How the Brain Works: Activating Different Areas of the Brain
24:41 - 42:06 (17:25)
Neurons in different areas of the brain are activated or inhibited in a certain sequence, resulting in different behaviors, feelings, or perception. The idea of a single brain area controlling one aspect of human activities is misleading.
Clips
Specific brain areas activate or inhibit other regions in a particular sequence, ultimately leading to certain behaviors or feelings.

Summary
Specific brain areas activate or inhibit other regions in a particular sequence, ultimately leading to certain behaviors or feelings. However, no single brain area controls a single perception, behavior, or feeling state.

The effect of increasing serotonin, dopamine or epinephrine on mental or physical performance depends upon the background level of these neurotransmitters, which vary according to the phase of the day.
36:55 - 42:06 (05:11)
Summary
The effect of increasing serotonin, dopamine or epinephrine on mental or physical performance depends upon the background level of these neurotransmitters, which vary according to the phase of the day. We need to focus on controlling dopamine, epinephrine, serotonin and acetylcholine in phase one and phase two of the day to achieve specific goals.
