A talk with Dr. Rob Tarzwell about his research using SPECT neuroimaging to find indicators of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This work was voted by Discover Magazine as one of the top 20 science stories of 2015. Topics discussed include: the ways physical harm to the brain (e.g., traumatic brain injury) shows up differently in brain imaging compared to more psychological conditions like PTSD or depression; the differences between different types of brain imaging (PET, SPECT, fMRI) and their strengths and weaknesses; Tarzwell's research showing the effects of therapy in brain scans.
