-----------------------------------------
Brain scans enable Psychologists and Neuroscientists to look inside the brain without having to open the patient's skull. In this video we cover four key types of brain scan that every Psychology student needs to know:
1) Computerised Tomography (CT) Scans
2) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans
3) Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Scans
4) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scans

[@colingamble5907]

told me what i needed to know in short and concise detail, and works well on 2x speed. bravo

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

2x speed - that's a great trick! Thanks!

[@King_Oasis]

you just saved me from failing my test amazing video man keep it up!

[@arundhatisharma4479]

I teach ESL and EAL students. I like that you have modulated your voice and spoken slowly so that it is easier to follow. great video

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Thank you so much :)

[@hbhargavnaidu6025]

SPECT - Single-photon emission computed tomography is missing.

[@derekmarshall6427]

Very easy to understand! I'm not even a student! I'm a patient doing my own research for upcoming appointments!

[@renewyourmindtransformyour4917]

Phenomenal job! Clearly explained in a simple manner 👌🏾

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Thank you :)

[@shiningstar8261]

Having a psychology major, if I apply to a PhD program in which I'll have to do research on psychology and MRI, for example, looking into areas of Brain of people with anxiety through MRI. Then will I have to learn MRI deeply? Like physics and all technical stuff?

[@senseofmindshow]

Great video! Another important set of technologies concerns 'listening to' rather than imaging the brain, like single/multi unit recording. I wonder if it's possible to combine more traditional imaging with these types of experiments to get functional data that is more temporally precise.

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Oh yes, that's a really good point. It does show how we are so visual-centric in our thinking that this can get in the way of us "seeing" alternative, sometimes better, approaches. Thanks for your comment!

[@revaparanjape3742]

so helpful!

[@DestineChinae]

this video is brilliant. I have exam on some of this stuff next week

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Thank you so much! I'm pleased it's helpful! Good luck with your exam!

[@UraniumGirl]

Nice video! As a student of medical physics, I have one note CT = Computed Tomography (it is more accurate, because one image reconstruction requires bunch of computations).

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Thanks Anna!

[@vijaygk-zj6tl]

I thought mri and pet is more advanced and accurate

[@nellydatruth4205]

I need this done

[@DiagoSilva]

NICE VIDEO (really stimulated my Visual/Audio Cortex that traveled down my mid brain and traversed the Limbic system into LongTermMEM) Hi, How does the Endocrine System work? Does it include Sexual Arousal and as mammals can our Sex Organs be stimulated without sexual thought? Can Infrared Tech be utilized as electrodes?

[@GM-ev2kb]

Clear explanation. Thank you....

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Thanks for your comment :)

[@ReekuKun]

شكراً دكتور سعد

[@asmitachaudhuri3718]

I am studying Brain and Language relationship ( Neurolinuistics) and it was really helpful for me.

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Thank you! Enjoy your studies!

[@bigunhettiarachchi853]

Very helpful 😌😍

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Thank you!

[@artwoodson5451]

I love this video very clear thank you so much

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Thank you for your comment :) I'm pleased you like the video!

[@user-eq9bi8cw4f]

kindly detail discussion on major tools of biological psychology

[@hainress]

Why are they so expensive 🥲 when is it going to be reasonable

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

An excellent question!

[@lucasphillips2177]

Big pharma

[@superman-wq9ij]

When is house prices becoming cheaper?

[@boabglen]

Can the pet ct scan be used to help with mental health issues?

[@CynthiaWallach]

how can you tell if you have ADD with one of these machines and do you know about Dr.Amem spect machine

[@jasminealana1904]

Goood question. I've been in contact with Dr. Amen's clinic, and unfortunately there are no facilities near me. They can provide some information but I really need the actual scan to get actual information. What I like, and what I've heard, is not only can a SPECT scan evaluate what part of the brain might be dysfunctional, it can also provide info about what meds may help treat the brain instead of just hitting darts on the wall. I've been trying meds for years. Nothing has helped. Except maybe the ones they're limited in dispensing such as dextroamphetamine and Clonazepam. Another rant for another time. The machine is SUPER expensive but man, if it could detect and help my anxiety and all the them diagnosis...I'd do about anything to get the cash cuz I highly doubt my insurance will cover it. Anyway I'm looking into as well and other scans that are covered by my insurance, so maybe I'll get there someday. One time, I told my psychiatrist would like to donate my live brand to science lmao use it to perhaps help another even if it cost me my life cuz I was no longer interested in living. He kicked me out 😄 mid-session lol that's not an easy feat 🤣 Interesting topic you brought up and I hope we get some solutions. Quickly.

[@roshisayadi7461]

What does it mean when MRI is showing an equivocal increase signal in the right hippocampus? Is that a bad thing?

[@maximilyen]

Great

[@heythem2337]

Hey why there was a pair of shoes appearing at 1:30 from nowhere ? All my brain attention is hold into that question i think we need to brain scan me to delineate the reason of the shoes focus !

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

🤣 go to 1:12 and you'll get your answer! The shoes indicate when we're talking about a structural scan and the runner signifies when we're talking about a functional scan. Structural - what does some look like? Functional - what does something do?

[@medicalliz440]

so what? how?

[@DeeDeeLecter]

🤔 on the other hand, sir... one question .. so ... i believe psychology is good but thy forget a lot of things... like small things, atoms and nanobots and stuff...

[@PsychologyUnlocked]

Thanks for your message :) in some ways psychology goes even smaller than atoms, measuring electrical impulses and neurotransmitters that journey between cells. There'll be a lot more research on wearable tech and implant tech over the next few years too as people seek to engage with cutting edge technology further

[@priyadarshiniamal5639]

Don't you know the difference between a x-ray and gamma ray.. Study the electromagnetic spectrum.

[@Ryzei]

🤓☝

[@christinechukwuocha7013]

Great explanation and wonderful content information! However, I would say the insensitive joke or comment in the beginning of the video about a cadaver was a bit inappropriate and a very undignified way of respectfully referring to a cadaver or corpse.

[@user-ff8px4vy8s]

This isn't ethical

[@ashburnconnecttv7860]

Weird accent! SPECT?
