  You helped to solve a twenty seven year old mystery for me around the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDlDirzOSI8&amp;t=420">7:00</a> mark- I witnessed a guy at a party, while he was under the influence of alcohol, put a lampshade on his head, pull his pants down, and he started to sing very loudly...it could have been very easily explained by science. Thanks for that! Thanks, informative video.

  Thank you for this video ! I was fascinated to learn that the overstimulation of the amygdala results in raised anger/violence/ fear/anxiety but it’s destruction results in hyperorality, hypersexuality and disinhibited behaviour. This is relevant to people with cluster B personality disorders i.e., narcissistic personality, antisocial personality, borderline and histrionic personality disorder; these are all disorders of mood and erratic behaviour. HPD, for instance, would have patients both anxious/ fearful, disinhibited and hypersexual which suggests there may be separate functional structures in the amygdala controlling certain aspects of emotional regulation, i.e., anger/fear, hypersexuality, disinhibition. Very Interesting stuff.

  Every time my brain processes a video about how the brain works i go through this feeling of absolute mind fuck. I don&apos;t even know how to explain what my limbic brain goes through when it realises it&apos;s processing a video about the limbic brain.
