Understand & Improve Memory Using Science-Based Tools | Huberman Lab Podcast #72

I had a very strange mutual deja vu experience when I met someone for the first time, but we both reacted as though we had definitely met before. We instantly smiled in happy, friendly recognition. We discussed everywhere we had ever been, but nothing matched. 🤔It happened 44 years ago, but I vividly remember that deja vu event.

I think there should be a podcast on Marijuana.

Did I'm only one who find him funny as well?

In Short: Learning and Memory is a Neural Skill
Notes: Increasing adrenaline promotes learning, decreasing reduces it. This was profound and is stated very clearly in this podcast. Memory occurs when things are repeated, and this changes the neruochemicals that are present during that experience. The more that you do something while you are focused (and have more adrenaline) the less you have to do something to learn it. I feel this idea is somewhat obvious and kind of the 'practice make perfect' mentality, but super cool to hear it explain mechanistically with neural circuits and neurotransmitters. Really helps to make concrete the idea that you can change how much/well you learn, which then gives us the autonomy to change our intelligence. Being smart isnt a trait, it’s a verb. This podcast then gives us some actionable tools you can try to improve your focus and learn better.

It would be very helpful if, sir, you could demonstrate some of your numerical explanations via a chart or graph... Appreciate your work

Damn! 10 minutes intro just spent on talking about your sponsors??

This is my first time listening to this podcast and the ads sound like sci-fi short stories to me 😅 A mattress that changes temperature and vibrates - the world is fascinating :)

you are the best, as always. thank you Dr.

I watched one hour and 4 minutes of this and this is what I have to say:

I have been clean for over 20 years. A drug is a drug is a drug. If you are addicted to Caffeine you are a junkie. If you are addicted to food you are a junkie. I am not going to ingest anything just to be able to study better and have better memory. Getting high is not the right choice.

That was epic

Hi Andy

Dear Andrew,
Is there any research on differences in brain of people who are good at remembering names vs those who struggle?

How the memory in giftness adults?

amazing podcast thanks so much very informative

I'm trying to research the Kapalabatti breathing techniques in Pranayama Yoga, which helps spike adrenaline, epinephrine and cortisol, can be used at the end of a learning session... Thanks Professor

I am apprehensive that an advertisement is coming.i hope not. If it does I'm out.

nah this dude has phd in yappology

This makes perfect sense. I am the type of person who gets super nervous in class. Like I am sweating scared I will not get the correct answer. When the teacher asked me a question so I read everything really closely. Check multiple times to see if my answer is correct. And I remember everything really good. But when I go home and study and I am calm, I can't remember as well.

If adrenaline post learning help solidify the learning, would using smelling salts achieve the same?

You just spent a whole minute to describe how the hippocampus looks like a two half-c cinnamon rolls stuffed halfway together

The fact that increase in dopamine after learning session is benificial and Your final call: "Thank You for Your interest in science!" sending chills down my spine every single time just means I have found my true inspiration for injesting knowledge!

Thank you for this amazing content!

Hey Huberman, you waste to much of my time your longwinded explanations. If you want your posts to be popular, you have to fix that!!! Do less explaning and more presentation of facts. Get your posts down to just a few minutes of valuable information and then shut up!!!

What I learned from this podcast -
1. Repetition of material or skill you want to learn can enhance your learning by making connection between your neurons stronger.
2. Any information triggering a strong emotion which can either be positive or negative helps to remember things better.
3. After learning a particular Information or a skill increase in certain chemicals like Adrenaline can helps us remembering things better, We can increase this Adrenaline rush by many ways like taking a ice bath, electrical shock, caffein or any other pharamlogy substance.
4. Taking a nap of 20-90 minutes can also be helpful to remember things better after learning a info or a skill and even after Adrenaline increase.
5. Doing cardiovascular exercise can also enhance our memory power. Its is recommendes to perform such exercise at least 180-200 minutes a week.
6. Can we also use photographic memory by clicking mental snapshots of that image,person or material,etc. To enhance our memory but at the same time it reduces our ability to remember sound at that moment.
7. Daily meditation of around 13-15 minutes can increase our focus, memory, attention and emotional control.

Can a machine remove one of your memories from distance? For instance, by sateline wave?

Just take Joe Rogan's Alpha-Brain supplements folks. It's not just urine dye, Joe adds essential oils to give your urine that calming contemplation inducing aromas. Change my mind. 💪🥃

I was going to watch this when it came out, but then i forgot

There is nothing new in this video.. so many precautions!! Very boring 2hours!! Most of time the information given here repetitive and useless!

Someone just explain to me ways to improve my memory

As an iranian who has no access to the international financial system I am extremely grateful for your work and effort on sharing zero cost science based information.
I would love to see an episode on the gut health and it effects on immune system and neorotransmiters.

What is your take on GLP 1 analogue, its benefits in the control of obesity and addiction
