B) EEG
C) PET
D) MRI

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PET (positron emission tomography) records biochemical changes in the brain as they are happening with the use of a radioactive substance injected into the bloodstream. This substance mimics glucose and is taken up by brain cells, allowing for the detection of changes in brain activity. This method is often used to study brain metabolism and has been used to investigate a range of neurological disorders. EEG (electroencephalography) records electrical activity in the brain, ERP (event-related potential) is a specialized type of EEG used to measure neural responses to specific stimuli, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain's structure.
