- Recently, @NeelsVisser1 a young entrepreneur, appeared in an episode of Scan My Brain with Dr. Daniel Emina. Visser was seeking a brain SPECT scan specifically to understand his own symptoms of anxiety and stress. “It kind of circulates in my brain daily, and I wanted to find better ways to manage it and understand it,” he told Dr. Emina. “Over the past 6 years, I’ve had a very unique lifestyle, where I’ve pretty much lived on airplanes every 4 to 5 days, and that has created a disbalance.”
While most of us aren’t stressed out about jet-setting around the world, many Americans can relate to Visser’s feelings of anxiety, which he described as “a negative feedback loop” playing in his brain. But when Dr. Emina asked if there are any benefits to the loop, Visser admitted that it can aid him in preparing for life, such as by helping him avoid mistakes he’s made in the past.
Dr. Emina briefly described how neurophysiology works in that way. “We have a thought pattern that eventually leads to an emotion, eventually leads to behaviors and repetition…and just like any other habit that we form, good or bad, you can strengthen them,” he said. “There may be good things about being able to overthink about a situation-that allows you to prepare for something. The challenge is usually when you get to a situation where you feel like you can’t improve, or you can’t fix.”
Looking at Visser’s brain scan, Dr. Emina noted a lot of activity in the emotional brain, or the basal ganglia, which acts as the pleasure reward center and assists with fine motor movement. In addition, high activity in the caudate, which helps set anxiety levels, validated Visser’s reports of increased anxiety.

Huge thanks for this video! Anxiety is devastating but we can crush it!
Yeah I have a crush too
If this is what anxiety looks like then i probably belong in an asylum.
thank you for doing this, Neels!
Excellent, good wishes.
Amen loves to present these scans as such concrete evidence for areas of brain health. Spect scans show blood flow. Does blood flow equate to “activity?” If it were so simple every single neurologist would be using them. You have to ask why barely any other neurologists consider these scans beneficial indicators of brain health.
How will I know if my anxiety is no longer normal kind of worrying?
How would the frontal lobe show active in the image if the exams are done static?
