I try to go for a walk every day and I find it a really good habit. The action itself doesn't have a very distinctive reward, but for me the benefit is just the fact that I get to see the nature, possibly other humans and experience something else besides the things that keep me in a loop. I also listen to my favourite songs while walking and just let my mind wander and observe life. Afterwards I usually feel more relaxed and it seems like I've found yet another way of looking at my existence. Sometimes while having a walk I might also feel like I can breathe for the first time that day.

It makes me so happy to see more people talking about brain health and how important it is for our mental health! BDNF released during exercise is like miracle-gro for our brain known to have 3 main benefits: stimulation of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, strengthening existing neurons and repairing damaged neurons.

Dr. Lambert, thanks for your great advice on the benefits of both exercise and hobbies in reducing our stress.
Iāve faced a lot of depression in my life and Iāve been lucky to find successful ways to fight it off including a regular practice of daily hiking and weekly horseback riding. These activities have literally saved my life more than once!
I also work to increase my beneficial serotonin and dopamine levels to reduce my stress hormones like cortisol through a regular practice of drawing and painting in a sketchbook during my hikes in nature.
Great presentation, Dr. Lambert. Thanks again.

With the COVID situation we are currently in, this is definitely food for thought about how we educate our young. Investment in outdoor education and fitness would be far more beneficial than investment in screen time, iPhones, iPads and other devices. Our next generation is going to be paying for COVID with their health.

LOVE! As a Psychology major studying Behaviorism, the implications of the science from the more objective end of behavior proves your point hand over fist. It is in the doing that we make our greatest learning leaps. But it's not just about memory. It's SO much more. Just observationally, one can see just how powerful the act of doing something generally is on building skill, speed, accuracy, general applicability, memory, and reflex. It's FASCINATING! I'd love to pursue a PhD in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience to gain the resources to dig further, but I think that's a little far out of my reach right now. Until then, I'm happy to nerd out on rats in cars. So fun! Thank you, Dr. Lambert for your contributions to the science of behavior and neuroscience in general.

My birth family has a rich history of depression, and I'm not exempt. On meds, I still get depression, but it's not as severe. Without meds, my depression can become so dark and deep that life doesn't seem worth living. I have struggled with this every year of my life, at least since puberty, and I'm middle-aged now. I wish I could go off meds - I don't know what they have done to my brain in the last 25 years. But the fact that I can still have depression, even with meds, makes it clear to me that they're still needed. That being said, I do a LOT of repetitive things with my hands that give me great joy. I also have a million plants that I take care of. I draw, paint, make scarves, and so much more - I'm just super creative. But when you're depressed, it's a struggle just to get up out of bed, much less do that stuff. I wish someone would study people like me, whose genetics are so depression dominant.

What I should have added is reference to the high levels of depression amongst people with MS and whether this is directly connected to their decreasing physical function. I donāt wish this to sound controversial, but is depression a direct result of sedentary lifestyles that resemble the physical limitations of living with something like MS?
I hope that your ongoing research will facilitate our understanding of how better to live in the 21st century.
Thank you for an interesting and insightful presentation.

Really good talk. I think our education systems should know this. It"s unnatural that our children have to sit on a chair at school. They should be exploring and moving and doing lots of things
