How does memory retrieval work in the brain?

In this video we ask the question: How does memory retrieval work in the brain? Memory is such a fundamental part of who we are so join us to find out how short term memory and long term memory retrieval can work in the brain.

It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that all my life experiences, all the people I meet in my life, could basically just be stored as an electrical zap thing, and if I damage my brain in a physical or even emotional way I could potentially lose temporary/permanent loss of that

There's a quote I really like about brains too: “If our brains were simple enough for us to understand them, we'd be so simple that we couldn't.”

The brain is such a complex organ i wonder if we ever understand it completly. Great excursion!

[ariamathias]

One of the most interesting educational channels out there. Love the content !

i read the book the brain and something that stuck with me ever since is the idea that our brain matter might not be important, just what it does. so if we replicate what it does we could put our brains on hardware/software, pretty crazy to think about. even if that seems so far off, im glad we already know so many amazing things about our brain. and im glad we have people like you who inform us

One of the best You-tube channel I've ever come across! Absolutely love the content! You were explaining as if you were singing a song, how amazing and intelligent you are! May god continue to bless you abundantly in your profession 🙏💜💜

This is such an underrated channel!!Like why is it not having a million subscribers!?..

[Incandescence]

Another awesome video, thank you. I've worked with advanced dementia- could you do a video de-mystifying a condition that continues to affect so many of us directly/indirectly?

Really love your videos! Ur videos are so inspiring and enthusiastic for the upcoming doctors in this field. Even I wanna be one of the neurosurgeon. Tysm😘

[markmutethia]

Great Video! It'd be lovely to get some content about the Papez circuit and emotional processing in general!

[tjason]

Great video. A thorough breakdown of fMRI and electron microscopy imaging of brain tissue would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for making these videos! I’m a (very nerdy) thirteen year old who greatly aspires to become a neurosurgeon in adulthood. Again, keep doing what you do! As someone who’s biggest goal is to become a neurosurgeon, I appreciate it! -Jed

[Nihilhem]

As always, very interesting. It would be nice to hear from you about new and innovative theories concerning memory formation and retrieval.

[HeduAI]

This is so cool! Thank you for this video.

I’m currently a neuroscience premed student at university and the reason I chose neuroscience was because I wanted to learn more about the physical substrates of memory and how we learn/store memories. This semester, I finally got into a neurobiology of learning and memory class that I’ve waited for, and I’ve learned so much about memory and how researchers study it! We learned about HM in our 2nd class and read the original Scoville/Milner study for the first exam. My favorite topics so far have been how researchers are using optogenetics to find physical memory traces, vagus nerve stimulation and how it can help with exposure therapy and PTSD (my professor actually researches VNS in her lab), and how reconsolidation can be disrupted and the physical traces of memory can start to fade (meaning memories can actually be erased). Such a fascinating topic!

Very great video.
Just a suggestion: Some illustrations(Even a short video clip from a book) would probably do wonders.

For neoplasms near the hippocampus, is there a specific neurosurgical approach used to access the mass? Furthermore, how does a neurosurgeon ensure that they won’t damage the hippocampus?

Memories playing very big Roll
thanks for the video 🙏

[toughdogproducts]

Loved this episode, intriguing thank you 👍

my cousin has serious epilepsy and yes he has memory problems🤔he was taking the epilepsy medicine since he was little and his IQ is half of his brother and he has both long term and short term memory issue 🤔we wrote down on a small piece of paper like "close the door lock the key" and managing everyday life but he is turning to 18 and we all little worry about his future.... anything we can try? any recommendation?

[sharonsugarsmith]

Thanks for the astonishing videos. Would you please discuss what Sleep Apnea, what it does to you the brain & the body.
