HUMAN BRAIN | Everything You Need To Know | The Dr Binocs Show | Peekaboo Kidz

oh no that was close [Music] thank you Doctor oh no little kitty don't thank me instead thanks to my brain oh hello friends Yes you heard it right the reason we can do all these awesome things in our lives is due to an essential organ in our body called the brain so today let us learn about this vital subject that helps us to learn about the vital subjects and explore the amazing world of the brain zoom in brain is basically the boss of your body as it controls everything you do things like learning thinking feeling

dancing even breathing and your heart rate it's due to your brain you can pull pranks on your siblings and friends and you won't believe but not even super computers can match its powerful ability to download understand and react to the volume of information coming to you through your senses so how does the brain manage all this different parts of your brain control different functions so let us start with a larger spot called the cerebrum that takes up to 85 percent of your brain it's actually the thinking part of your brain and controls your muscles it's

due to the cerebrum you can walk dance play games and most importantly learn about various subjects on the Dr boynock show isn't it cool friends next comes a relatively small portion but an essential part of your brain called the cerebellum which helps you to maintain your balance and regulates motor movements that means without the cerebellum you would be falling all over the place now comes a small bottom Mighty force to be reckoned with the brain stem that is connected to the spinal cord it controls those areas of your body that you don't need to work

on like breathing maintaining your heart rate digesting food Etc without us even knowing about it then comes a little almond-shaped area of your brain called the amygdala it is responsible for emotions survival instincts and helps to store memories of events wow a small part with big responsibilities trivia time did you know that your brain generates about 12 to 25 watts of electricity that is enough to power a low voltage LED light also scientists have recently discovered that for a period of time after you have exercised your body produces a chemical that makes your brain more

willing to learn so if you're stuck on some difficult homework go out and run play or exercise around for a while then tackle the problem again you might discover that you're much more able to solve it until next time it's me Dr binox zooming out foreign [Music] please stop playing the drum it's hurting my years thanks for stopping Kitty the sound was giving me a headache but is it due to the noise coming out of the drum or is there any other Factor behind it in fact the most important question is what causes headaches in

the first place hey friends in today's episode let us explore this painful topic and answer the aching question that we all should know about that is what causes headaches zoom in so friends I'm sure most of us suffer from headaches now and then it is the kind of pain we feel in our head and upper neck although it may feel as if your brain is hurting a lot but despite the widespread belief headaches aren't the pain in your brain as it does not have the receptors to feel the pain yes headaches are actually away through

which our brain tells us when other parts of our body hurt so what causes this pain well this type of pain generally arises in the nerves blood vessels and muscles around your head and neck and sometimes these muscles or blood vessels swell or tighten putting pressure on the nerves that send a rush a pain messages to the brain resulting in a headache [Music] there are two common types of headaches people generally suffer from namely tension headaches and migraines Tension Headache feels like a tight band tied around the forehead and is caused due to contraction of

the muscle in the head and neck region and intensity of pain is dull whereas migraines are an extremely painful headache that is accompanied by nausea or vomiting and sensitivity to lights and sounds and if you think your headache may be migraines do visit your doctor if needed to treat your pain who can prescribe medicine to help control the headaches but sometimes all you need is relaxation exercises or changes in your diet or better sleeping habits to prevent tension and migraine headaches in the first place trip your time did you know many foods contain chemicals that

can trigger migraines and possibly other types of headaches yes Chinese food which may contain monosodium glutamate AKA MSG and sugar-free Foods sweetened with aspartum or sucralose could be the reason behind those headaches in some people so it's essential to track what you eat in a journal to sort it out also ice cream headaches are no myth you really can get them from eating this frozen dessert this is caused by blood vessel spasms which are caused by the intense cold from the ice cream the spasms interrupt the blood flow and cause the vessels to swell hope

you enjoyed today's episode until next time it's me Dr binox zooming out oh never mind mm-hmm [Music] oh slow down little kitty eating ice cream so fast could lead to brain freeze hey friends have you ever wondered why you get a brain cramp every time you gulp down those tasty icy cold drinks and ice creams well in today's episode let us explore the shocking answer behind this painful sensation and find the answer to a chilly question why do we get a brain freeze zoom in hey friends I'm sure we all must have experienced brain freeze

at some point of time in life it is also known as ice cream headache or spenophileting ganglion neuralgia which means pain in the nerves in your face the roof of your mouth and around your sinuses gosh don't know about the brain freeze but that name will surely give a headache to many oh so coming back to the most important question why do we get it does our brain hate to eat ice cream or other cold stuff well I'm sure it does not because there is a neurological reason behind the shocking phenomenon so let us see

what that is well imagine you open the refrigerator and you see a Divine scoop of ice cream right in front of you waiting to be eaten by you and only you but suddenly you hear your sibling marching down the staircase and You Yank the ice cream and quickly eat a spoonful of it faster than the speed of light but suddenly everything around your face and head starts to feel squeezed as your brain gets frozen for a moment and you get a brain freeze but why is that that's because when you sip an icy drink or

consume ice cream super fast the temperature in the back of your throat drops rapidly that has two essential nerves behind it the first is the internal carotid artery which feeds blood to the brain and the other is the anterior cerebral artery which is where the brain tissue starts and one thing your brain doesn't appreciate much is a sudden change in the temperature and when the cold hits it causes expansion and contraction of these arteries causing a sudden change in the blood flow and that's the Sensation that the brain interprets as a type of pain we

call brain freeze so now you know the reason behind that headache that comes and goes that comes and goes oops sorry but the question remains how do we avoid getting these headaches and what we should do when it occurs well there are two ways to deal with it first is the easy way and the other is the most difficult thing to apply the easier method is you can push your tongue up to the roof of your mouth because it can help to normalize the temperature in your mouth and the difficult thing is to stop eating

ice cream and other cold stuff at all which I think isn't really necessary because brain freeze isn't deadly and it goes away as quickly as it comes so go ahead and enjoy that ice cream trivia time did you know brain freeze is one of the most common types of headaches experienced yes it affects between 5.9 percent and 74 percent of adults and around 79 of children [Music] also some research shows that people who experience brain freeze also tend to experience migraines hope you enjoyed today's episode until next time it's me Dr binox zooming out [Music]

oh never mind [Music] oh what happened oh you meant you passed the test congratulations on it but for a moment I felt like someone screamed that you passed out or fainted yes little kitty fainting is pretty common amongst humans hey friends so in today's episode let me explain this biological phenomenon by answering a head-turning question why do we think zoom in I'm sure most of us must have seen scenes from movies where people faint after hearing some bad news or smelling dirty salts even in day-to-day life we often find people passing out due to lack

of food or poor health but what exactly is happening to their bodies during such a moment well to know that first we need to understand what exactly is fainting fainting medically known as Cinco is a temporary loss of consciousness it happens because our brain stops receiving enough oxygen-rich blood to continue its daily activities and loses the normal state of being awake and understanding what is happening around us now there are multiple factors behind this loss of consciousness but the most common reason is a drop in blood pressure due to a strong vasovagal response often triggered

by a reaction to something that shocks us this reflex is named after the vagus nerve which runs from your brain to your heart lungs and digestive tract the job of the weakest nerve is to stabilize the blood pressure when we are shocked or frightened which leads to an increase in heart rate shooting up the blood pressure but sometimes these nerves malfunction and reduce the blood pressure more than normal leading to a lack of blood supply to our brain resulting in a brief loss of consciousness or fainting besides reacting to the sight of something that scares

you or having an intense emotional reaction some other triggers can also cause a vasovagal syncope which includes getting overheated standing for a long time intense physical activity Etc so it's vital to know the early signs of fainting to avoid making things worse and what are the signs well if someone is about to faint they will show symptoms such as dizziness lightheadedness paleness vision changes cost or irregular heartbeat sweating and vomiting and when that happens immediately stop doing whatever you are involved in and if possible lie down on the floor this can help prevent a fainting

attack letting blood get to the brain and once you feel better please stand up slowly but to prevent fainting in the first place make sure to keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day also it's vital to keep your blood circulating by moving around whenever possible playing outside doing regular exercise and avoiding sitting in one place for a longer period and whenever you feel anxious slowly breathe into a paper bag to stabilize the emotions and blood pressure remember my friends if you've only fainted once it was brief and the reasons are obvious

then there's usually no need to worry about it but if it happens regularly then it's crucial to make an appointment with your doctor trivia time did you know compared to younger adults Cinco occurs up to twice as often in adults older than 70 and up to four times as often in adults over the age of 80. also syncope accounts for two to six percent of emergency room visits and four percent of Hospital admissions every year hope you learned something new today until next time it's me Dr binox zooming out foreign [Music] oh are you okay

little kitty yes oh no I think the injury on your head is causing you to stutter [Music] yes Kitty stuttering or stammering is an interruption in the flow of speech that many kids go through while growing up hey friends I'm sure a lot of us must have faced this speech Disorder so in today's episode let us look at the signs behind it and answer a crucial question what causes stuttering zoom in so what is stuttering it is a type of disfluency in the flow of speech that can make the person repeat certain syllables words phrases

or even drag out part of a word children and even adults who stumble know what they have to say but the words just don't come out easily but the vital question is what causes this stuttering amongst us well so far researchers aren't entirely sure why some people stutter but most believe that certain factors contribute to it such as a problem with the way the brain's message interacts with the muscles and body parts needed for speaking you see humans have a remarkable ability to share their thoughts through speech and language and to make this stalking process

smooth two parts of the brain called wernicus Avia and Broca's area play a crucial role in it yes the vanicus area is said to be located in the temporal lobe on the left side of the brain region although the exact location of this region is still debatable but what we surely know is that this area is essential for language development and helps us choose the right words while expressing our views and once thought is coded into language the Brokers area in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere of the brain gets activated this region then

sends the message to the muscles that control speech telling them to move and make the right sounds come out then the mouth face neck gun and throat muscles move to form words and that's how we can smoothly communicate but in some cases this process doesn't work perfectly if a brain stroke or injury either damages the broker's area or reduces the blood flow in this part of the brain due to this the brain finds it hard to send a signal to the speech muscles which causes a person to stammer while speaking the first signs of stuttering

tend to appear when a child is about 18 to 24 months old as the brain is still developing and in many cases it goes away on its own by the age of five but if someone continues to stutter after the age of five it is recommended to talk to your doctor or a speech language therapist also remember my friends if someone you know stutters it does not mean that they are less bright by any means in fact they are intelligent as anyone who speaks fluently and you won't believe many individuals who have the speech disorder

went on to achieve Great Heights in life some of them are the legendary singer Elvis Presley legendary actor Rowan Atkinson and the legendary naturalist who gave us the theory of evolution none other than Charles Darwin trip your time did you know stuttering is more common in boys than girls singing is an effective method to generating more fluent speech in individuals who stutter hope you learned something new in today's episode until next time it's me Dr binox zooming out [Music] thank you foreign [Music] never mind Hey friends let me ask you a very interesting question today

what do Albert Einstein Walt Disney Steven Spielberg tear out nightly have in common think not sure well the answer is that they are very famous successful and dyslexic and what is that in today's episode let us learn about this neurological condition called dyslexia and spread awareness about it amongst our friends and family zoom in [Music] we live in a world full of unique and different people people with different eyes hair skin that gives us distinctive personalities and functionalities but there is one element that we all possess that looks the same but functions differently and that

is our brain that can see and understand the world differently for different people one of those ways is through the perspective of Dyslexia that affects our ability to read spell write and speak clearly unfortunately people with dyslexia are often misunderstood as not so intelligent but remember my friends that is not the case at all as it has nothing to do with intelligence and it's just their brains finding it challenging to process specific tasks at a reasonable speed yes my friends despite having normal and even high intelligence a dyslexic person may show certain symptoms such as

difficulty in remembering the right names for things problems with directions like telling right from left or up from down they may need more thinking time to remember the right word and for some it could be challenging to hold a pen or write by hand and much more but the main problem in dyslexia is trouble recognizing phonemes for example the basic sounds of speech like B in bad and B in bad are often mixed with one another but the most crucial question is what makes a dyslexic person so unique well to know that we need to

enter their brain to analyze the whole situation as we know the brain is divided into two parts the left hemisphere takes care of processing the language and is the more academic and logical side of the brain and the right hemisphere is the more artistic and creative side of the brain scientists have studied that brains of those with dyslexia rely more on the right side of the brain and frontal lobe as compared to the brains of non-dyslexic people this means when they read a word it takes a longer route through their brain and can get delayed

on the frontal lobe and because of this neurological condition they find it challenging to undertake tasks depending on the left hemisphere of the brain such as Reading Writing solving math problems Etc [Music] but here is the good news a person with dyslexia may see things differently but it could really work in their favor as well yes even though they struggled with reading they can be very good with painting inventing things singing telling stories and making people laugh and eventually just like many other successful and revolutionary dyslexics they have the ability to see the bigger picture

trivia time did you know the word dyslexia comes from two Greek words this which means difficulty and Lexus which refers to language or words also the dyslexic brain is actually larger and typically much more creative than the average brain remember my friends next time if you see your friends or family members struggling with reading or writing make sure to understand their situation and help them to realize that it's absolutely okay to be that way don't tease them or bully them because you never know you might be looking at tomorrow's Einstein or Da Vinci or goofy

Goldberg or even better their unique self that has the power to change the world think about it until next time it's me Dr binox zooming out where is it where did I keep it what you love me well do you remember where I kept my specs [Music] hmm I keep forgetting a lot lately I think I should get myself tested for Alzheimer's [Music] well that information I do thoroughly remember so in today's episode let us try to understand this forgetful question what is Alzheimer's disease zoom in forgetting is a part of everyone's life and it

gets more common as we grow old but on some rare occasions after the age of 60 this forgetfulness turns into a severe disorder called Alzheimer's a condition that permanently affects the brain yes in this state the affected person starts to lose memory and can even forget the names and faces of close ones they also lose their thinking skills and the capacity to carry out easy tasks like how to tie a shoelace they even see or hear things that are not there lose their way have trouble sleeping or say the same things over and over all

this is a very unfortunate state to be in and can cause them to become frustrated and angry with you for no reason however it is very important to know that they do not mean to treat you badly it's just that Alzheimer's disease makes the person act in this unfortunate way but the vital question is what causes this disease in the first place around 1901 Dr Alloys Alzheimer a German psychiatrist had a female patient with an unusual mental illness after she passed away he decided to examine her brain and saw many misfolded proteins called plagues and

bundles of fibers called neurofibrillary tangles these misfolded proteins are responsible for breaking down the brain structure by blocking signals and Communications between cells they also begin an immune reaction that causes the collapse of disabled nerve cells because of which the brain can't process or store the information properly another major reason behind Alzheimer's disease is a component of neurofibrillary triangles called Tor its job is to hold together the microtubes that pass the food molecules to other parts of the brain but in Alzheimer's Tor gets unstuck from the tube which leads to its disintegration stopping food nutrients

from reaching the brain cells which ultimately destroys them but there is still a lot we don't know about this condition because of which we are yet to find a cure for this unfortunate mental illness and all we can do is help slow it down on the good side scientists believe that exercising eating healthy meditation and keeping your mind active by playing puzzles May help delay the start of Alzheimer's disease and here is the most important part my friends if anyone you know is suffering from this condition they might act strange at times but remember that

it is not anyone's fault there so please be kind to them try to be patient and show more love trivia time did you know that more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's yes and by 2050 this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million hope you learned something new today until next time it's me Dr binox zooming out [Music] where are my specs [Music] never mind [Music] oh no you sound slurred let me take you to the hospital phew I hope everything is okay with Kitty as difficulty in speech can signify a

brain stroke so by the time the vet checks her let me explain the reasons behind it by answering a life-saving question what causes a brain stroke zoom in now so what is a stroke a stroke also known as a brain attack happens when the blood flow to the brain stops even if it's for a second it is one of the most common causes of natural Fatality and the leading cause of preventable disability but the critical question is what causes stroke in the first place well for that first it's essential to know a little something about

our brain you see a brain makes up just two percent of our body's must but as it runs your nervous system it consumes around 20 percent or about a fifth of the total oxygen in your blood but this oxygen is sent to the brain through a system of arteries cartoid arteries Supply oxygen to the front side of the brain while vertebral arteries Supply the oxygen to the back [Music] but it's essential to know that this oxygen is carried to the brain by our blood vessels so in case the blood flow stops the brain cells begin

to die leading to brain stroke which can happen in two ways namely the hemorrhagic stroke and the ischemia stroke in hemorrhagic stroke a blood vessel breaks flooding the brain with blood and damaging brain cells whereas in ischemia a clot in the arteries blocks the blood supply from reaching the brain but the vital question is where do these clots come from well in some cases a sudden change in heartbeats prevents the upper chamber of the heart from Contracting normally this change in Rhythm slows down the blood pressure which allows things like fibrin platelets and clotting factors

who stick together and become a lump [Music] this lump can get into the arteries supplying blood and oxygen to the brain and if the clot is big enough it can get stuck on the way cutting the blood supply and no blood supply means no oxygen can reach the brain and as the brain does not have pain receptors the person does not feel the blockage but this lack of oxygen begins to affect brain functions and depending on the area of stroke the person will show certain symptoms like slowed speech blurred vision and sudden weakness often in

just one side of the body and if no help arrives on time the brain cells will start to die leading to brain damage that may be severe or permanent that's why if you see anyone with said symptoms consider it as a medical emergency and take them to the hospital ASAP over there the doctor will give them a medication called tissue plasminogen activator that can break apart the blood clot and allow blood supply like before if given on time this medication can decrease the chances of getting a stroke and if for some reason the patient can't

be given the drug then the doctor can perform surgery to remove the clot from the affected artery [Music] remember my friends stroke can happen to anyone so it's essential to stay healthy by eating well exercising regularly and meditating to reduce stress true or time did you know someone in the world has a stroke every two seconds and about 87 percent of all Strokes are ischemic Strokes hope you learned something critical today until next time it's me Dr binox zooming out foreign [Music] never mind [Music]
