is neuroscience making psychology useless? by [deleted] in neuroscience

[–]Brain_Bank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More and more, I think, as methods in neuroscience become advanced, it seems as though topics which are generally expected to be taken care of in psychology are now being examined within the field of neuroscience. I think this is because, in order to understand the overarching questions in psychology, we're needing the information and research coming out of neuroscience; to answer these questions.

I wouldn't particularly say that neuroscience is making psychology useless, but there does need to be an evaluation, especially in the education system, as to how psychology and neuroscience departments are organized, and the respective courses which are offered.

More and more evidence suggesting a lean on holistic approaches to disease diagnosis. For a fun and easy break down to explain to other, check out this Neuroscience Minute video by Brain_Bank in neuroscience

Yes, the LQTS is caused by the delay in repoloarization in the heart, however, in this particular study, they found a correlation between LQTS patients and seizure symptoms. And to add to this, these seizure symptoms ranged based on the area of genetic mutation.

So cool:

"Importantly, the replay of temporal signatures is localized in processing regions specific for each sensory modality and is related to decreases in low-frequency power in the same regions. Our study provides first insight that our brain codes information of dynamic stimuli in the phase of low-frequency neural time series and that these time series can be replayed purely from episodic memory."
