You Are Your Synapses: How Your Brain Builds Your Identity
This video explores Joseph LeDoux's groundbreaking book, "The Synaptic Self," which argues that your personality, memories, and sense of self are literally built from the connections between your brain cells. LeDoux reveals how genes and experiences shape these synaptic links, why your emotional reactions can bypass conscious thought, and how mental disorders are actually wiring problems in specific circuits. You'll learn why changing your habits or healing from trauma is a physical process of rewiring your brain. Perfect for anyone curious about neuroscience, psychology, or what makes you uniquely you.
