Pharmacological and biological approaches to clinical and health psychology - Notes lecture 6
Lecture 6: Psychopharmacology
Which topics are covered in the lecture?
Metabotropic/ionotropic receptors, autoreceptors, MRI, ethics with research, brain networks, depression, dopamine, opiates.
Which topics are discussed that are not discussed in the literature?
The lecturer talked about information that you get to know when you’re doing MRI-scans, but which you didn’t looking for. An example is when you see an aneurysm. This is a bubble filled with blood in the brain and the bigger it is, the bigger the chance to get a rupture. Sometimes when a doctor sees this he sends you home because he can’t do a thing about it, so you have to wait till it explodes and then you go as fast as you can to the hospital. Some people won’t ever detect this aneurysm, so they live happy without knowing and think they’re healthy. When you as a researcher see this aneurysm, you can do two things. The first is that you can tell the participant about it, but maybe he can’t be helped by the doctors and knows it can explode any moment. It can also be that by saying it, you save the life of the participant because you tell him and it can be removed by the doctors. The other is that you don’t say a thing, but there could or couldn’t be doing something about it. The discussion is still going on with this.
In scientific articles, you always see MRI-scans in two-dimensional. In reality, a MRI-scan is three-dimensional.
