Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brain imaging methods, such as fMRI and PET scans, allow scientists to observe the activity of the brain in real time and have been a major development in the field of biology that has influenced the study of psychology. Option A is incorrect because behavior is typically the result of complex and dynamic interactions among many brain chemicals. Option B is incorrect because the relationship between brain areas and behavior is often more complex and distributed than a simple "one-to-one" mapping. Option C is incorrect because complex behaviors typically involve the contributions of many genes, as well as environmental and experiential factors.
