Learning and Memory

Neuroscience, psychology and data science merch! Book recommendations!
A great way to support the channel and to help us to keep going is to check out our merch shop! My wife has created tons of really cool neuroscience, data science and psychology themed shirts, mugs and other gifts.

You can also help the channel by checking out one of my favorite neuroscience books! If you're like me though and don't have time for a physical book then consider listening to one of these on Audible. You can get one of these for free by signing up for a free trial. Even if you cancel before the trial is up, our channel still gets some much needed support!

Pieces of Light: How the New Science of Memory Illuminates the Stories We Tell About Our Pasts: amzn.to/3DAJPRf
Why Life Speeds Up As You Get Older: How Memory Shapes our Past: amzn.to/3Hx368C
The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature: amzn.to/3DCZ8ca
Are you frustrated because you want to read as much as you can but you can never find the time to pick up a book? I noticed as I got older and busier that I was reading less and less every year. Audible was an absolute game changer! I was able to listen to all the books I wanted to and it was all during the down time moments where reading a physical book was impossible (driving my car, doing the dishes, out on a run, working in the yard..). In the last 5 years I've now listened a total of 4 months 20 days and 8 hours and have managed to listen to over 200 books. They do a free trial and give you your first book for free so give it a try and see if you get sucked in like I did.

Consider checking out my udemy course on group dynamics and social psychology!
If you enjoy my lectures than you might also enjoy my online course on group dynamics and the ways in which groups influence our behavior. www.udemy.com/course/social-p...
This is the ninth lecture in the cognitive neuroscience course. So much of our agency and sense of purpose comes from our ability to recall the past and assign meaning to it. It allows us to learn from past mistakes and to act flexibly in the present. This is part one of two lectures that explore the cognitive basis for memory from the level of the individual cell up to the network properties that rely on memory to operate effectively and efficiently.

I am a hosting a Philosophy Club and this Saturday we are discussing Memory from a psychological and neurological perspective. I am preparing slides and taking notes. I want to thank you for uploading this invaluable course for free. This has benefitted me so so much. May God bless you!

Human brain has 86 billion neurons. But out of that only 1 billion neurons store memories and rest of the 85 billion neurons process that memories.
Sir, is it true?

[@thecellularrepublic9844]

I'm not sure where you are getting that information but it's not an easy question to answer. We know that there are regions of the brain such as the hippocampus that are crucial for memory because we know what happens to people that don't have one. They are no longer able to form long term memories anymore. This structure is very small relative to the rest of the brain but I think it would be a mistake to say that it was the only thing "storing'" memories. Memory storage is still very poorly understood and what we have noticed in studies is actually a reinstatement of activity all over the cortex when we retrieve a memory. These are usually the same neurons that were active during the event that happened. "Processing" of the memories is also poorly understood. There is a network called the default mode network that is active when we are retrieving and thinking about our memories that involves parts of the frontal cortex and other regions but I wouldn't say that the "rest" of the neurons are processing memories. It's a really complicated flow of information and there's still a lot of research that needs to be done before we can say we truly understand what "storage" and "processing" are. I hope that makes sense!
