Learning and Memory - Neural Structures

Neuroscience, psychology and data science merch! Book recommendations! A great way to support the channel and to help us to keep going is to check out our merch shop! My wife has created tons of really cool neuroscience, data science and psychology themed shirts, mugs and other gifts. You can also help the channel by checking out one of my favorite neuroscience books! If you’re like me though and don’t have time for a physical book then consider listening to one of these on Audible. You can get one of these for free by signing up for a free trial. Even if you cancel before the trial is up, our channel still gets some much needed support! On Intelligence: How a New Understanding of the Brain Will Lead to the Creation of Truly Intelligent Machines: The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers: How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed: Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School: The Owner’s Manual for the Brain: The Ultimate Guide to Peak Mental Performance at All Ages: Are you frustrated because you want to read as much as you can but you can never find the time to pick up a book? I noticed as I got older and busier that I was reading less and less every year. Audible was an absolute game changer! I was able to listen to all the books I wanted to and it was all during the down time moments where reading a physical book was impossible (driving my car, doing the dishes, out on a run, working in the yard..). In the last 5 years I’ve now listened a total of 4 months 20 days and 8 hours and have managed to listen to over 200 books. They do a free trial and give you your first book for free so give it a try and see if you get sucked in like I did. Consider checking out my udemy course on group dynamics and social psychology! If you enjoy my lectures than you might also enjoy my online course on group dynamics and the ways in which groups influence our behavior. This is the tenth lecture in the cognitive neuroscience course. So much of our agency and sense of purpose comes from our ability to recall the past and assign meaning to it. It allows us to learn from past mistakes and to act flexibly in the present. This is part two of two lectures that explore the cognitive basis for memory from the level of the individual cell up to the network properties that rely on memory to operate effectively and efficiently.
