Unexpected Discovery of Microbiome Inside Our Brains But Why Is It There?

Bacteria in Antons brain: "Hello Wonderful person!"

"Mindblowing" is a descriptor I'm uncomfortable associating with anything that lives in my skull.

Brings new meaning to, "I've got something on my mind."

Dentists really need to start be putting in as part of general healthcare...

Bacterial Burden could be a band name

I've got an anecdote. I used to get severe panic attacks with chest problems. It was only when I fed my gut bacteria with loads of yogurt, basically taking probiotics, that I noticed the attacks would subside indefinitely. Chobani yogurt is now a part of my diet. Microbiology was my major so this is all very interesting to me.

I’m glad I learned it from you that we may all be zombie puppets of bacteria. The kindest voice online.

Damn, they've spotted us! Abandon the host bodies!!!

I think the end result of this kind of investigation will be: 1.) The systematic sampling of various bacteria from the bodies of the very long lived, those with greatest cognition in old age, those with the most resilient digestive systems, those with the largest lung capacity, etc etc etc. 2.) These samples will be cultured and refined over decades to create optimal bacteria for every portion of the human body. 3.) Children will have their intestines/mouths/brains/etc inoculated with all the different refined bacteria strains. 4.) Humans will become healthier, longer lived, with greater cognition in old age, with fewer digestive problems and allergies, among many other benefits.

And now I want a “I am a bacterial generation ship” t-shirt!

I think we need to find a way to inform our microbiome that we intend to be cremated after death. That would motivate the bacteria to ensure we don’t die. Immortality achieved!

It seems that the more we learn, the more we realize how little we know...

I was scared that the lady was going to eat Anton... 😮😂😂

We're all amalgamations of our environments. Of society and culture, of our families, of our education and our relationships. Microbiomes are just another amalgamation.

This is a revolution in health care tbh

Proof we all have dirty minds

I recall reading (somewhere) about a connection between dental plaque buildup and heart disease/attack. Brush and floss those puppies!

"We are Legion, for we are many" It is cool to think that we each one an "individual", but yet, we are so many creatures, so many in our bodies coexisting and living, even influencing bodily processes, it boggles my mind, we are one, but many.

We are an ecosystem.

I love how all of your recent videos have gone right down the rabbit hole! So many things I may have never heard about otherwise. Thank you kind person! 😊
