Top Comments of this video!! :3
This podcast is a gold mine.. the knowledge that you share is unbelievable.. I'm just an uneducated idiot from a third world country, i don't understand every technical words that you say.. but I do enjoy very much all the information that I get out of it. To have a person with your education sharing it to the word for free is just a pure gift, so thank you.

Hi Doc
I am a medical scribe. I have been listening to your podcast for a long time. Now, while working with physician's I happen to notice your name a lot. Physician's have been recommending your podcast for dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. Your most prominent one is dopamine pathways. Proud moment for your Sir. You are changing the world.
Keep it up Sir

Emotions fall on three different ranges. (Possibly more)
- Good / bad (aka Valence)
- Interoceptive to exteroceptive
- Alert to calm
Emotions serve a purpose, but they are best understood by how they were received when looking at your infancy and adolescence.
(Were you taken care of properly as a baby and as a teenager, physically and emotionally?)
This also ties back to Attachment Styles Theory.
Emotional bonds are made through gaze (eye contact), physical touch, voice, and affect (more on this!!)
In social situations, it is far better to be exteroceptive.
An interoceptive exercise (a lot like meditation): focus all of your attention inward. Points of gravity, heartbeat, breathing, etc.
An exteroceptive exercise is a lot like practicing mindfulness. Focus all of your attention on a small object. (Pencil, water bottle, etc.)
Puberty is happening earlier because of higher body fat (and thus leptin levels.) It has been found that injecting leptin into pre-adolescants will start puberty.
Whether or not pheromones exist in humans is very controversial, but in Dr Huberman's viewpoint, it may exist.
There is a tendency in humans and other species that from the start to the end of puberty, they will start to drift away from caregivers and spend more time with friends.
Parents should not fear; this is a natural biological change for teenagers to want to spend less (but not no) time with them.
There are differences in right brain and left brain, but the stereotype that right is emotional and left is rational is wrong. There is no evidence for this.
Oxytocin promotes bonding, loyalty, etc.
Vitamin D and melatonin can increase oxytocin.
Vasopressin suppresses urination, increases memory, and creates feelings of love. Vasopressin can relate to whether or not humans participate in monogamy or non-monogomy.
The vagus nerve is a nerve that connects the brain to the heart, gut, immune system, etc. There is a myth that stimulating the vagus nerve will calm you.
Stimulation of the vagus nerve releases dopamine and increases alertness. It is a stimulant of alertness, the opposite of the myth.
This is a lot of content, equivalent to 2 or 3 college lectures.

perception 8:15
still tractable 9:05
10:53 where to look for
groundwork- infancy 14:00
anxiety- first feeling 15:21
17:31 "healthy" emotions
19:03 (tool) mood meter - predict feeling
not enough language 20:55
(i) "what is your level of autonomic arousal?" 21:22
(ii) "valence?" 22:00
(iii) "interocepting? exterocepting?" 22:28
24:00 emotions are for bonds and predictions
infact starting to exterocept 24:10
starting to predict 24:28
tool 2 27:40

What I’ve learned today: our emotions are always optimizing for our survival which is very empowering because:
1. Gives me a sense of trust that I’m always optimizing for my greatest good— especially when experiencing difficult emotions!
2. Helps me see that certain emotions have simply been running on autopilot because of conditioning, but now knowing their purpose, I can more easily remove judgement and seek to understand WHY these emotions surface and what I really need in those moments rather than being swept away by the emotion.
Really puts you in the driver’s seat.
Thank you Dr. Huberman! ❤️ I’m a weekly listener, reconstructing my life view week over week with the knowledge you share.

I never thought I would ever find neuroscience so interesting or be smart enough to understand it. These podcasts and tools have literally changed my life...the only way I can repay you is to share them with people, Thankyou Dr Huberman...my mesolimbic pathway goes crazy every Monday🤪 Keep em coming!
