What's always amazed me is the ability to throw an object exactly where you want it to go. You see the "target" and yet somehow your brain knows exactly which muscles... how much force... how much extension... which angle... and somehow you hit the target... yet I never "thought" about the "how"... I just throw and hit the target. Incredible.

I’m recovering from chronic traumatic brain injury, which caused an extended coma, this what PT, OT and SLP is all about, relearning to do these basic things, like walk properly. However, I’ve found that some things came back, like pottery, others, like crocheting, took ages to relearn. I still struggle with this, but each day, I continue to strive, to rebuild these path ways. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I’ve loved learning with you guys!

Now this is fascinating!

Back in 2015 I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease. For months before the actual diagnosis, I would literally fall out of a chair. Once diagnosed and on medication, I started rehab.

During this time, I was a competitive shooter in IPSC, timed running around target shooting.

I ask the physiotherapist one day "why can I stand perfectly still and shoot a Target 50 yards away, then turn around and stagger back to the bench?" She asked me how many times I had shot at those targets, I said easily 10, 000. She said that I had retrained that one aspect of my brain, physiotherapy is going to retrain your brain for everyday things.

This explained what was going on in physio, although it brought light to the end of the tunnel it also was troubling with the realization there are some things I just cannot do 10, 000 times to retrain my brain 💔.

Thanks for this. I appreciate your clear explanations. Knowledge, is everything.

Definitely explains why I lost my drawing skills after a work injury and had to stop for several years. Been working back up and learning from scratch, this gives me hope at least that I haven't just "lost" a skill. Thanks for all your work and the resources you provide publicly, my partner finds your videos very helpful for grasping concepts in med school!

Excellent video. I have spent the last 45 years helping those with traumatic spinal cord injuries and other disabilities that affect the central nervous system. I commend you for making the case for motor learning following an amputation of one of our limbs. The human brain is incredibly resilient and adaptable following trauma insult. Thanks for this basic look into Motor Learning and Control.

My brain is learning how it learns. Great video.

[mariyamaafrin]

You make anatomy interesting for a medical student! Thank you! Waiting for more videos like this 🤗❤

[failure__sale]

It’s crazy to think that that is you, everything you love, everything you care about, every thought, every emotion, every memory you’ve ever had every moment you’ve ever experienced, all from that one part of our bodies..

[Naerda]

I did a project about this and used Michael Jordan as an example where he shoots a free throw with his eyes closed. His shooting stroke/form is so refined that he doesn’t need visual input to make the ft

[praxisdev]

Looking forward to the follow up on practice patterns: block vs randomized. This is all very fascinating. Thank you!

[pumpkinshrekgtagvr]

Learning is so fun when it’s not forced. (edit 107 likes I never had so much likes omgggg I feel famous now tysm guys) (edit 2 198 even more tysm)

[stemandchronicles]

This is so technical (checks out with medical school curricula) yet so basic, and that's what makes this video so great. Thank you!

[SoCalRegisteredNurse]

If you haven’t already, can you do a video on dementias, anxiety and the amygdala, and depression and how they affect brain anatomy and neural pathways?

[annettefournier]

Will be interesting to hear about practice. I had a dressage coach that would respond to people saying " practice makes perfect" with, "actually perfect practice makes perfect". Meaning we must engage correctly and not be sloppy.

[Krisha]

Your videos made biology more easier and interesting for me.🔬💫

[AamirMahboubKhan]

The more I watch your videos, the more I regret not going full medicine after pre-med. I just love this stuff and understand very well.

[vincenzocapuzziello]

You're doing a work that truly deserves praise!
Unfortunately, for my experience, It is unlikely to do practical exercises with models in schools and universities, when studying organs and tissues... No professor has ever used real organs to teach...
There are other subjects where it is easier to do or find real objects about which teach things. But in medicine, for organs, it's tough
But with your work, millions of students have a chance to experience what it is like to handle a real organ: and not just one, but different organs!
Students need practical experience to fully enjoy this subject. Thanks for your videos! 🤩

[rhodexa]

Yes!! This is exactly the video I was waiting for... I literally typed keywords before to see if had made anything like this before but nothing came up.

Now here it is ♥️

[jamelofswords]

New Sub here! I'm not even a med student but I've been watching these videos all afternoon! You have that *thing* that draws attention! Very fascinating!!

[karinaaragon]

Love your videos!!! Please keep them coming! My Premed intermediate students are always fascinated when we watch you in class. Woo!!hoo!! 🎉sending you CYBER HUGS!!
