Inside the Feeling Brain: Dr. Scott Russo demonstrates #thebrain's #rewardcircuit
#InsideTheFeelingBrain explores the neurobiology of emotion to understand how the brain adapts to stress. In this clip, Dr. Scott Russo demonstrates #thebrain's #rewardcircuit. "This nucleus accumbens and VTA circuit is what we call the reward circuit. This is what's hijacked by drugs of abuse. This is what's active when you eat a piece of chocoate, or have s*x."
It’s important to note that every emotional disorder has an organic basis. Anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, and other neurophysiological conditions are no less physiological than chronic disease patients like cancer, diabetes, or heart disease.
Cutting-edge #biomedical findings that drive home the link between #brainfunction, #emotion, #behavior, and #health.
Axon Guidance in Olfaction with Dr. Stuart Firestein
#AxonGuidance -- How do cells expressing a particular receptor, let's say for banana, all find their way back to the brain, to plug into the brain in the right place so that when you smell a banana it smells like a banana, and not a rose?

The Feeling Brain. Discover the Neural Basis of Emotion
“One of the most fundamental misconceptions is that part of our brain is emotional and needs to be overcome by the rational, civilized parts of our brain, when in fact thought and emotion are inseparable," says Dr. Jay N. Giedd of the National Institute for Mental Health.
The Feeling Brain series hits home for all viewers with its focus on how a three-and-a-half-pound organ gives rise to the feelings we all experience every day of our lives. But, it goes even further by highlighting research that is beginning to reveal how and why our emotional lives may enrich our experiences or turn against us and those we love.
There have been other shows about the brain. What makes this series unique?
It’s not about the brain. It’s not about psychiatry. It bridges the huge gap between—how does one get from brain to behavior and treatment on the basis of evidence? We’re sitting on decades of substantive research in the emotion sciences, along with available established and experimental therapies for improving patient care and outcomes. There is a huge void in medical education regarding the neural basis of emotion that we must address - our series highlights how discoveries in neuroscience can impact and improve the ability of clinicians to recognize mental illness in patients that might otherwise be overlooked.
Our first broadcast episodes and CME course provides a direct connection between what neuroscientists are learning about the basis of emotion and what doctors and other medical practitioners can do to improve both the diagnosis of emotional disorders and the ultimate outcome of treatment.
The Feeling Brain Series delivers a compelling account of how the emotions we experience in everyday life emerge from the otherwise invisible and inaccessible processes of the brain. Through presentations by engaging neuroscientists at the leading edge of their fields, the series reveals what those processes are and how they can go awry, resulting in a descent into the throes

What makes us feel emotion?
The Feeling Brain Will Advance Medical Education Dramatically
Only 2% of doctors get 2 days of mental health training globally... Startling, but true. Education is outdated if anecdotal, and no CME exists on the neural basis of emotion, until now.

But, it goes even further by highlighting research that is beginning to reveal how and why our emotional lives may turn against us and those we love.
The Feeling Brain series is the first course for continuing medical education (CME) and broadcast exploring the neural basis of emotion. We've filmed the first 10 episodes and need your help to complete post production - please join us at thefeelingbrain.org!
