Yes please, I’d love a video where you describe the parts of the brain and how lesions can affect them

[meloneyparker]

It would be awesome if you would map the brain and describe the functions of the different parts. Is it even possible to do a map with related functions? It blows my mind (it actually hurts my brain) to think about mapping out brain function, but it is such an interesting topic.

That split-screen was a great idea, seeing on right which "floor" that cut on the left is from. Yes, yes, yes!

[lisancristo]

I would like to see more of both Brain and Spine

[EvenSoItIsWell]

Thanks Dr. Boster! Yes! I love this format. Understanding what is happening in our brain and CNS helps me by taking away the mystery and scary “unknowns.” Knowledge is power.

[marennelson]

These scans are SO interesting! You mentioned in this presentation that sometimes lesions shrink. I'd be interested to know more about what that really means.

[timmyjoel]

Great video, I wish my Neuro had the time and patience to step through like this with me!

[usualobject]

What I want to know is where the white spots are, how does it affect you? For example, I have a lesion on my brain stem. What symptoms might I experience ?

[nickramirez]

Aaron, this was really interesting! I was just diagnosed with CIS and have yet to start any DMTs. I found out about your channel because my mom (who unfortunately passed away from cancer 2 weeks ago) said you were great. She loved watching your videos and enjoyed your sense of humor. Just wanted to let you know you made a positive impact on my mom who was helping me navigate this entire situation and felt compelled to let you know. Thank you again for all you do - it means the most in my life right now!

[charlesboster]

Very interesting. The technical medical information clarifies a lot of your previous videos and comments. I found this helpful for me because of my limited understand of the physical effects of MS on the brain. Thanks

[Teslakoils]

Love these past videos showing the MRIs!! I’d love to see one going over some of the “fancy doctor talk” and explaining it in a simple way if possible lol

[msguidedbits]

Thank you Dr. Boster! I would love if you talked about the areas of the brain, and some of the symptoms that can be caused, relative to the locations of the brain lesions. 🧡🙏🏼

[seebee]

I would love to know the parts of the brain! And as others have said what kind of symptoms would you have with different locations. So interesting!

[traceylong]

Dr. Boster, hello from Southern Ohio! THANK YOU for your very thoughtful, creative and understandable videos! What a great MS Warrior you are! I’ve had MS since 2011, so I truly appreciate all the advocating you do on behalf of MS patients! I cannot imagine how crazy busy you are with your personal life and practice, yet you care enough to take time and share your wealth of wisdom! THANK YOU for fighting the good fight along with the MS community! God bless you & your family as well as your practice! Tracey

Yes I had one doctor tell me he's surprised I'm not in a wheelchair after seeing my MRI.. which I hate he told me bc it's all I think about. He even said he double chk to make sure he had the right patient. Maybe go through some MRI'S & tell us what kinda symptoms the patient's have or any additional details about their treatment.

[andreacatura]

Love these. I would really love to see a video that discusses lesions In relation to symptoms. For example, if I have a lesion in the exact same place as someone else, does it mean we will have the same symptom and conversely, whether or not people with the same symptom have a lesions in the same place. 🤷‍♀️

[janabailey]

Yes, I like looking at the brain MRIs, and anything to do with the brain in this format! Very interesting!

[JP-klmj]

Hi Dr. Boster, how are you? If someone had lesions on the brain, a normal spinal tap and no lesions on the spine, how many lesions on the brain and what location would determine an MS diagnosis ? I'm learning a lot from you so please post more videos about MRI's. : )

[cesaredo]

Yes Dr. B please show more videos like that

[ceceliaweller]

Yes please. This has explained a LOT to me! I have severe disease and have several black holes according to my MS neurologist. This helped me to visualize what is going on! Thank you
