Cocaine vs Sugar What's more addictive: Cocaine or Sugar? In the video we collaborate with Health Chronicle to bring you the answer. Check out their fun health animations https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSPr6DPtJISy8DL9eGAIiyAIn 2007, Researchers at the University of Bordeaux conducted a study where They equipped rat cages with two levers: one lever gave the rats an intravenous hit of cocaine; the other gave them 20 seconds to drink sugar water. Before beginning the tests, rats were allowed to sample each lever twice to see how they liked it. Once the test began, 94% of rats chose the sugar-sweetened water. Interestingly, rats still preferred the sweetened water even when researchers gradually increased the cocaine dose.When comparing the brains of food addicts to cocaine addicts side by side, the similarities are undeniable. FMRI scans of the brains activity reveal A massive spike in dopamine upon initial craving - high levels of anticipation, but low levels of satisfaction on consumption. Basically, Food addicts want sugar more than they actually enjoy eating it.If you enjoy our animations and want to see more, please support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AfterSkool Every little bit helps!For more interesting videos, please subscribe To get the After Skool Graphic Novel check out our new website https://www.afterskool.net/ Follow the podcast for new episodes.

He has made numerous significant contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills and cognitive functioning.Huberman is a McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Cogan Award in 2017, given to the scientist making the most significant discoveries in the study of vision.

The podcast is often ranked in the global top 10. It is often ranked #1 in Science, Education, and Health and Fitness.In this video, Dr. Andrew Huberman explains Growth Mindset and how feedback affects performance. Feedback that is linked to identity (smart, talented, athletic) are actually detrimental to performance. Feedback that is linked to effort (you are so persistent, you never give up) enhances performance because it rewards the effort rather than the identity.This research is from Dr. Carol S. Dweck, an American psychologist who holds the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professorship of Psychology at Stanford University.Listen to Dr. Andrew Huberman's full presentation on Growth Mindset https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQDOU3hPci0&t=4074s Subscribe to the Huberman Lab Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@UC2D2CMWXMOVWx7giW1n3LIgAnd please subscribe to After Skool for more insightful animations.
