What is the nervous system and why is it important?

Question

Could someone give a definition of the nervous system and its significance?

Answer 1

My entire career has been treating children and adults with neurological disorders and I still don't understand it all, and never will.  In the end, you will do well to live like your great grandparents:  eat whole food, sleep well, limit actions and people that harm you, get outside and active every single day.  Be kind, and be aware of how short and cruel life can be.

Answer 2

Andrew, first of all, love this new format. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Great first episode.

Answer 3

I’ve always wanted an episode on this. Would love one on the areas and functions of the nervous system

Answer 4

If you read book "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" you will exactly know what is Dr. Andrew talking about here. Modern industry is killing us quietly.

Answer 13

Whether it is 30min or 3hrs, i always found myself enjoying, learning science through Dr Huberman! Thank you so much sir! The first ever episode i ever tried of yours was on Meditation in which you covered a lot of things and particularly towards the end you had described breathing techniques.
I used them on my 5 day long treks in the Himalayas and I got my heart rate under control during steep ascents! I will be your fan forever! Thank you for incredible work and dumbing down details for people like me❤

Thank you for bringing all this fascinating science to the general public! You are appreciated!

Answer 17

It’s really helpful to know that agitation is normal when learning something new, or when trying to suppress negative responses or behaviors. I get really stressed about the stress or agitation I feel, if that makes sense, and often want to give up or give in. Thanks for explaining how it’s perfectly normal.

Answer 18

I am still learning and grasping about  4 stages of sleep, but nonetheless many of your lecture about how brain works is highly functional for my day by day life. Thank you dr Huberman
