Thank you for sharing such valuable insights and making complex neuroscience topics accessible. Your videos are a great resource for anyone interested in understanding the brain, and your explanations are both clear and engaging. Looking forward to more of your content!
I just came across your channel and am thoroughly impressed with the breadth of content you have. I intend to catch up on all these videos and look forward to more lectures like these in the future.
Thank you, some of this is bringing back memories of good times in biology classes. I was astounded by some of these details. The human body is truly amazing.❤❤
Excellent presentation and thank you for this It takes effort to do these videos What’s your take on infrared activation of mitochondria in the outdoor human ?
Thank you! I definitely enjoyed this. Your summary of these processes was succinct yet cohesive & thorough. It helped me, a lay person, to better understand some of these processes & dynamics. I am wondering how caffeine might promote damaging excitotoxity. Looking forward to the test of this series!
What is your personal regimen for fasting and exercise? Trying to figure out what is minimum effective dose of fasting? Does benefits increase if you go for longer fasting time duration?
I eat all my food within a 6-hour time window every day (noon - 6:00 pm). I have done this for more than 40 years. I typically do all my critical thinking in the mornings and exercise between 11:00 am and noon. In the afternoon I do tasks more routine tasks that do not require intense concentration. This has worked well for me.
Have you considered adding a short qualification to say slap on the description somewhere that would tell the audience why you are qualified to discuss the topics at hand. I tend to avoid sources (vids) that I can't easily decipher credibility. Like listing the PHD and areas of work. Just something I personally like.
@@szymonbaranowski8184 You're going to need to clarify the meaning behind "bubble of authorities" As to my statement, why do you care if I state something is my preference? All too often, youtube video presents fiction as fact.
i believe dogs don't descend from wolves, these are two different species that evolved in isolation for quite a long period, as genetics suggests so proper comparison would be with these ancestral dogs not other branch that evolved by default with own typical specifics and is equally far from their common ancestor neanderthals also had a bigger brains, so yes the specific way of acquiring food matters here but also we differ from them big way because of speech related genes it may be that offensive hunting requires much more visual input, physical precision and higher muscle mass but also lower body mass directly impacts brain mass, as comparing our males and females animals were bigger in previous era when bigger fauna dominated and so they still hold genes and evolutionary library related to it as well there is a much simpler rule that big herd doesn't use brains that much... as it's self organisation takes over individual small group consideration if you can brute force with numbers you don't need any intricate strategy... and you don't need to watch your back as losses on edges of controlled territory simply can be ignored while keeping core devolved to save energy on unused systems while they compete much different way f.e. simping for humans for food.. or eating what easily multiplied because of invention of farming thank you for the great presentation!
i appreciat the attemp... but the fist slide is utter nonsense. How can you think/write that the sun is the PROXIMAL source of energy? The proximal source = the surce that is closer/closest to the bain is the liver which prepares the glucose and ketone bodies. Also, the slide shows that you do not understand evolution. The whole theater of evolution is about getting rid of developmental constraints, in other words, from particular physics and particular chemistry, and particular biological environment, and if not possible, to render particularly strong influences back into the average. Hence generalists dominate this world: humans, rats, ants. so do yourself a favor and remove that first slide

I really really like the graphics you use during this video. You also present the information very well. Keep making these!

Outstanding as always! thank you!!
Amazing stuff 🔥
Great topic Mark. Can't wait to dive into this series!

wow you love staying in a bubble of authorities

Have you thought of googling "Mark Mattson"?
thanks Jesse. Good idea.
@@brainponderingswithmarkmat648 Thank you, I appreciate you took the time to acknowledge. Love this type of content.
i believe dogs don't descend from wolves, these are two different species that evolved in isolation for quite a long period, as genetics suggests
so proper comparison would be with these ancestral dogs not other branch that evolved by default with own typical specifics and is equally far from their common ancestor
neanderthals also had a bigger brains,
so yes the specific way of acquiring food matters here
but also we differ from them big way because of speech related genes
it may be that offensive hunting requires much more visual input, physical precision and higher muscle mass but also
lower body mass directly impacts brain mass, as comparing our males and females
animals were bigger in previous era when bigger fauna dominated and so they still hold genes and evolutionary library related to it
as well there is a much simpler rule that big herd doesn't use brains that much... as it's self organisation takes over individual small group consideration
if you can brute force with numbers you don't need any intricate strategy... and you don't need to watch your back as losses on edges of controlled territory simply can be ignored while keeping core devolved to save energy on unused systems while they compete much different way f.e. simping for humans for food..
or eating what easily multiplied because of invention of farming
thank you for the great presentation!

Thermodynamics has entered the chat
Yes, I meant to say that the sun is the DISTAL or initial source of energy. Thanks
i think infrared from sun is closer as it penetrates scull directly... and is utilised by mitochondria for energy production..
