Dr.Kakembo is interested in the area of the brain responsible for spatial memory.She decides that the best process is to train a group of rats to navigate a maze,then intentionally remove specific areas of their brains,and finally test their spatial memory to see which rats have memory impairments.This technique,intentionally damaging an area of the brain,is known as
A)transcranial magnetic stimulation.
B)structural neuroimaging.
C)electroencephalography.
D)lesioning.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described in which specific areas of the brain are intentionally damaged is known as lesioning. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain activity. Structural neuroimaging and electroencephalography are both techniques used to visualize and measure brain activity, but they do not involve intentionally damaging the brain.
