Emotions: limbic system | Processing the Environment | MCAT | Khan Academy

That is so amazing! My names nolan. I’m 17 years old and I was correctly diagnosed with brain cancer at 4 years old. I use my story to inspire ppl through bodybuilding! U r probably the smartest YouTube guy! Thank u so much for the amazing video!

The Hat Hippo saved me during my AP psychology exam THANK YOU

You helped to solve a twenty seven year old mystery for me around the 7:00 mark- I witnessed a guy at a party, while he was under the influence of alcohol, put a lampshade on his head, pull his pants down, and he started to sing very loudly...it could have been very easily explained by science. Thanks for that! Thanks, informative video.

Thank you for this video ! I was fascinated to learn that the overstimulation of the amygdala results in raised anger/violence/ fear/anxiety but it’s destruction results in hyperorality, hypersexuality and disinhibited behaviour. This is relevant to people with cluster B personality disorders i.e., narcissistic personality, antisocial personality, borderline and histrionic personality disorder; these are all disorders of mood and erratic behaviour. HPD, for instance, would have patients both anxious/ fearful, disinhibited and hypersexual which suggests there may be separate functional structures in the amygdala controlling certain aspects of emotional regulation, i.e., anger/fear, hypersexuality, disinhibition. Very Interesting stuff.

Hippopotamus with a hat.. Beautiful demonstration!

Well Jeffrey ... your mnemonic for remembering the four structures making up the limbic system ... amazing (-: Thanks for that!

That was super helpful! I always found the limbic system concept hard to grasp but you explained it really well, thank you :)

A lot of this makes sense. I used to use methamphetamine, and I got to a point where almost every second was in fight or flight. Complete panic. "Rest and digest" is an appropriate term, when in the fight or flight mode with my brain flooded with things that shouldn't be there, my bowels would freeze for days on end. I could never relax. You are very good with a mouse, writing like that. Another thing about the limbic system, I have felt my entire body light up like a christmas tree, only once or twice in my life. Both were due to empathy/love. Strange and beautiful.

Thank you so much. Your a great teacher and you explain very well. I appreciate it!

i’ve learn so much from your short and clear teaching style. thank you so much

This is my favor video about the limbic system, easy to understand and memorized. Some people just have the art to teach. Thanks again sir.

I kept on smiling throughout the first minutes of the video. I love the Hippo-hat! I have an exam on this tomorrow and thanks to you I understand the subject completely. So thank you for sharing your knowledge in such an easy way to understand :)))

Congrats for the channel. I am a psychiatrist in Brazil and I am about to launch a course called "Anatomy of emotions to lay people". There is a lot of discrimination, stigma and prejudice regarding mental disorders in my country, so the idea of the course is trying to change society point of view. I will follow you for sure. Best regards always. Primo Paganini.

That's what i've been exactly looking for !! Thanks a lot! double thumbs up!

I rally enjoyed this video. It helped me break down it separately, since I’m a LPN student. We do a lot of teaching on our own. So he’s breaks it down again using the other systems and medication that it is related to. Teach outside the box. I appreciated. Him and the. Kahn Academy. It helped with the other systems like the endocrine.

Very short but comprehensive look at the basic functions of the limbic system, brilliant!

Such a nice man . Your kindness and goodness are apparent in your voice. How your students must love you .

Soo good! I love your presentations!! It makes my life so much easier. I love that your lectures are so easy to understand and follow. The subtitles underneath are banging! Please please please create more videos for neuroscience!

HAT HIPPO is probably the best thing in the world, thank you for him
