🧠 Hey there, young genius! Ready to dive deep into the cool world of brain imaging? Let&#39;s make this journey fun and insightful! 🎉

<ul>
	<li>What is it? 🤔
	<ul>
		<li>A fancy tool used to peek into our brain without opening it up! Like an X-ray, but for your brain activities.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Why is it cool? 🕶️
	<ul>
		<li>It&#39;s non-invasive, meaning no scalpels! Much safer than old-school methods like post-mortem studies or neural stimulation with electrodes.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

Remember these, they&#39;ll be the stars of our show!

<ul>
	<li>
	🤹 Juggling &amp; Brain Changes

	<ul>
		<li>Study: Draganski et al (2004)</li>
		<li>Tool: MRI</li>
		<li>Mission: Check out if our brain&#39;s structure changes after learning to juggle for three months.</li>
		<li>Real-world example: Think of the brain like clay. Juggling might be like pressing your thumb into the clay, leaving a new imprint!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	📚 Brain Changes from Study Stress

	<ul>
		<li>Study: Draganski et al (2006)</li>
		<li>Tool: MRI</li>
		<li>Mission: Does the brain change when you pull all-nighters studying for that BIG exam?</li>
		<li>Real-world example: Remember the stress of finals week? It&#39;s like the brain&#39;s workout &ndash; pushing it might change its &#39;muscles&#39;!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	🚖 Taxi Drivers &amp; Amazing Memory

	<ul>
		<li>Study: Maguire et al (2000)</li>
		<li>Tool: MRI</li>
		<li>Mission: Compare the brains of London&#39;s taxi drivers (who have to remember tons of streets) to regular folks.</li>
		<li>Real-world example: Imagine a taxi driver&#39;s brain is a map filled with tiny notes and details, while ours might just have the main highways!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	🥴 Parkinson&#39;s Disease Mystery

	<ul>
		<li>Study: Freed et al (2001)</li>
		<li>Tool: PET scans</li>
		<li>Mission: Investigate dopamine-producing cells in Parkinson&#39;s patients.</li>
		<li>Real-world example: Dopamine is like the oil in a car&#39;s engine. With Parkinson&#39;s, there might be less oil, making things go wonky!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	❤️ Love &amp; Brain Activities

	<ul>
		<li>Study: Fisher, Aron, and Brown (2005)</li>
		<li>Tool: fMRI</li>
		<li>Mission: Understand brain reactions when you gaze at your crush&#39;s pic!</li>
		<li>Real-world example: Heart flutters when you see your crush? The brain has its own version of fireworks!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>
	Factors to Consider

	<ul>
		<li>Tech Availability: Do we even have this machine?</li>
		<li>Costs: Is our wallet feeling brave?</li>
		<li>Ethics: Always gotta be respectful and safe.</li>
		<li>Aims: What do we hope to find out?</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	Remember

	<ul>
		<li>As you read more, note down studies using brain imaging.</li>
		<li>Ask yourself: Why did they pick THAT method? 🤷</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	Your Turn! 🌟

	<ul>
		<li>Recall your projects for Humanborough.</li>
		<li>Pick your top 3! Which imaging techniques would you use?</li>
		<li>Invasive (😱) or Non-invasive (😊)?</li>
		<li>Focus: Structure or Processes?</li>
		<li>Tip: Remember the factors above before finalizing!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

Happy studying! Always remember, the brain is a beautiful mystery, and we&#39;re all Sherlock Holmes trying to solve it! 🕵️&zwj;♂️
