Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive brain imaging technique that measures changes in blood flow in response to neural activity. This would be the best method for identifying which specific brain areas are most active during the recall of familiar nursery rhymes. Microelectrode insertion is an invasive procedure and would not be appropriate for this type of study. MRI is a structural imaging technique that does not measure neural activity. SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are a type of medication used to treat depression and anxiety and are not relevant to this question.
