Most of these questions are clearly people seeking a specific one-word answer for a homework assignment. That's what's going on with all the questions that ask -which neurotransmitter- or -which nervous system- etc.
That the actual neuroscientist isn't rattling off one-word answers and instead keeps discussing how various factors interact, instead, kind of demonstrates a major problem with how we teach science (and assess knowledge about it. Over the years I've encountered so many science teachers who would mark a more complete answer to a badly posed question as incorrect because they wanted the students to give a standardized one-word (and thus usually very incomplete or even incorrect) answer.

Migraine are caused by sensations of the surrounding tissues in the brain like the meninges and blood vessels. Sometime stress can increase b/p or pulse which expand vessel walls and meninges. This sends a signal to the brain and its perceived as pain which are some neurotransmitters like serotonin, glutamate and ACTH/Cortisol. The word -stress- isn-t always referred to as a worried state of mind. Stress can be a physical state of the body, like reading or pore posture. The muscles can get fatigued which causes a referred pain pattern via cranial nerves, to different parts of the head.

Sometimes not sleep, not eating right, a subluxation of the vertebrae within the neck or dehydration can cause migraines. Try breathing exercises, drinking some pedialyte with water or see a chiropractor. They do more than just help with back pain. Adjustments are the only thing that will help me. I walked in to my chiropractor-s office crying one day and he adjusted my upper neck and the pain went away with in the hour. I was so thankful i teared up and went back to his office to thank him

If you're wondering why she sounds heistant with her answers, its because her pHd is in philosophy, not neuroscience. She DID study for a neuroscience pHD in the early 00s but stopped to continue acting, and then when she went back to school she got her pHd in philosophy.

I strive to be this casual yet informative when talking about anything of expertise. I mean, she can just go all PhD in neuroscience on us but she kept it layman, without making us feel dumb.
When she don't know, she kept it honest too. Such a humble person -

What I really love about her speech is that she-s really explaining things the way people can understand. She doesn-t just give you some scientific expression and move on to next question. That is not really that common among scientists: )

Nicotine is very interesting in the nervous system. It binds to nicotinic receptors. Yes, those nicotinic receptors which also act as acetylcholine receptors. Just thank god we also have muscarinic receptors for cholinergic synapses as well.

The question about how to take care of your nervous system just made me feel bad for my nervous system --
Edit: fun fact: I can't pass a roadside sobriety test 100% sober because I have damage to my cerebellum.

When she was explaining about why neurotransmitters are important I started to realized I am a person listening about neuroscience in another language that is not my mothertongue and still being all involved. Amazing.

I would like this better if I did not know she was a believer and a zionist. How can you be so smart and so silly at the same time? Only when all people are treated equally can we have a truly enlightened world.
