The Interplay of Hierarchically Organized Centers in the Nervous System
1:12:58 - 1:20:06 (07:08)
This episode discusses the interplay of hierarchically organized centers in the nervous system, specifically the automatic sensors and centers, basal ganglia, and cerebral cortex when it comes to motor learning, skill execution, and behavior suppression or activation.
Clips
The brain has a hierarchical organization of different levels of cognitive and automatic sensors working simultaneously.
1:12:58 - 1:15:53 (02:55)
Summary
The brain has a hierarchical organization of different levels of cognitive and automatic sensors working simultaneously. There is a need for a bi-directional form of communication between the high-level centers and the reflexive centers that keep us safe despite not having time to think about it.

The basal ganglia are deep in the forebrain and play a crucial role in controlling go-type behavior and no-go-type behavior, instructing us to carry out actions and suppress undesired actions.

Summary
The basal ganglia are deep in the forebrain and play a crucial role in controlling go-type behavior and no-go-type behavior, instructing us to carry out actions and suppress undesired actions. These neural circuits play a significant role in attention and maintaining focus.

The marshmallow test, where children have to choose between receiving one marshmallow right away or waiting a short period of time to be rewarded with two marshmallows, is an example of delayed gratification.

Summary
The marshmallow test, where children have to choose between receiving one marshmallow right away or waiting a short period of time to be rewarded with two marshmallows, is an example of delayed gratification. Delayed gratification is the ability to resist the temptation of an immediate reward in exchange for a larger payout at a later time, and it is associated with increased activity in the cortex.
