My mother had surgery across that area in the 60's. After the surgery, her incision would leak every time she ate. Her doctors called it "her imagination ", and looked disdainfully at her every time she reported it. Until she died in 1997, every time she ate, she'd wipe her neck and say, "there goes my imagination!". This post is for you, Mom!💡❤
My grandpa had surgery on his jaw/cheek/etc by his ear. After he was healed, where his sideburns would be would salivate while he was eating. It was wild. The doctors told him it's wasn't saliva because we supposedly didn't have salivary glands in that area. This makes so much sense.

As someone who is both a neuroscience/genetics geek and a sufferer of generalized anxiety disorder, I've always been highly interested in the neurological basis of mental disorders. I always thought it was hyperactivity of the amygdala that caused anxiety, so when I saw this video saying it was hyperactivity of the sgACC, my curiosity was piqued. I looked into some neuroanatomy and wouldn't you know it, the sgACC feeds directly into the amygdala. As an input! To borrow a term from my actual career as a software developer, this seems to suggest that anxiety disorders -- or at least GAD -- might be a case of GIGO: Garbage In, Garbage Out. In other words, the amygdala isn't the problem, it's just getting garbage input from the sgACC. Now I feel bad... all these years I've been angry at my amygdala, and the poor thing was trying its best and just working with bad data!
Actually, our brains are just neural networks built on some biological signal processor architecture. A formal mathematical approach in the field of “explainable AI” might be general enough for us to use in psychology (lmao).
@Afrodisiac It could be simple in the concepts of the universe, we just don't know where to even start. What we tend to consider as simple tends to be activities that we're just used to doing or have trained ourselves to do to the point where we gain confidence for the next time we deal with said problem. Figuring out how to make computers wasn't simple back in the day, but now we pump out smart devices like water. Finding out how the brain truly works could end up becoming like this, where once we truly find out, there's no turning back, and then progress only gets faster from there on out. Just a thought.
@@turtle_goddess9522 TL;DR: The amygdala processes fear, so anxiety is often linked to an overactive amygdala. The sgACC gives the amygdala some of its data to work with. So this research suggests that anxiety is a result of the sgACC giving the amygdala incorrect (hyperactive) data rather than a direct problem with amygdala itself. It's like if someone tells you there's a serial killer around the corner and you run away, only to find out that it was just a cat there. The problem isn't that YOU were chicken, it's that someone gave you bad information about how scary the situation was.

They found a muscle in the face a decade or so ago that has been missed for 500 years. They missed it because of the way centuries of doctors had been taught to open up the face because of the impediment of connective tissues. They found the muscle using what was essentially a bandsaw instead of a scalpel. Cutting into the body is hard and anatomist follow the same paths through tissues generation after generation.
I'm studying voice performance. My professor was very excited about this and everyone in my voice studio studying under that professor says that the discovery has lead to breakthroughs in our lessons, me included.
@@NadDew (Not a pro singer) Dry throat and trouble swallowing are problems for anyone trying to sing. Knowing this gland is critical for preventing that may affect how you deal with it. Just taking a drink of water won't last long enough for a full song.
@@josephcrespo7822 Classical singers (meaning those of us like OP who study voice in the context of classical music performance) usually take at least one course in which we study the anatomy and physiology of singing. Our teachers who have this knowledge teach us how to properly use our bodies down to the finest detail as well as avoid injury - the body is a singer’s instrument. Opera singers never use microphones or other artificial amplification, and have careers spanning actual decades. It isn’t all volume at all - we use the principles of acoustics to do that. Yes, acoustics as in the physics of sound! It’s actually a very involved process requiring many years of study to understand and develop such an intimate understanding of one’s body, and learn to control and manipulate the necessary parts to achieve this feat. Placement of resonance in the cavities of the head, shape of the mouth, position of the tongue, breath control - its kind of a lot! If those glands were affecting the shape of the pharyngeal space it could have a profound effect on the sound produced with the voice, because it alters the shape of and passage of air through that resonant space. A singer who doesn’t know about that might develop a bad habit that could at the least keep them from producing the needed resonance, and at worst cause damage to the body. Say those glands are getting in the way of the air stream because of illness or theirs are just a bit larger than most - a young singer might compensate by forcing too much air through the larynx, or over-lift the soft palate. It becomes a waste of energy, but also can cause muscle tension leading to injuries, or strain and overwork the vocal folds which can lead to development of scarring and nodules. Oh yeah, and we do all this while studying the phonetics of foreign languages so we don’t sound like the guys in Inglourious Basterds attempting to speak Italian while attempting to act out a dramatic story.
Since they're draped around the ear canal, that explains why your hearing gets altered when they are swollen, due to sickness, infection, allergies, food sensitivities, drugs, chemicals, whatever. They will narrow the hearing tube, which alters the sounds that you hear.
So this might sound kinda sus but i actually kinda had a feeling this was already a thing just because when i eat some really strong tasting food like sour tastes, i actually get a bit of pain in that area when my mouth tries to salivate too quickly, so its actually super interesting to hear about this study!
They REALLY need a tracer for endometriosis. Right now, the only way to tell for sure if somebody has endometriosis is to open up their abdominal cavity and LOOK. It's medieval. EDIT: I googled it, and it looks like scientists are working on developing one!
I think I kinda have "free floating anxiety". But it could also be just that stuff I did not dealt with, creates a sort of "background anxiety". Similar to how there is cosmic background radiation, there is this anxiety.
I struggle daily with anxiety, and yet I had no idea that free floating anxiety was a thing! Thank you guys so much for the awesome educational content, you've helped me immensely.
As someone who suffers from anxiety with depressive qualities, I googled where the sgacc was located in the brain. I find it funny that when I know I am having anxiety I can physically feel the anxiety/depression rolling down my head like someone is pulled a blind down from the top of my head across my forehead and back in towards the amygdala. Makes me wonder if the other parts of the brain are sending the signals down to the sgac and on to the amygdala and I'm more sensitive than others and can actually feel it going on......
I’m autistic and I believe I have very sensitive interoception and I can feel stuff like that too! When I have anxiety or I’m getting pms I swear I can literally feel the hormones buzzing around in my brain! It’s such a weird sensation because I’m experiencing certain moods but I’m extremely aware of this physical sensation of the emotional hormones (or menstrual hormones) buzzing through my brain and my body and so it feels almost separate to me. Like they’re not /my/ emotions they’re just something that’s happening to me physically in my brain!
Two minutes of eye contact with a cat sounds lovely but that's about the only thing I can think of that uses extended eye contact and blinking while being stared at as a sign of affection.
2 minutes marmoset-time has gotta be equivalent to like 3 hrs human-time. Add in eye contact from the impossibly-large ogre, and I bet there was lots of pooping had. Poor, twitchy little goblins. 😕 But hopefully their stressful experience will ultimately help lots of ppl.
I hope so. After a great 40 years, career, and marriage, I had an accident. After the surgery, meds, and treatment, I emerged with anxiety and depression so severe that I lost my job, relationships, and most of what's meaningful in life. What we're going through in COVID is how I've been ever since. Much as I want answers and a treatment, I don't want it at the cost of these innocent creatures.
Weirdly, I had never heard the term, "free floating anxiety". I've had it in crippling life destroying fashion for over 30 years. Every site and discussion about anxiety seems to discuss automatic thoughts and reasons which have no application to me. I bet I'd be a perfect test subject for this over activity theory.
2:38 I took a Covid-19 test after having a day of 40 C fever in July. The test was after the fever dropped the next day and it was negative. The stick irritated so much that water started to leak instantly from that side eye.
As someone who used to have chronic dry-mouth due to a sleep medication, it is really awful and does, in fact, negatively impact one's quality of life.
*I hope more research has surfaced since this video on the anxiety brain stuff. As a person who’s been a Hypochondriac since I was 5, and I’m now 21. It’s not fun overreacting to every small thing and having full blown panic attacks when I’m in no REAL danger. My panicking can get so bad it makes my entire body hurt along with my mind just constantly racing. If they can find a way to deal with panic disorders/depression/OCD disorders and so on that would do wonders for some of us who’s fears/emotions are so debilitating it makes us unable to live our daily lives without overthinking and stressing everything.*
I've really enjoyed SciShow since I started watching it. But, Hank, one of the things I really pike about you is that in all the SciShows I've watched, literally hundreds, you've only mentioned your authorship a few times? Two? I think that's so neat. Know what else is neat? You're a GREAT writer Mr. Green! Keep it up please, all of you.
It would have been nice to get a full 3D image of the complete four sets of salivary glands to better grasp their relative positions and maybe figure part of their dynamic :-o
I didn't realize that pair of glands hadn't been formally described. I can distinctly feel those get going along with the rest whenever I get tingle or almost pain from that sort of "mouth wake-up" feeling
I think I have too! I’m not a scientist and I don’t claim to understand any of this, but I’ve always felt something in between my brain and my nasal airway when I had anxiety. It felt like a capsule that had a bit of liquid in it. Again, I’m not a scientist. This is just my subjective experience.
I had one under my jaw removed last year after 40 years of being blocked on and off , in the end becoming infected that warranted surgery. im so glad its gone !!
yo as someone with chronic dry mouth due to my anxiety meds this whole episode makes me feel more optimistic. also I've never heard the term "free-floating anxiety" before but holy heck that describes exactly what it feels like to me - thanks for helping me put that into words ❤
This is like the third time in the past 5 years they discovered a new organ. I remember back in 2015ish, they found a new part of the eye called Dua's Layer. And a few years back they discovered the mesentery, which holds your intestines and other abdominal organs together. Additionally they only just realized that the appendix might have an important role in digestion (providing a home for your gut Flora in the event of them getting flushed out). Just got to keep looking!
@@megmenz3325 It’s definitely not worked well in the past lol Edit: just occurred to me that you might have meant this as a joke. I’m still leaving my comment up though because people on the internet seriously believe in the weirdest things
@@raerohan4241 it was a joke lol I think we learned a hard lesson about fixing the brain through taking out parts of it. Only in very rare circumstances does it actually work
Already happened (sort of). There is a set of blood vessels on the underside of each foot. They act as an auxiliary heart to pump blood from the legs back up into the body as you walk.
@@EdwinWiles so... what happens if you lose your feet? Are the wheelchair bound just screwed on this one? Or is it only necessary if you have the additional body mass?
Since it's possible - and in fact quite common - to have both anxiety and depression at the same time, I doubt underactivation could be a significant trigger or contributing cause to depression. This does, however, explain why cognitive therapy works so well for anxiety for some people. We learn to override the indicators the sgACC is giving us, in the same way that a person can learn to ignore a steady noise or constant smell. It doesn't work at all for some people, of course, just as some are unable to ignore a constant sensory input. Humans are complex.
Depression isn't in any way "the opposite" of anxiety disorder. The other extreme of a depressed state would be the maniac state in bipolar affective disorder, but then again: this is yet another completely different condition that just happens to manifest similar symptoms during some periods of time.
Inhibition of sgACC (area 25) reduces heart rate and reactivity to threats (like a snake) . This was work from the same lab as the one referenced in the video. www.pnas.org/content/114/20/E4075
Human soft tissues look like just a mix of fat and a reddish pink goo. If you don't have any clue that there's some kind of delicate structure there, you will miss (and probably distroy) it while dissecting.
I wish SciShow would do an episode on cancer cures. "There's no cure for cancer" is an OUTDATED statement. We have cures for some kinds of cancers now, and people commonly don't seem to know this. I didn't even know until I was diagnosed. They were gonna "cure" it, but then they found my cancer had spread, so it's stage 4. I'm fine, they say I may be headed for remission. Chemo is also different nowadays. I take a daily oral pill for chemo. Cancer treatments have come a long way. LOL, one Trump supporter even said to me, "you'll be dead soon anyway," and I had to laugh because people live with some kinds of cancer longer than ever lately! Donating to medical research isn't the "waste of money" some people would have you think. They're ALWAYS making new discoveries!
I get a sharp pain under my tongue when I’m gonna eat spicy or sour food. I think we both need to drink more, our salivary glands must be having a hard time,
I've been pulling saliva from back there forever, and ended up thinking thats where all my saliva comes from. Kinda weird that no one knew there were glands there
The saliva in the back tasted bad and unclean not like the one under the tongue which taste like water to me I don't know if it just me or maybe I have chronic infection in the back of my mouth ??
My father got hit with a lot of radiation from cancer, and they ended up frying out all his salivation glans 15 years ago, i told him about this and he is still just happy there is a improved cure and he is alive.
Interesting. I've had dry mouth, a little swallowing and jaw movement difficulties, since getting Bell's Palsy on the left side of my face a long time ago (nerve pain from that also travelled down to just on my collarbone). I also had a perfectly good molar removed because of constant pain on that side. Suspecting that it was caused by nerve impingement or damage. Also had a weird hearing impairment from the Bell's Palsy, which significantly affected my recognition of people's voices over the phone, for some considerable time. I could hear what they were saying, but didn't have a clue who they were for the first minute or so, which didn't endear me to my then employers or any subsequent employer, who always insisted that I answer the phones (good phone manners and speaking voice lol). That has abated and is now improved somewhat, but now if someone has a strong accent or talks very quickly, my processing of what they're saying isn't optimal for that first minute...still sometimes have to get them to slow down or repeat. Ah well.
Hey hun, I have been diagnosed with hemicrania continua after 10 years of trying to get a correct diagnosis. Have you ever heard of this condition? I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy over and over again, but what happens for me is that the right side of my face "droops" like Bell's Palsy when my condition flares up. This is interesting to me, bc my condition flares up more bc of stressful situations and I have had and continue to have a very difficult life with lots of psychological and physical trauma. I'm diagnosed with PTSD, MDD and GAD as well. They treated me at the University of MN and the best thing that seemed to work for me was botox, CGRP meds and pain meds, although my insurance won't cover them all and it's a rare condition so there aren't many studies and even many Dr written appeals don't help. The best was CGRP though if I had to pick and I did get some pain meds through a pain clinic on the side but if I did botox I had to pay out of pocket. I'm actually pregnant right now and have to be off all of it, but it's actually not as bad right now. I was in a group on FB and pain levels do tend to go down during pregnancy thankGod, some days are still unbearable. Just thought you might wanna check it out if it fits you too. Take care.
@@pazamour Wow. You've been through a lot. I'll look into your suggested condition, if there's any info on it. A friend of mine was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, and that seems very difficult to live with too (similar sounding effects on nerves and muscles of the face etc.) When she gets very stressed or overheated I've seen it hit her and it's mildly scary, just as a spectator, must be horrible to have it. Anything to do with the nervous system can generate a large amount of pain, so I hope they can find the best treatment for you soon. I hope all goes well with you and your new family. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.
So...it’s a set of salivary glands? Tubarial glands. Hmm. Interesting, perhaps it also explains why human babies can produce so much saliva like a komodo dragon and drip them everywhere! XD
FINALLY! These are the glands I've been trying to convince my otolaryngologist exist since I have an aggravating little tonsil stone that keeps rubbing against one of them and making it get inflamed! I've been like, "Dude, there's a gland here. I squeeze it and saliva comes out. It's a salivary gland." And he's like, "Nope! Literature says nothing there!" And this is why you cannot just blindly trust the 'experts'. They have blinders on the same as everyone else when they're stuck on dogma. Just remember: a mere 20 years ago, the best astronomers were still suggesting extrasolar planets were rare, and planets around multiple star systems and red dwarfs were highly unlikely. Now we know planets are EVERYWHERE!! And it's very rare to find a system WITHOUT planets! Red dwarfs may have the most planets of all! Terrestrial planets are as common as dirt itself! Multiple star system of even up to 4 stars could have planets in stable orbits! See, the science is NOT SET IN STONE. New discoveries can change EVERYTHING OVERNIGHT. When they try to convince you otherwise, it's a RELIGIOUS-type belief, and NOT a scientific one. There is one tenet of science the ideologists ignore: we must always allow for the chance the science is wrong.
Wait! I thought Science WAS a religion... lol. (joking...kind of, since people who are on the Science side definitely act like religious bigots at times).
@@Kayenne54 I was a research biologist for nearly 20 years. Believe me, the DOGMA of science actually GETS IN THE WAY of scientific progress far more often than most people realize. They DO NOT want to admit when they are dead wrong. I butted heads plenty of times and suggested things were BLEW APART the accepted theory, only to be proven RIGHT a few years later (such as my suggestion in 2000 that DNA-RNA triplexes were possible and had biological activity)
I get what you say that science is wrong, simply because you can’t ‘prove’ anything right - that’s for the Arts (philosophy, religion etc.) A theory or hypotheses stands because it hasn’t been proven wrong. That doesn’t make it right, just neutral - it hasn’t been proved wrong. That doesn’t make science ‘weak’ it just helps prevent charlatans and allows for progress by peer review. Try telling that to a conservative, regardless of political leaning, who always believes they’re right. Ignorance is its own trap.
My wife runs a nonprofit that supports ladies going through breast and ovarian cancer; so you first segment on Dry Mouth was especially interesting to me 1) She told me that ladies report having Dry Mouth during chemo therapy and few report it during radiation treatment. 2) You mentioned that the result of the discovery could help reduce Dry Mouth during treatment. How?
*AHHHHH!!!!! I KNEW I HAD THESE GLANDS FOR YEARS!!!!!* Ever since I was a kid I could do this thing where I kind of puff up my cheeks and like push/apply pressure on my lips and it would make these two pockets, on either side of my jaw, right where the curve of my jaw bone is, right under my ear, it would put pressure on those glands and I can hear them "bubble". (That's the best way I can describe the sound I hear when I apply pressure to them like this) Over the years I had told numerous people about this, and looked and looked to see if they were some kind of gland, I assumed they were salivary glands, but I couldn't find any information on there being anything let alone any kind of gland in that area by my jaw bone. I'm so glad I came across this video. I KNEW they had to be salivary glands!!! I was right!!!!

They missed it because of the way centuries of doctors had been taught to open up the face because of the impediment of connective tissues. They found the muscle using what was essentially a bandsaw instead of a scalpel.
Cutting into the body is hard and anatomist follow the same paths through tissues generation after generation.
Maybe they weren't really good therapists then
Probably dries up after death. Same way we missclassified the largest organ in the body forforever.
I'm studying voice performance. My professor was very excited about this and everyone in my voice studio studying under that professor says that the discovery has lead to breakthroughs in our lessons, me included.
Could you elaborate?
Why??
I mean it's not like they was sitting there waiting for us to discover them and flip the switch for it to start working 🤷♀️
@@NadDew (Not a pro singer) Dry throat and trouble swallowing are problems for anyone trying to sing. Knowing this gland is critical for preventing that may affect how you deal with it. Just taking a drink of water won't last long enough for a full song.
@@josephcrespo7822 Classical singers (meaning those of us like OP who study voice in the context of classical music performance) usually take at least one course in which we study the anatomy and physiology of singing. Our teachers who have this knowledge teach us how to properly use our bodies down to the finest detail as well as avoid injury - the body is a singer’s instrument. Opera singers never use microphones or other artificial amplification, and have careers spanning actual decades. It isn’t all volume at all - we use the principles of acoustics to do that. Yes, acoustics as in the physics of sound! It’s actually a very involved process requiring many years of study to understand and develop such an intimate understanding of one’s body, and learn to control and manipulate the necessary parts to achieve this feat. Placement of resonance in the cavities of the head, shape of the mouth, position of the tongue, breath control - its kind of a lot!
If those glands were affecting the shape of the pharyngeal space it could have a profound effect on the sound produced with the voice, because it alters the shape of and passage of air through that resonant space. A singer who doesn’t know about that might develop a bad habit that could at the least keep them from producing the needed resonance, and at worst cause damage to the body. Say those glands are getting in the way of the air stream because of illness or theirs are just a bit larger than most - a young singer might compensate by forcing too much air through the larynx, or over-lift the soft palate. It becomes a waste of energy, but also can cause muscle tension leading to injuries, or strain and overwork the vocal folds which can lead to development of scarring and nodules.
Oh yeah, and we do all this while studying the phonetics of foreign languages so we don’t sound like the guys in Inglourious Basterds attempting to speak Italian while attempting to act out a dramatic story.
Since they're draped around the ear canal, that explains why your hearing gets altered when they are swollen, due to sickness, infection, allergies, food sensitivities, drugs, chemicals, whatever. They will narrow the hearing tube, which alters the sounds that you hear.
So this might sound kinda sus but i actually kinda had a feeling this was already a thing just because when i eat some really strong tasting food like sour tastes, i actually get a bit of pain in that area when my mouth tries to salivate too quickly, so its actually super interesting to hear about this study!
They REALLY need a tracer for endometriosis. Right now, the only way to tell for sure if somebody has endometriosis is to open up their abdominal cavity and LOOK. It's medieval.
EDIT: I googled it, and it looks like scientists are working on developing one!
Finally!!!
Yay, more salivary glands.... said no dentist ever.
Lol
Lmao
Less saliva = more caries...
Depends on what kind of dentist you have...
You're wrong. It's the opposite.
I mean, awareness of a possible issue is the first step to addressing it. So I imagine dentists would be happy to learn of this.
I think I kinda have "free floating anxiety".
But it could also be just that stuff I did not dealt with, creates a sort of "background anxiety". Similar to how there is cosmic background radiation, there is this anxiety.
could be generalized anxiety disorder
As a person who has currently finished the fifth week of proton beam therapy on his salivary gland cancer, this is enlightening.
Funny that you included these topics together. I take a medication for anxiety and PTSD that causes chronic dry mouth 😂
I struggle daily with anxiety, and yet I had no idea that free floating anxiety was a thing! Thank you guys so much for the awesome educational content, you've helped me immensely.

I genuinely love how excited you get about this stuff, Hank. I wish I had that sort of zest for life 😂
As someone who suffers from anxiety with depressive qualities, I googled where the sgacc was located in the brain. I find it funny that when I know I am having anxiety I can physically feel the anxiety/depression rolling down my head like someone is pulled a blind down from the top of my head across my forehead and back in towards the amygdala. Makes me wonder if the other parts of the brain are sending the signals down to the sgac and on to the amygdala and I'm more sensitive than others and can actually feel it going on......
I’m autistic and I believe I have very sensitive interoception and I can feel stuff like that too!
When I have anxiety or I’m getting pms I swear I can literally feel the hormones buzzing around in my brain! It’s such a weird sensation because I’m experiencing certain moods but I’m extremely aware of this physical sensation of the emotional hormones (or menstrual hormones) buzzing through my brain and my body and so it feels almost separate to me. Like they’re not /my/ emotions they’re just something that’s happening to me physically in my brain!

Anxiety intensifies

I only just learned about anhedonia about a week ago, which is a major issue for me. Good to know there's progress.
2 minutes marmoset-time has gotta be equivalent to like 3 hrs human-time. Add in eye contact from the impossibly-large ogre, and I bet there was lots of pooping had.
Poor, twitchy little goblins. 😕 But hopefully their stressful experience will ultimately help lots of ppl.
I hope so. After a great 40 years, career, and marriage, I had an accident. After the surgery, meds, and treatment, I emerged with anxiety and depression so severe that I lost my job, relationships, and most of what's meaningful in life. What we're going through in COVID is how I've been ever since. Much as I want answers and a treatment, I don't want it at the cost of these innocent creatures.
havent watched the vid yet and this gave me a stroke
also have no idea what this gland has to do w marmosets and time but i guess ill know soon...
This made me happy for some reason
Weirdly, I had never heard the term, "free floating anxiety". I've had it in crippling life destroying fashion for over 30 years. Every site and discussion about anxiety seems to discuss automatic thoughts and reasons which have no application to me. I bet I'd be a perfect test subject for this over activity theory.
Cool, cant wait to get it installed.
2:38 I took a Covid-19 test after having a day of 40 C fever in July. The test was after the fever dropped the next day and it was negative. The stick irritated so much that water started to leak instantly from that side eye.

As someone who used to have chronic dry-mouth due to a sleep medication, it is really awful and does, in fact, negatively impact one's quality of life.
*I hope more research has surfaced since this video on the anxiety brain stuff. As a person who’s been a Hypochondriac since I was 5, and I’m now 21. It’s not fun overreacting to every small thing and having full blown panic attacks when I’m in no REAL danger. My panicking can get so bad it makes my entire body hurt along with my mind just constantly racing. If they can find a way to deal with panic disorders/depression/OCD disorders and so on that would do wonders for some of us who’s fears/emotions are so debilitating it makes us unable to live our daily lives without overthinking and stressing everything.*

I've really enjoyed SciShow since I started watching it.
But, Hank, one of the things I really pike about you is that in all the SciShows I've watched, literally hundreds, you've only mentioned your authorship a few times? Two? I think that's so neat.
Know what else is neat? You're a GREAT writer Mr. Green! Keep it up please, all of you.
You could say that they are _gland new._
The information box at the left is “behind” Hank and, somehow, this makes me happy :)
babe wake up new organ just dropped
As someone with anxiety this is extremely welcoming news.
It would have been nice to get a full 3D image of the complete four sets of salivary glands to better grasp their relative positions and maybe figure part of their dynamic :-o
I didn't realize that pair of glands hadn't been formally described. I can distinctly feel those get going along with the rest whenever I get tingle or almost pain from that sort of "mouth wake-up" feeling
I think I felt those glands before they were scientifically discovered
You're not supposed to put your fingers that deep.
@@Gunth0r who said it was fingers...
I think I have too! I’m not a scientist and I don’t claim to understand any of this, but I’ve always felt something in between my brain and my nasal airway when I had anxiety. It felt like a capsule that had a bit of liquid in it. Again, I’m not a scientist. This is just my subjective experience.
@@kenshiromilesvt.7037 I don't know if you meant what I understand or i have dirty mind 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

how have we lived this long not knowing this organ like wut???
This is like the third time in the past 5 years they discovered a new organ. I remember back in 2015ish, they found a new part of the eye called Dua's Layer. And a few years back they discovered the mesentery, which holds your intestines and other abdominal organs together. Additionally they only just realized that the appendix might have an important role in digestion (providing a home for your gut Flora in the event of them getting flushed out). Just got to keep looking!

Does under activation of SGACC cause the opposite effect in depression? Interested to know as it may explain some things in my life.
good question
Since it's possible - and in fact quite common - to have both anxiety and depression at the same time, I doubt underactivation could be a significant trigger or contributing cause to depression. This does, however, explain why cognitive therapy works so well for anxiety for some people. We learn to override the indicators the sgACC is giving us, in the same way that a person can learn to ignore a steady noise or constant smell. It doesn't work at all for some people, of course, just as some are unable to ignore a constant sensory input. Humans are complex.
Depression isn't in any way "the opposite" of anxiety disorder. The other extreme of a depressed state would be the maniac state in bipolar affective disorder, but then again: this is yet another completely different condition that just happens to manifest similar symptoms during some periods of time.
Inhibition of sgACC (area 25) reduces heart rate and reactivity to threats (like a snake) . This was work from the same lab as the one referenced in the video. www.pnas.org/content/114/20/E4075
@@02woodc Thanks this is what I was after, lack of reaction to danger.
those marmoset illustrations are so cute 🥺
Cool cool cool but how did doctors never found it before on xrays, pet scans, MRI, CT?
Those mainly image bones or thick enough obvious to see tissues. They also didn't even know to look for something they didn't know existed.
Plausible Deniabililty - Insurance denies it even exists. MedSci has no idea how to fight it anyway. And You Can't SEE it.
Human soft tissues look like just a mix of fat and a reddish pink goo. If you don't have any clue that there's some kind of delicate structure there, you will miss (and probably distroy) it while dissecting.
I wish SciShow would do an episode on cancer cures. "There's no cure for cancer" is an OUTDATED statement. We have cures for some kinds of cancers now, and people commonly don't seem to know this. I didn't even know until I was diagnosed. They were gonna "cure" it, but then they found my cancer had spread, so it's stage 4. I'm fine, they say I may be headed for remission. Chemo is also different nowadays. I take a daily oral pill for chemo. Cancer treatments have come a long way. LOL, one Trump supporter even said to me, "you'll be dead soon anyway," and I had to laugh because people live with some kinds of cancer longer than ever lately! Donating to medical research isn't the "waste of money" some people would have you think. They're ALWAYS making new discoveries!

Hold my Parotid, sublingual and submandibular with multiple buccal glands.
Omgggg I suffer from dry mouth due to my medication, and it has ruined my gums and teeth. This is seriously amazing 😭
Interesting. I've had dry mouth, a little swallowing and jaw movement difficulties, since getting Bell's Palsy on the left side of my face a long time ago (nerve pain from that also travelled down to just on my collarbone). I also had a perfectly good molar removed because of constant pain on that side. Suspecting that it was caused by nerve impingement or damage. Also had a weird hearing impairment from the Bell's Palsy, which significantly affected my recognition of people's voices over the phone, for some considerable time. I could hear what they were saying, but didn't have a clue who they were for the first minute or so, which didn't endear me to my then employers or any subsequent employer, who always insisted that I answer the phones (good phone manners and speaking voice lol). That has abated and is now improved somewhat, but now if someone has a strong accent or talks very quickly, my processing of what they're saying isn't optimal for that first minute...still sometimes have to get them to slow down or repeat. Ah well.
Hey hun, I have been diagnosed with hemicrania continua after 10 years of trying to get a correct diagnosis. Have you ever heard of this condition? I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy over and over again, but what happens for me is that the right side of my face "droops" like Bell's Palsy when my condition flares up. This is interesting to me, bc my condition flares up more bc of stressful situations and I have had and continue to have a very difficult life with lots of psychological and physical trauma. I'm diagnosed with PTSD, MDD and GAD as well. They treated me at the University of MN and the best thing that seemed to work for me was botox, CGRP meds and pain meds, although my insurance won't cover them all and it's a rare condition so there aren't many studies and even many Dr written appeals don't help. The best was CGRP though if I had to pick and I did get some pain meds through a pain clinic on the side but if I did botox I had to pay out of pocket. I'm actually pregnant right now and have to be off all of it, but it's actually not as bad right now. I was in a group on FB and pain levels do tend to go down during pregnancy thankGod, some days are still unbearable. Just thought you might wanna check it out if it fits you too. Take care.
@@pazamour Wow. You've been through a lot. I'll look into your suggested condition, if there's any info on it. A friend of mine was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, and that seems very difficult to live with too (similar sounding effects on nerves and muscles of the face etc.) When she gets very stressed or overheated I've seen it hit her and it's mildly scary, just as a spectator, must be horrible to have it. Anything to do with the nervous system can generate a large amount of pain, so I hope they can find the best treatment for you soon. I hope all goes well with you and your new family. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.
This episode speaks to my mouth, had both chemo and radiation 4 years ago and both my mouth and eyes get so dry, yeah it's not fun...
So...it’s a set of salivary glands? Tubarial glands.
Hmm. Interesting, perhaps it also explains why human babies can produce so much saliva like a komodo dragon and drip them everywhere! XD
Gonna attempt some percussive maintenance on my sgACC and see if I feel less anxious.
A short while ago they found lymphatic vessels to the brain, now they found some salivary glands... Wonder what else has been missed.

New glands just dropped 🔥🔥🔥
Accidental science is the best science
Sweet! New glands dropped!
FINALLY! These are the glands I've been trying to convince my otolaryngologist exist since I have an aggravating little tonsil stone that keeps rubbing against one of them and making it get inflamed!
I've been like, "Dude, there's a gland here. I squeeze it and saliva comes out. It's a salivary gland."
And he's like, "Nope! Literature says nothing there!"
And this is why you cannot just blindly trust the 'experts'. They have blinders on the same as everyone else when they're stuck on dogma.
Just remember: a mere 20 years ago, the best astronomers were still suggesting extrasolar planets were rare, and planets around multiple star systems and red dwarfs were highly unlikely. Now we know planets are EVERYWHERE!! And it's very rare to find a system WITHOUT planets! Red dwarfs may have the most planets of all! Terrestrial planets are as common as dirt itself! Multiple star system of even up to 4 stars could have planets in stable orbits!
See, the science is NOT SET IN STONE. New discoveries can change EVERYTHING OVERNIGHT. When they try to convince you otherwise, it's a RELIGIOUS-type belief, and NOT a scientific one. There is one tenet of science the ideologists ignore: we must always allow for the chance the science is wrong.
Wait! I thought Science WAS a religion... lol. (joking...kind of, since people who are on the Science side definitely act like religious bigots at times).
@@Kayenne54 I was a research biologist for nearly 20 years. Believe me, the DOGMA of science actually GETS IN THE WAY of scientific progress far more often than most people realize. They DO NOT want to admit when they are dead wrong. I butted heads plenty of times and suggested things were BLEW APART the accepted theory, only to be proven RIGHT a few years later (such as my suggestion in 2000 that DNA-RNA triplexes were possible and had biological activity)
Doctors do so love to be right. Even when they're wrong.
I get what you say that science is wrong, simply because you can’t ‘prove’ anything right - that’s for the Arts (philosophy, religion etc.) A theory or hypotheses stands because it hasn’t been proven wrong. That doesn’t make it right, just neutral - it hasn’t been proved wrong. That doesn’t make science ‘weak’ it just helps prevent charlatans and allows for progress by peer review. Try telling that to a conservative, regardless of political leaning, who always believes they’re right. Ignorance is its own trap.
@@SimoniousB Ignorance and arrogance are two sides of the same coin. Agree with your summary btw.
My wife runs a nonprofit that supports ladies going through breast and ovarian cancer; so you first segment on Dry Mouth was especially interesting to me

*AHHHHH!!!!! I KNEW I HAD THESE GLANDS FOR YEARS!!!!!*
Ever since I was a kid I could do this thing where I kind of puff up my cheeks and like push/apply pressure on my lips and it would make these two pockets, on either side of my jaw, right where the curve of my jaw bone is, right under my ear, it would put pressure on those glands and I can hear them "bubble". (That's the best way I can describe the sound I hear when I apply pressure to them like this) Over the years I had told numerous people about this, and looked and looked to see if they were some kind of gland, I assumed they were salivary glands, but I couldn't find any information on there being anything let alone any kind of gland in that area by my jaw bone.
I'm so glad I came across this video.
I KNEW they had to be salivary glands!!! I was right!!!!
