The Reward Pathway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2017
- The Reward Pathway is an integral part of understanding human behavior. Everything we find pleasurable is due to the reward properties of this system. Discussion includes the relationship between reward and reinforcement (e.g. operant conditioning), the anatomy and functional neuroanatomy of the reward pathway, and applications of the reward pathway to drug addiction, gambling, investment decisions and consumer behaviors.

Best lecture for doctors. Simple yet in-depth. I hope you continue this great work.
Really appreciate a full indepth look. Soo many 2 min neuroscience videos I almost lost hope.
Thank you for putting this together. I have bronchitis while I am watching this. Solidarity, brother.
Very beautifully presented,such complex topic
Your lecture is the best. Thank you VERY MUCH! Hope you take a rest and take good care of your health.
Thanks so much for your lecture. I’m studying for my MCAT and your video on the reward system was the most thorough and clear. Great job! You’ve got a new subscriber.
Try alprazolam bro whenever you have anxiety or your body crave for meth just have alprazolam and stay calm it really helps
Goal completion (massive project) or as I can personally vouch, being a sports fan of an underdog team that results in win...can produce massive dopamine - something that should go hand-in-hand with investment/shopping. Love the concept of neuroeconomics!
best one ever watched in this topic
The best I've never seen before
Thanks!
Thank you so much very helpfull
Thank you for this lecture.
If dopamine neurons only fire at the time of presentation of a conditioned stimulus then how does that explain the feeling we get when we are actually enjoying the reward, (even if the reward was expected we seem to get an additional "kick" from it)
that's because at that time we get a release of other neurotransmitters than dopamine, like endorphins. Dopamine is NOT the "reward" neurotransmitter, but the "motivation" one.
Are the citations available for the graphics that are shown in the talk?
Also, does sobriety automatically "heal" these damaged receptors? If yes, why do withdrawal feel like a b***? Thanks!
Withdrawal is a temporary state during which your body and brain are adapting to the absence of the drug - the brain will take some time to recover and will occur after withdrawal has occurred.

Ok 👍
As someone who has had problems with cannabis (another drug that primarily activates dopamine receptors), I noticed cutting sugar automatically and magically reduces craving. Why is that? Or for that matter why does a little sugar raises insulin which in turn causes more craving of sugar?
I am pretty sure all these - reward, dopamine, sugar craving, willpower, discipline, drug highs, any other unexpected rewards- are all interlinked. Someone just hasn't been smart enough to crack and cure the addiction problem! :)
Sugar also activates the reward pathway so there may be some relationship. Cutting sugar is always a good idea regardless.
If you improve the quality of your figures, your lecture will be a lot more effective.
