animals are funny. once two round shapes in my closet turned into the eyes of a HUGE fluffy cat. another time, the reflective light of a decorative metal mug on my shelf turned into a tiny skeleton (his arms head and torso were the size of a guinea pig but his legs were as long as regular human legs). i haven’t had it happen in a while and am not exactly welcoming it back, but also, i wouldn’t be mad if it happened again, just to see what my brain might come up with. brains are fucking weird.
