This video was the singular catalyst for connecting psychology and neuroscience in my head, it just makes mental health and human behavior make so much more sense than everything else I've been taught about both.
Thank you for explaining the complexity of how the emotional and physiological brain works in a way that is easily understandable! 🎉🎉❤❤ I will apply this knowledge to my own life. 🎉❤
This video (as well as your other ones) is the BEST I have ever seen of the Brain and the way you have explained it, is magnificent! Thank you Daniel. If I lived in your area, I would have bought you a good bottle of red wine, or flowers for your house, or any other gift to tell you how valuable this teaching is!
OK......I finally found you! While you were listening to your ol' brain tape.....you ran me over.....next time, just pay attention to where your 'ol truck is going!!
I like your handy concept references, assuming people listening already know brain anatomy. A much wider audience would benefit instantly IF you would refer to your model for specific area functions, since it shows very clearly by size, shape and color, the relative location proximity to the brain stem. Thank You!
We are in Viet Nam. We find this video is very helpful for everyone. May we get your approval to translate the script into Vietnamese for non-profit purpose?
first step in solving any issue is identifying the root cause. Anger, according to Dr. Siegel, is created in the limbic system. By reflecting on why you feel angry (what's the proximal causes, are these proximal causes reasonable or were they instantiated in childhood) you will begin to be able to rewire (integrate) your brain. You will still have an active limbic system, but hopefully instead of blindly feeling anger, you may be able to identify the microactions (and neural circuitry caused by child development) beforehand that will give you some leverage in combatting your issue.
@@savvysilvia5075 my guess is when you begin to have an emotion that is undesirable or debilitating, you can do deep breathing exercises, or some other practice of putting the emotion in check so it doesn't just run it's course, unbeknownst to you, causing you to "flip your lid".... So by slowing down, recognizing the emotion/ situation is a tough one, you stop right there, take long deep breaths, talk to a trusted someone or whatever else is in your toolbox to get the scenario into perspective, before it runs through your entire brain process causing you to "flip your lid", leaving you angry, frustrated, exhausted, unreasonable & possibly sitting behind bars... ?? I'm just giving my interpretation, I may be completely wrong?
Yes, definitely YOU are at fault......but after you fork over big bucks for the brain course, you will cease nitpicking about such trivial errors........you may now applaud me!
Any way to get the sound to line up better with the video? It is such a wonderful video, but I struggle to show this to others, especially in a classroom setting.
I love this, but the sound is out of sync..? I'd like to share video with clients but it's hard with the sync problem. Is there a way to fix this or a re-recording somewhere? Thanks
CC gives you automatic transcript. Not sure if it can be downloaded but makes transcription easier. Also, I'd like to see translations. Would help with Spanish.
Hi Daniel, is there a reference for the findings from the conenctome project about greater interconnection of the connectome being a predictor of well-being
I couldn't watch the original video but I fixed the audio ua-cam.com/video/RjmOXkCAH8k/v-deo.html enjoy and sorry Doc. I am happy to send you the edited version or edit your original :)
I have now watched 2 or 3 descriptions of this model. I find it utterly confusing. I understand articles about quantum physics more easily. I understand it much more easily in a brain model. I have too many other associations with a hand, that have nothing to do with the brain.
Lost me when you started talking evolution..... what a bunch of nonsensical nonsense. Apparently the first magically appearing cell had the immense intelligence to realize it needed to first evolve a brain in order to think what else it was missing lol
At roughly 3:13, he says that the stem is the "oldest" part of the head-brain. By this, does he mean that it is the first area to form when we each individually grow, or that it developed early-on in our evolutionary paths?
Wow! Thank you Dan for this Amazing idea! Since I'm writing an essay, about the connection between hand gestures and yi Ching pentagrams; can I share your words in the research for TuiNa massage school?
I'm a school counselor and I teach this to my elementary students. One of my 5th graders had a question. What do you mean by our 200 million year old mammalian brain and 300 million year old reptilian brain? Did we evolve from reptiles?
If I understand correctly, we had this specific part of the brain but hadn't evolved enough yet 300million yrs ago to use it...... But i could be wrong?
Lost me when he started talking of the Limbic brain as being 200 million years old "when we became mammals." Don't get why people speak so definitively about things we know so little about and when the evolution theory is what its name states it to be - a theory. The last time I checked my dictionary this was stated to be a supposition or speculative guess.
You are using the wrong definition of theory. Theory as defined in science is the best explanation that science has to offer based on cumulative research that is solid and repeated, etc. Theories are extremely strong in science.
@@terrischmitt1980 It's surprising that even in 2023, there are people who are still beating on this "it's just a theory" drum. I thought the misconceptions surrounding this word in the context of science had already been addressed repeatedly in our school systems. Atomic theory, gravitational theory, music theory...are atoms, gravity, and music now just pure conjecture lol? And yet, here we still are with the "it's just a theory, so it's not worth much" argument. One person above is misquoting the dictionary - well here's what Encyclopedia Brittanica says about it: "In attempting to explain objects and events, the scientist employs (1) careful observation or experiments, (2) reports of regularities, and (3) *systematic explanatory schemes (theories)*. The statements of regularities, if accurate, may be taken as empirical laws expressing continuing relationships among the objects or characteristics observed. Thus, when empirical laws are able to satisfy curiosity by uncovering an orderliness in the behaviour of objects or events, the scientist may advance a systematic scheme, *or scientific theory*, to provide an accepted explanation of why these laws obtain."
@@milesbuckley1731OP is questioning the background of evolutionary theory specifically in this understanding of the brain, not the process of how scientific theories are constructed.
Gravity is a theory. Not many people dispute that this is also a fact based on the theory. You need to study what theories in science mean. It is evidence based research that holds up among the majority of scientists until more research may change that theory. You can test theories yourself. Gravity is an easy one to test but there may be research that disproves or changes this theory some day.

Thank you! I've just learned about this, it's helping our family understand our diagnosis. A few of us are autistic adhd
This is a really great easy to understand explanation of the brain! I know play helps connect the brain too. Thanks for this to help me teach parents!
This knowledge of the human brain I will add to my brain.
Sorry.....you have no room for this addition......
Transferred instantly to myself listening to The Mindful Brain in the drivers seat of my old truck.
OK......I finally found you! While you were listening to your ol' brain tape.....you ran me over.....next time, just pay attention to where your 'ol truck is going!!
Brilliant! Informative & helpful, and I appreciate the humorous touch, especially your little wave at the end.
Very beautiful despite learning, hearing, and teaching this concept myself to parents!!! Thank you so much for your kind and wise wisdom
Thanks for the nod Ms Cairns
Thanks. This is really important.👍
I wish I could hang this video on my wall. Wow, than you so much Dr. Dan Siegel!

Are there studies on the model of the mind in the hand because I am conducting a master's study on it.
I have just completed mindsight book , it is very useful book.
Has anyone come across a transcript of this? I work with prisoners that could really benefit from this
CC gives you automatic transcript. Not sure if it can be downloaded but makes transcription easier.

300 million years you say?!
The audio being off by like 5 seconds is really making me mad
Did you say, about our caregivers, "we can be sued by them"?
Where is the cerebellum in hand?
Hi Daniel, is there a reference for the findings from the conenctome project about greater interconnection of the connectome being a predictor of well-being
Tara sent me here =)
Me too. Just little remark to her explanation. Prefrontal cortex is where the 4 fingernails are positioned when we close our hand in the fist.
Me too :)
The last few times I watched this there was no lag but now there is. Can you fix?
Hey.....fix your own lags.....do I have to do everything for you?
It would be a lot easier if you used the beautiful model in front of you to show the parts Sr. LOL
Alguien. Me puede decir. El doctor. En inglés no entiendo. Nada de ingles😃😁😁

Hand-made and God-made; things don't just evolve professor... the rest makes sense though

please brains memory connected a robot important
I take it your doctorate is not in neurology?
That is precisely true.....his doctorate is in.....basket weaving 101.......bye...

Pointless flapping

Given the following information about the thumb and how he mentions ages, it's probably the latter.
Evolution.
It is both. The brain stem starts to develop first in a fetus.
Are there studies on the model of the mind in the hand because I am conducting a master's study on it.
This knowledge of the human brain I will add to my brain.
hahaha
Got bad news! your present brain is not very happy over this rude intrusion!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a easy and visual way so good and free. Would love to learn more from you at Siegel
Thank you so much for this explanation.

thanks dr GOD BLESS you make videos about religion islam and its benificial effects on brain thanks

Thanks for that helpful model of the brain!
Very handy
wonder how we existed 300m years ago without our outer cortex since eyes and ear sensory filter through it.
If I understand correctly, we had this specific part of the brain but hadn't evolved enough yet 300million yrs ago to use it...... But i could be wrong?
Thank you for this video Dan. Greetings from Austria ! ❤
i feel like this guy is doing the sos sign on purpose
It is playing out of sync?
🙏🏼
Where is the cerebellum in this hand model?
Don't be so picky.....it fell off the model.....because the glue didn't hold!
Interesting
