Stress Response: Savior to Killer
Loading...
Uploaded by StanfordUniversity on Sep 19, 2008
As we've evolved, the human stress response has saved our lives. Today, we turn on the same life-saving physical reaction to cope with intense, ongoing stressors - and we can't seem to turn it off. Robert Sapolsky, Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University, reveals just how dangerous prolonged exposure to stress can be in the documentary, "Stress: Portrait of a Killer."

(On baboons) ...if you only have to work 3 hours a day, you've got 9 hours of free time every day to devote to making somebody else just miserable.
Nice.

It is a nice educative video on stress. There is a study by Prof. Eccles of Oxford Univ. (UK) where he observed neurons in SMA of brain to be active ven after full sedation of the body. This activity was attributed to signals from exterior. He conjectured that such interactions get recorded in a non-physical sheath that surround SMA and that will not die with the body. Ancient Indian scriptures have dealt with this aspect in detail called SAMSKARA's .
