>> The default mode network, the task networks, and the dopamine circuits.

From https://youtu.be/hFL6qRIJZ_Y?t=1714:

> An area called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex ... the posterior cingulate cortex, and ... the lateral parietal lobe ... these are three brain areas that normally are synchronized in their activities ... that's how it is in a typical person. In a person with ADHD ... these brain areas are not playing well with each other.

I wonder if part of the problem might be the usage of text to speech. Did you consider scraping the transcriptions instead? e.g. with https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api

It uses Whisper for transcripts, which I believe are better than the YouTube generated ones.

My guess is that there are more relevant results from the semantic search than I'm including in the context (to reduce costs) and that exact snippet isn't being given to the answering model as context.

As I wrote here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34035123, I also wrote a tool to access them. I'm pretty sure there are English transcripts which are manually generated, not just the YouTube generated ones. I've always found them to be high quality, enough to make a book out of.
For Huberman Podcast I imagine he pays someone to do the annotations manually, so they're accurate. But on most videos I've found Whisper's annotations to be more accurate than YouTube's default annotations - not to bash YouTube's, they're still great but occasionally you get some weird annotations
