    At 2:16 the graphic shows that adult humans have 216 bones, when in fact, they have 206. Apparently, our math wasn’t so good 5 years ago. Thank you to the commenters who pointed this out!

      I have to correct you on something. I personally have a memory from back when i was 1 1/2 to two-ish . So it does happen. I on the other hand can not remember but like 10 things max from age 5 - 9 Example - the watching cartoons, my brothers arguing one saying the other was cheating at Yugioh the card game. I was born with brain damage so my theory is that instead of forgetting all of my infinity i forgot most of those year.

    As a fresh newborn, my eldest neice, stopped crying when her Dad (my brother) began to talk to her. He has a deep 'commanding' voice and talked to her while she was in-vitro. Also, if our kids are any indication, the become 'smart' from you talking (not gibberish 'baby' talk) to them. No shade towards music...but READ to your kids. When I worked as a teacher, it was obvious which students were read to as youngsters. Build that brain!💜

    Michael made a common mistake; "jaundice" comes from the French word "jaune" which means yellow, but he said "jeune" which means young. Babies with jaundice are both of those, though.

    • @Miss_Dizzy
      @Miss_Dizzy 4 роки тому +4

      @Justin Craig I do. I was similarly bothered by the mispronunciation. It's not unusual for anyone pronouncing a word they are not familiar with to make mistakes but it can dramatically alter the meaning. If you aren't comfortable with some nuanced differences for example, in french, you might mean to say "merci beaucoup" (basically "thank you very much") which sounds like mehrsee bohcoo (the greatest phonetic typing you've ever seen, no doubt) but instead what you'll say could sound like "merci beau cul" if you're trying too hard to sound french (english doesn't really have any words that sound like that, although many other languages do) and this would translate to "thanks, nice ass"
      That's a pretty significant alteration of meaning off of just a slight mispronunciation. Jeune vs jaune, young vs yellow, also pretty big difference.

    side note on Jaundice vs. staring at a yellow bird; Part of the treatment in hospitals is phototherapy - using light to eliminate bilirubin. so taking the baby outdoor into the sunlight to "stare at a bird" actually could have helped with the jaundice :)

      My youngest was jaundiced enough that he had to spend time u see the "bili" lights at the hospital. When he was released, the Dr. said to take him outside and have him lay on a blanket in semi shade, so the light could continue to break down the bilirubin.

    I was born a bit prematurely and was abnormally yellow when born, so the doctors did a bunch of blood tests and me and my mom had to stay at the hospital longer than intended. When all the results for the blood tests came, it turned out everything was fine and they just went "idk, I guess it's just yellow then" and let me and my mom go home.

    Regarding childhood amnesia: about 15 years ago, I visited the city where I was born. My parents moved out before my second birthday and we never returned. And yet, when I arrived in the neighborhood where we lived, I recognized the place at some level. It was not the city as a whole that triggered this response, though. Just two specific blocks in the whole city.

    childhood amnesia doesn't happen to most of my family. my mother and grandmother retained some memories from age 2, and awareness from age 3. I remember some specific things that happened from before I could walk, but it's more that I can remember 'being' a baby. I remember how I felt and thought. it is almost identical to drunkenness.

    At almost 30 years old, the oldest memory I have is of just before 4 years old, leaving the hospital after a major surgery. It's very vague, but there's one specific thing that anchors that memory: a toy.
    I had a blue pontoon-helicopter (the kind designed to be able to land on water) and it was my favorite thing. It was with me in the hospital while I was recovering. And it got left behind. It was replaced with a red sea-plane toy, but that distinction is very clear even 27 years later.

Even back then, its as if my memories started happening at a certain point of my development and I was essentially just a walking & unconscious meat-sack until I was suddenly granted sentience in the middle of the day.

It's in the 1-2 years range where things started getting stored, including vivid details like entire conversations with my parents or the layout of our old house.

      I found one part of the memory video clip misleading. The narrator said "Not all of your memories are kept in the hippocampus". None of them are "kept" there. That is not the function of the hippocampus. Its function is what was stated earlier in the video segment; to form new memories. The neurons in the hippocampus are creating a chemical breadcrumb trail in our brain, so we can later retrieve the memory. If these neurons are not active during learning, the memory is not encoded (created). This is why Alzheimer's has the effect it does. The hippocampus is one of the first brain structures to be ravaged by the disease. Thus, new memory formation is greatly impacted.

      I actually have memories of small conversations
      I remember very clearly standing in my cot when i was 1 or 2 with my hands on the fence while my dad freaked me out by saying the air conditioner was a monster (which it did kinda). My mom was in the bedroom's bathroom and was washing her hair, so she yelled for my dad to stop teasing me. The odd thing is, these memories are heavily associated with other senses. I remember the scent of shampoo in the air, the sound of a blow dryer, the look of the blue shadows when they contrasted the warm yellow light in the bathroom.

    I remember wearing diapers and crawling around and being carried all the time.
    My adult son remembers an odd medical thing that happened to him at age 2, he even remembers that he thought it was strange but he wasn't scared.
    He has always been an extraordinarily calm human, ever since the womb. But one morning, at about 25 months old, he woke up but just couldn't walk. His legs simply didn't work. He could feel them but couldn't get them to walk. I was freaking out, of course, but this calm kid just thought it was odd and he totally remembers that day!
    Doctors told us it was a strange medical mystery that still hadn't been solved (maybe has by now?) that sometimes happens to toddlers, boys more often than girls, and it just goes away with about 24 hours. At the time, they were clueless about it, and it did go away, just as predicted. I wonder if that thing has ever been solved. 🤔

My son did have jaundice though. He was in the NICU already though, so they just put the blue light around him for one day, and then he was all good.

    I actually DO remember my first birthday party, and I have several other vivid memories before I started kindergarten. I remember both weddings in which I was a flower girl. I remember the one time my biological father tried to take me home with him and his new wife for the night, and I remember going home at two a.m. I remember smearing gold shoe polish on all the furniture in the house as high as I could reach when I was two. I remember sitting in a playpen at my Mom's work when I was two. I remember moving three times before I was four. I remember drinking a sip of paint thinner I thought was water when I was five. I remember when my mother left to go back to work in a distant city without telling me goodbye, even though she could hear me yelling goodbye and crying for her as she walked away. I remember my one day in preschool when I was three. I remember my first swimming lessons when I was four. I remember getting my head bounced a few times in an automatic grocery store door when I was three. I remember swinging on a table at my great-grandfather's birthday party and pulling it over on myself when I was four. I remember lying in my crib and looking at my butterfly mobile early in the morning, and I remember my grandmother peeking over the edge of the crib to see if I was awake and then climbing into her arms. I feel lucky to have a TON of memories before I turned five.

    When my sister had her baby, she and I (I'm a middle aged female, and she's a bit younger) could both strongly smell the new baby smell, but our senior mother and father could not. In fact, they didn't even believe my sister could smell anything about the baby until I confirmed that it was permeating the whole house from the day she brought her home. This was a month after the baby was born, due to complications and an extended hospital stay, so I have doubts that it's from a substance left on the baby from the birthing process. She'd been washed several times. We thought it was strange that our mom couldn't smell it considering she's a super-smeller. Her sense of smell is so strong that mundane scents can often irritate her or make her feel sick. We wondered if our parents' inability to smell the baby had to do with age and possibly gender. Maybe only women in the reproductive phase are able to detect it? I have no children of my own, as I lack any sort of maternal instinct, and our mother is quite doting as a grandmother, so it would seem to be something more physical, not psychological
