The 2012 research was amazing because it found that neurons physically shrink when we sleep (in RAM) which creates space for the CSF to flush metabolites (biological waste) out of the brain. It pretty much answered the question of why we sleep. 🤯

Happy Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month! 1 in 50 people is walking around with an unruptured brain aneurysm. Rupture survivor here. AMA 💙

Speech is not always on the left side of the brain. My mother died of a brain tumor. She was, also, born left handed, but when she went to school they forced her to be right handed. When she had a FMRI they discovered her speech was on the right side. This is when I learned that she was born left handed, and that, commonly, which side of the brain has speech and handedness form together.

I’m good at special awareness, but not facial recognition, shave your beard or change your hair and I won’t know you… but dang can I pack a suitcase

So we're no longer telling people they've got shite for brains, we're telling them to have a nap. Science, working for a kinder tomorrow

"Size doesn't matter much really."
My sadness wanes.
"When it comes to intelligence."

It's honestly kinda amazing to me that SciShow never time stamps their compilations.

[LisaCoffee-is]

The comments don't make justice to this channel. Great work by the way! Very instructive.

So region of the brain responsible for music is closer to the emotion region and that might explain why are we so prone to associating music to emotions?

Social scientists already know some of the answers to intelligence. It also largely depends on starting conditions, where they grew up, the status of the family, family ideology, their local infrastructure and transit, etc.

Like one of the greatest predictor of a poor child being able to obtain a college degree? Living near a rapid transit. For the general child getting a college degree? Living in the right family that has a tradition of intellectual pursuits, or even living in the right zip code in the US (no idea about other countries). The primary cause why many born Deaf people have poor education and poor perceived intelligence? Language deprivation, usually, or improper balance of their education focusing far too much on oralist approach or some other Manual English or other Manualized oral languages causing the rest of their education to suffer, as well having to suffer trauma the entire way through childhood.

it's great watching the brain going through self discovery. I am so proud of it.

The Human Mind: 600 miles of synaptic fiber, five and a half ounces of cranial fluid, 1500 grams of complex neural matter... a three-pound pile of dreams. But I'll tell you what it really is. It is the ultimate battlefield--and, the ultimate weapon

[scottcupp]

It's amazing that thoughts, hopes, dreams, and who you are form in that wrinkly 3 lb meatball with trillions of electrical connections. Amazing!

[unknownmanufacturer]

Could you imagine that one day they say that they found out we're all apart of a really big brain and everyone is just a thought within that said brain 😂😂😂😂😂

[TTmeowamine]

Keep in mind that "statistical significance" is not a measure of effect size. It is simply a measure of whether a study had enough data to reasonably conclude that the effect was not completely zero (under some assumptions). I noticed your reporters emphasizing the word "significant" as if it means important or large differences were concluded.
