  DescriptionImportant KnowledgeUnderstanding the brain may be challenging due to the fact that it is difficult to gain a clear image of what is happening on the inside of the brain. However, there are a range of empirical ways that enable scientists to look at brains in activity. The number of alternatives has significantly risen over the last several years due to the development of novel neuroimaging techniques. In this part, we will discuss the several approaches that are used by psychologists in their pursuit of knowledge on the human brain. Each of the many methodologies has a number of benefits, and when we combine them, we start to gain a rather accurate picture of how the brain works and which brain areas govern which processes.Direct examination of the brains of human cadavers is one method that may prove to be the quickest and most effective way of viewing and comprehending the anatomy of the brain. After Albert Einstein passed away in 1955, his brain was taken and preserved so that it may be studied at a later date. Later on, a researcher by the name of Marian Diamond (1999) [1] investigated the properties of the Einstein's cortex by analyzing a part of it. Diamond had an interest in the function of glia, and she postulated that the proportion of glial cells to neuronal cells was a significant factor in determining a person's level of intellect.

  DescriptionEinstein's brain with the ratio seen in the brains of 11 other more "ordinary" persons whose brains have been preserved.Despite this, Diamond was only successful in finding evidence to back up a portion of her study premise. In spite of the fact that she discovered that Albert Einstein's brain contained considerably more glia in all of the places that she investigated, the difference was only statistically significant in one of the locations that she examined.Diamond acknowledges that her research has certain shortcomings, one of which is that she was only able to compare one Einstein to 11 other males.Lesions create a picture of what is lacking in the tissue.The fact that the brains can be completely investigated is one of the advantages of using cadavers in the research, but the fact that the brains are no longer alive is an evident downside. In some circumstances, though, we are able to conduct research on live brains. Strokes, falls, traffic accidents, gunshot wounds, and tumors are all potential causes of brain injury in live humans. Tumors are another potential cause of brain damage. Lesions are another name for certain kinds of injury. On very rare cases, brain lesions may be made purposely by surgery, such as those meant to remove brain tumors or (as in the case of people with split-brain syndrome) to alleviate the symptoms of epilepsy. Psychologists may occasionally purposefully inflict injuries on animals in order to research the consequences these injuries have on their behavior. Scientists expect that by doing this, they will be able to draw conclusions about the functioning of human brains based on the impact that the injuries have on the brains of animals.A scientist is given the opportunity to observe any potential loss of brain function thanks to lesions. For example, when a person has a stroke, a blood clot prevents oxygen from reaching a portion of the brain. This results in the death of neurons in that region, which in turn prevents that region from being able to process any information. The stroke may leave its victims with a particular set of impaired abilities in some instances. For instance, if the stroke affects the occipital lobe, then the patient's eyesight may be impaired. Likewise, if the stroke affects the regions of the brain that are linked with language or speaking, then these abilities may be impaired. Research conducted on people who had had strokes provided the foundation for our knowledge of the exact regions of the brain that are responsible for speech and language.

  DescriptionIt is now common knowledge that the frontal lobe of the brain is responsible for a sizeable portion of our capacities for moral thinking. At least some of this comprehension was gained from experiments in which participants' frontal lobes were damaged. Consider, for example, the well-known case of Phineas Gage, a 25-year-old railroad worker who, as a result of an explosion, had an iron rod driven into his cheek and out through the top of his skull, resulting in significant damage to his frontal lobe. This injury caused Phineas Gage to suffer from significant cognitive impairment (Macmillan, 2000).Despite this remarkable change of events, Gage was able to go back to work. 127 After his wounds had healed, the people who knew him said that he no longer appeared to be the same guy. The formerly pleasant and quiet-spoken Gage had developed into someone who was impatient, unpleasant, reckless, and dishonest. This case study (Kotowicz, 2007) did give early evidence that the frontal lobe is engaged in emotion and morality. Despite the fact that there are issues regarding the interpretation of this case study, it did provide this proof (Damasio et al., 2005).Patients with lesions have also been employed in more recent study that was conducted in a controlled environment to examine the origins of moral thinking. Michael Koenigs and his colleagues (Koenigs et al., 2007) [5] asked groups of normal people, individuals with lesions in the frontal lobes, and individuals with lesions in other places in the brain to respond to scenarios that involved doing harm to a person, even though the harm ultimately saved the lives of other people. Koenigs and his colleagues found that individuals with lesions in the frontal lobes were less likely to feel bad about inflicting pain (Miller, 2008).

  DescriptionWithin the context of one of the scenarios, the participants were posed the question of whether or not they would be prepared to take the life of one individual in order to save the lives of five others. They observed that persons with lesions in the frontal lobe were substantially more likely to consent to conduct the damage than were individuals from the two other groups.Koenigs and the other members of his team (2007)Researchers discovered that the frontal lobe has a significant role in moral judgment. People who had lesions in the frontal lobe of their brain were more likely to be ready to do damage to one individual in order to save the lives of five others. This was the case even when compared to people who had lesions in other sections of the brain or those who served as a control group.Taking a Recording of the Brain's Electrical ActivityIn addition to the ways that involve inflicting lesions on the brain, it is also feasible to learn about the brain by analyzing the electrical activity that is produced when the neurons in the brain fire. Putting detectors within the brains of animals in order to investigate the reactions of individual neurons is one method. This method is often employed with animals. Utilizing these methods, researchers were able to determine, for example, that the visual cortex has a subset of neurons referred to as feature detectors. These neurons are able to recognize moving objects, lines and edges, and even faces (Kanwisher, 2000).Electroencephalography is a method that requires minimal disruption to the patient and may be performed on live people (EEG). The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a method that makes use of electrodes that are positioned around the head of the study participant in order to capture the electrical activity that is generated by the neurons in the brain. Because the patterns of brain waves are known to change depending on the state of consciousness, an EEG may be used to determine whether a person is sleeping, awake, or under general anesthesia. EEGs are helpful for studying brain problems such as epilepsy because they can follow the waves that are created while a person is reading, writing, or speaking. EEGs have the ability to track these waves. The fact that the participant is free to walk about while the recordings are being made is one of the many benefits of EEG. This is especially helpful for determining the level of brain activity in youngsters since children often have a difficult time remaining still. In addition, researchers are able to see changes over extremely short periods of time by tracking the electrical impulses as they travel over the surface of the brain.Neuroimaging Allows us a Glimpse Inside the BrainAlthough the EEG is able to provide information about the general patterns of electrical activity within the brain, and although the EEG is able to allow the researcher to see these changes quickly as they occur in real time, the electrodes have to be placed on the surface of the skull, and each electrode measures brain waves from large areas of the brain. Despite these benefits, the EEG is not without its limitations. Because of this, electroencephalograms do not provide a particularly accurate image of the composition of the brain.But approaches exist to deliver more detailed brain imaging.Functional magnetic resonance imaging, often known as fMRI, is a specific kind of brain scan that makes use of a magnetic field in order to generate pictures of brain activity in each individual brain region. Within a massive cylinder-shaped structure that houses a very powerful magnet, the patient is made to lay down on a bed. Neurons that are actively firing use more oxygen, and this increases the amount of blood that flows to the location because of the requirement for oxygen. Because it measures the quantity of blood flow in each brain area, the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) serves as an indication of neuronal activity.fMRI is capable of producing images of the brain's structures that are very distinct and specific (for an example, see "fMRI Image" in Figure 3.16). Most of the time, the pictures are produced in the form of cross-sectional "slices" of the brain as the magnetic field is moved from one side of the head to the other. The photos of these slices are captured many times and then placed on images of the brain structure itself to demonstrate how activity levels shift across various brain areas over the course of time. When the participant in the study is invited to participate in activities while they are in the scanner (for example, by playing a game with another person), the pictures may demonstrate which regions of the brain are involved with particular kinds of tasks. The fact that the fMRI does not need any intrusive procedures is another another benefit of using it. After the subject in the study enters the machine, the scans will immediately begin.Despite the high cost of the scanners themselves, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology is becoming more widespread in academic institutions as well as medical facilities. Learning about the anatomy of the brain by fMRI is now the way that is used most often.There is one more strategy that is gaining popularity and is being used increasingly regularly to get a better understanding of how the brain works. Despite the fact that it is novel, it has the potential to be the most beneficial of all the approaches. Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS for short, is a technique that involves applying magnetic pulses to the brains of live subjects in order to temporarily and in a risk-free manner deactivate a localized portion of the brain. When doing TMS research, the subject in the study will first undergo scanning in an fMRI machine to pinpoint the precise location of the brain region that will be examined. After then, either before or while the person is engaged in the execution of a cognitive task, the participant's brain is subjected to the electrical stimulation, and the effects of the stimulation on performance are evaluated. If the presence of the stimulation has an effect on the participant's ability to carry out the task, then the researchers will be able to draw the conclusion that this specific region of the brain is critical to successfully carrying out the task.

  DescriptionThe most significant benefit of TMS is that it makes it possible for researchers to make inferences about the causal relationships between the structures of the brain and the researcher's thoughts, emotions, and actions. The application of the TMS pulses causes the area of the brain to become less active, and it is anticipated that this deactivation will have an effect on the reactions of the participant in the study. (Kalbe et al., 2010; Van den Eynde et al., 2010; Young, Camprodon, Hauser, Pascual-Leone, & Saxe, 2010) Recent studies have made use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate the regions of the brain that are responsible for emotion and cognition, as well as their roles in how individuals understand intention and approach moral reasoning.TMS is also utilized as a therapy for a range of psychiatric problems, including migraine headaches, Parkinson's disease, and major depressive disorder, amongst others.The focus of this research is on cyberostracism.The use of neuroimaging methods has significant ramifications for comprehending human behavior, particularly how we react to the people in our environment. Naomi Eisenberger and her colleagues tested the hypothesis that people who were excluded by others would report experiencing emotional distress and that images of their brains would show that they experienced pain in the same part of the brain where it is normally experienced when one is in physical pain. [10] The results of this experiment were published in 2003. A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain-imaging scanner was used on each of the 13 participants in the investigation. The participants were informed that they would be participating in a computer game called "Cyberball" with two other players who were also in fMRI machines at the same time. However, the two opponents in the game did not truly exist, and the computer controlled how their replies were given.Every single one of the subjects was assessed in three distinct sets of circumstances. The first part of the experiment involved informing the participants that, due to some unforeseen technical issues, the link between their scanner and the other two scanners could not yet be established. As a result, the participants were informed that, initially, they would not be able to take part in the game but rather could only observe it. The researchers were able to get a baseline fMRI reading as a result of this. After that, during a second inclusion scan, the participants pretended to play the game with two other players while they were being scanned. While this was going on, the other players passed the ball to the others who were participating. In contrast, during the third and final scan, known as the exclusion scan, the participants started off by receiving seven throws from the other two players; however, after that, they were kicked out of the game because the other two players stopped throwing the ball to them for the remainder of the scan (45 throws).According to the findings of the analysis, the level of activity that was present in two regions of the frontal lobe was noticeably higher during the exclusion scan as compared to the activity that was present during the inclusion scan. The authors came to the conclusion that these results show that the physiological brain responses associated with being socially excluded by others are comparable to the brain responses experienced upon physical injury. This was because previous research has shown that these brain regions are active when individuals are experiencing physical pain.Additional studies (Chen, Williams, Fitness, and Newton, 2008; Wesselmann, Bagg, and Williams, 2009) [11] have shown that individuals respond to being excluded in a variety of contexts with a wide range of feelings and actions.People who experience the pain of being excluded, or even those who observe the exclusion of others, not only feel the pain of being excluded themselves, but also feel worse about themselves and their relationships with people in general, and they may work harder to try to restore their connections with others. KEY TAKEAWAYS• It is possible to learn about the anatomy of the brain by researching the brains of deceased people; however, these types of studies have their limitations owing to the fact that the brain is no longer working.• Studies of lesions provide useful information on the impact that lesions have on various parts of the brain.The recording of electrophysiological activity is one method that may be used to directly quantify brain activity in animals.• Brain-wave patterns and activity may be evaluated with the use of diagnostic tools like electroencephalography (EEG), which measures the electrical activity in the brain.• Functional magnetic resonance imaging, often known as fMRI, monitors blood flow in the brain while the subject is engaged in a variety of tasks. This reveals information about the activity of neurons and, by extension, the functions of brain areas.• The purpose of using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which is used to deactivate a tiny portion of the brain in a safe and temporary manner, is to investigate the causal consequences of the deactivation on a subject's behavior. EXERCISE AND Observational Reflection Combined1. Think about the many methods that psychologists use to research the brain, and then choose a psychological trait or behavior that may be investigated using each of these methods.
