It’s 7am, my test is at 10am I am literally crying, real tears. I’ve been studying this for weeks and been confused for weeks. You just took everything I thought I knew and made it all make sense
im not saying they're good to take, I'm just saying at least they aren't like heroin which no one takes just once. you can try most drugs one night, have a great time or a horrible one, and you can still walk away from it.
kefkapalazzo1 yeah, i get that and my above comment wasn't meant to come across as really serious. i think it's just worth pointing out that there are many drugs besides the few you mentioned that can be massively harmful or lethal upon first consumption,though some may be not all that well known.
I used to hate these videos back in high school because my teacher used to show these instead of slowly introducing and teaching the topic, which made every student feel overwhelmed and stressed. Now that I’m in college, these are so great for reviewing material because they go super in-depth and explain things very well! Great work!
I realize most people would have trouble understanding due to how fast he is talking, but oh my god. As someone Hard of Hearing, it makes me SO SO SO SO SO happy to see that there are captions. They were incredibly helpful, there's almost never captions in the videos my teachers show their classes. Thank you so much.
High school teachers don't get the luxury of doing a lecture when they feel psyched up, doing retakes or cuts to keep the action moving, or any of that movie magic. They get one shot at a great performance.
It's hard to maintain your enthusiasm every day for decades when half your audience is only in the room because they're legally required to be in school every day, and would rather experience physical pain than listen to you speak one more sentence about neurotransmitters. All that indifference (or outright malice) can wear down one's enthusiasm for teaching very quickly.
Takes teachers at my school 2-4 hours to teach this.....and we get bored...you did it in 10 mins and I loved every second...you guys help so many people through exams so please please don't stop doing what you're doing. Thank you so much x
When you're crash coursing on CrashCourse 1.5 hours until your mid term. Thank you sooooo much for all the effort you put into making these videos. They're the BEST review out there for students!
I'm a pre-nursing student in anatomy 1. I use to hate his videos because he talk so fast but now I can slow down his videos so I definitely understand what he is saying. He is not boring with his videos and the video animation help with visualization of the concept. Well I'm hoping part 1-3 helps me on my exam Monday because my professor don't nor do his study guides 😂😂.
malhar nagori Right? Some of the less science-oriented minds behind the scenes were a little blown away by how effective that analogy is at communicating the general idea. We love our writing team! -Nicole
BIG Thanks for this crash course on synapses and neurotransmitters. The information is so easy to retain in the matter in which it is delivered. You're doing an awesome job relaying this data! These brief classes give an entire new outlook on science and its major role in life. Thanks B
If you have the necessary time and resources, it would be a great idea to make crash courses about neuroscience or neuroanatomy :) I think a lot of people would enjoy it!

My physiology professor is sooooo smart and has a way of explaining simple concepts with really annoying science jargon and beats around the bush, resulting in mass confusion. I am so happy these videos exist. it took her 3 hours today to explain this btw....
This basically summed up an entire chapter in my bio book, thanks! Also, Hank talks unbelievably fast. I'm sitting here still processing the texting analogy and he's talking about not taking cocaine :')
This guy is such an amazing teacher. The organization and quality of these videos is insane. He compresses whole lectures in a few minutes of video Thank you so much honestly
This was one of my favorite parts of studying biology in high school. I always found it fascinating and graduated high school with the topic of how the brain works for my AP class
This is awesome!!!! I'm in college studying the fundamentals of the nervous system and this is helping me immensely in grasping a lot of the concepts. I wish I could download these videos.
We have biomedical signal processing in our engineering. Your videos have helped me to get a clear understanding of the subject. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks a lot!!
"...everyone just got maxed out and exhausted and turned off their phones for good...which would be death." If this isn't today's techno-savvy generation in a nutshell, I don't know what is. XD
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! this video was so helpful!! When I first started the nervous system, I wanted to throw my books out the window, but these videos are awesome!! I now understand everything! THANK YOU!
If my A&P prof. had us watch these videos before she had us start taking notes for 2 hours... it would all make A LOT more sense! Thank God for these videos!
During this shelter-in-place thing my biopsych teacher isn't even trying but simply linking us to a bunch of crash courses. Thank you, for creating these. You're greatly appreciated by many students (and others) who have teachers that don't want to try.
When Hank talks about this kinda stuff i find it hard to believe humans happened and evolved by chance. It makes it so hard to believe we weren't designed in this certain way. I don't mind if people disagree, that's just my thought. I just think we and the universe are just too complex to have happened by chance.
+Brooke Dendiu I disagree. We started off very simple, and BECAUSE things happened by chance we are complex; imagine you are trying to create a robot, but you cannot decide exactly what materials to use and how to make it; everything happens by chance and the way the robot adapts to the environment over billions of years. Surely the robot would become very complex? This is the same for humans.
+Veneta Beqiri dude you've just answered your self lol, so you're giving us an example of what if WE were trying to create a robot and we started very simple then got complex right? That's amazing but hey that simple robot didn't create it self did it? I won't say anymore I hope this question answer you
+Veneta Beqiri I agree. Besides even if we weren't created by chance its more unlikely were were created by a (usu) white man,who's "Perfect",speaks English, Floats in the sky, and lives in a place unlike earth. Sounds more like an alien to me. Just my opinion, I respect all religions. Peace 😃✌
+Milo curry I don't think God, I'm assuming you're referring to, is a white American man who speaks english but to each their own to speculate :) I mean to me it makes more sense that we were designed than we just fell into place by chance. Humans and life/ existence as a whole is so complex for me, personally, to think it just happened by chance. That's all, not really bringing God or religion into it but i totally respect if you don't agree. Have a good day!
Thank you so so much!!! I learned way more about the nervous system than I needed to learn for my test, but I have absolutely no regrets. Your videos are absolutely awesome!
Excellent job crash course team! I've never seen neural processes described so effectively and succinctly. Love your videos! Keep making the world more awesome!
Hey guys? Is there any way that you could do a religious studies course please? I understand if this couldn't happen due to insane comments and flamewars, but even a mini series would be fantastic. I just really want an unbiased, objective course on the major religions, beliefs, practices, etc. It's difficult to find info on this without being crushed with bias. Thank you so much, I love you guys!
bob dash I never meant John Greene was going to lecture "there is no God", but rather about inconvenient facts, such as, the poor historicity of Moses and the Exodus, the tablets of ugarit in Syria, the pagan origins of Judaism, the pagan elements in Christianity (Christmas and Easter), and the council of nicea. I just was saying that an unbiased review of the religions will be greatly inconvenient for the religions themselves
Kevin Lopez OK, i see what you mean and i agree to some extent. There are a lot of double standards and inconsistencies in modern Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Those are the religions that tend to go crazy when someone contradicts there canon, regardless of accuracy or basic human morality. This criticism is coming from a open minded Christian. The pagan thing is the one of the most ignored issues in major monotheistic religions.
As someone who's studied this stuff years ago, watching this brought back some good old fascination with the human body. As someone with heavy interest in futurology, evolution, social media, and philosophy, it makes me perceive this moment in our history with extreme awe. Social media is an extension of this collective system of compartmentalised intercommunication. When we share and like things on facebook, or upvote or downvote things on Reddit, we're acting like a sort of neuron in a global brain. It's as if our chemical behaviours are outsourcing themselves into our environment. It's a great example of a fractal property of our universe, and it's interesting to think about why it's happening and where it might be headed. I think we can learn a lot from studying nature and use it to enhance our lives and wellbeing through biomimicry. It would surely be an interesting topic to talk about with like-minded intellectuals and get a nice brain storming sesh going :)
Hank (and CrashCourse), it's thanks to you that I became motivated and started making my own videos (in fact, I uploaded my first videos only last week!) in the hopes that I can help more people aspire to look at the world through a Scientific perspective. And if anyone here is interested in watching other science-based videos, please give my channel a try! I strive to make my videos as visually appealing as possible, and as a grad student who is trying to put himself through school while also supporting his parents, your support and viewership would be much appreciated! Thank you guys :D
These videos are so helpful, I can’t believe I didn’t find this until the night before my test! My professor explained everything separately and never put it all together. Thank you so much.
omg soo lucky that this series of crash course about the nervous system has been uploaded recently, because I'll be tested on this subject next week! Thank you everyone from crash course!
Because SSRIs work on inhibiting the uptake of serotonin, not dopamine (the "pleasure" neurotransmitter) which cocaine inhibits the uptake of, there's no "high" from SSRIs that you come to crave. But, as with cocaine, the SSRIs may interfere with the brains natural production of neurotransmitters (serotonin in the case of SSRIs and dopamine in the case of cocaine), so you must taper off them slowly as your brain readjusts.
Cody Nault In the very long term they probably would, but they also probably have a different chemical structure so as not to be as effective an inhibitor as cocaine allowing for a more controlled usage. Then there is controlling how much of the drug you take. Generally prescription drugs that alter neurochemistry should be taken at as low a dosage as possible while still being effective in order to stave off the negative health effects for as long as possible.Plus, if you stop taking the drug, or switch to a drug that acts on your brain differently, the specific areas affected buy the first drug will recover, to a point, back towards that brains baseline.This is also why most doctors will have multiple treatment options, like exercise and group therapy, or art therapy. So the drug, hopefully, is a supplement to other treatments.Wow, that went on for a while. Sorry about that, hope it helped : )
4 year antidepressant user here... they do have long term negative effects... Had to quit them at some point. My memory is not what it used to be. I can no longer seem to be able to stay awake at will anymore, I feel emotions with much less intensity now... just to name a few... It's best to search for a more organic solution in my opinion.
Shopenhauer2 Are...are you sure thats not a relapse in depression? cos you know you cant just come off antidepressants, you have replace their effect with other coping strategies. (easy to say, hard to do, just something to consider maybe?)
just want to take this opportunity to say thank you to crash course and everyone who is involved in making it. I love these videos and how they are edited, the music, HANK, everything! :D so thanks guys, so much!
When I am older and no longer poor I am going to donate to CrashCourse on the regular, this is such an amazing resource and I want to support that
Good for you.
Any dollar counts. Don’t wait till later, most people procrastinate time passes and look back 20 years have passed. Do it now. God bless.

It’s 7am, my test is at 10am
I am literally crying, real tears. I’ve been studying this for weeks and been confused for weeks. You just took everything I thought I knew and made it all make sense
"Take cocane, for example. Don't take cocaine."
This cracks me every time
GreenOrangeOxygen Don't take crack
***** don't take heroin or meth. most other things are good to try just once though
kefkapalazzo1 like ketamine, pcp or angel's trumpets? kids, don't listen to this
im not saying they're good to take, I'm just saying at least they aren't like heroin which no one takes just once. you can try most drugs one night, have a great time or a horrible one, and you can still walk away from it.
kefkapalazzo1 yeah, i get that and my above comment wasn't meant to come across as really serious. i think it's just worth pointing out that there are many drugs besides the few you mentioned that can be massively harmful or lethal upon first consumption,though some may be not all that well known.
I love that he talks fast. I can quickly take in much more information and he keeps me from getting bored.
Plus you can rewind as much as you want !
and they have captions
I also hhhhh
you know, ugh... you can speed up the slow talkers...

P.S. the neurotransmiters were too cute.
Anamika Joshi I agree
agreed. With both statements
Anamika Joshi little late, but I have mine tomorrow 😂
If only high school teachers would be that exciting, and enthusiastic about the topic they teach...
ikr, my teacher explained things perfectly but he was like: "blah blah Ca+ goes here Na go here understand? good"
High school teachers don't get the luxury of doing a lecture when they feel psyched up, doing retakes or cuts to keep the action moving, or any of that movie magic. They get one shot at a great performance.
My teachers aren’t great at connecting to students except for my science teacher. she is like him😃😃😃
Sarcastically enthusiastic.
It's hard to maintain your enthusiasm every day for decades when half your audience is only in the room because they're legally required to be in school every day, and would rather experience physical pain than listen to you speak one more sentence about neurotransmitters. All that indifference (or outright malice) can wear down one's enthusiasm for teaching very quickly.

this reminded me of an astronomy professor that used to say, "if you look at the sun, don't look at the sun"
When you're crash coursing on CrashCourse 1.5 hours until your mid term. Thank you sooooo much for all the effort you put into making these videos. They're the BEST review out there for students!
this helped me more then my professor did
than* Your English professor failed you.
I am a nursing student and you have helped me understand how the body works so well. Thank you for making such awesome videos

I have my final Psychology exam tomorrow. This counts as studying.
How did it go?
Two years later but same lol
Lol, same here
mine is in 20 days lol

I have a neurophysiology exam tomorrow, this set of episodes really helped reinforce the information I'm being tested on. Bravo 👏🏻
You are the only reason I got an A+ in A&P, thank you Hank!!
Just thought I’d throw I my two cents in and say, “you guys do one hell of Good job, putting this whole thing together”. ThankYou.

So, why don't depression medications like SSRI's have the same long term negative health effects as another reuptake inhibitor like cocaine?
You assume they don't...
Because SSRIs work on inhibiting the uptake of serotonin, not dopamine (the "pleasure" neurotransmitter) which cocaine inhibits the uptake of, there's no "high" from SSRIs that you come to crave.

I can no longer seem to be able to stay awake at will anymore, I feel emotions with much less intensity now... just to name a few... It's best to search for a more organic solution in my opinion.
