Issues in Neuroscience: Are we our brains

Are we really our brains? I certainly have an opinion on it! I first start talking about my understanding of the brain from the past, and a bit about how I see it now. Will that change? What are our minds? Our souls? Can they really be boiled down to the firing of neurons? What is Biological basis VS biological marker of illness? Can various behaviours be localized to specific brain structures? How can disease states help us understand normal behaviour? What impact does the complexity of the brain have on our understanding of it? What is science for? Why do we care about the function of the brain? What are some of the ethical issues involved with treating brain illnesses? What has neuroplasticity got to do with anything? Who is right, western or eastern medicine? Does talk therapy change our brains? Does watching a youtube video change our brains? Are psychotrophic drugs helpful or dangerous?

Don't feel obligated to watch this video. It's long, and I barely talk about anything, it seems like to me, because there is so much to talk about.

COMING SOON:
Neurodiversity - Is that diagnosis a mental illness needing treatment or just a variation in our thinking and behaviour.

@nervousneuron @nervousneuron Not funny! We have a neuro warfare--an invisible war. Silent frequencies--do your homework!

[nervousneuron]

@avitalconnection

Sorry, I don't understand what your comment is in response to. What's not funny? What should I do 'homework' about?

[Catlover263]

What are you thoughts on things like "free will" and "morality" ?

[nervousneuron]

I could blab on about those for ages too...

as you'd see in a video I made about it, it's a video response to this one.

MIND CONTROL WITH SILENT SOUNDS AND SUPER COMPUTERS-CLONING EMOTIONS

@nervousneuron Yes, please be aware, this is all I ask; you are bright and educated. Google: Synthetic Telepathy, or silent sounds, frequencies Targeted Individuals. I assure you, you may see things in a differnt light. I respect you. Peace.
