Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lesioning is the deliberate damage to a part of the brain by sending an electrical current through a thin insulated wire that destroys the brain cells at the tip of the wire. This technique is commonly used by researchers to study specific regions of the brain and its effects on behavior and cognition. ESB (electrical stimulation of the brain) is a technique used to stimulate brain regions instead of damaging them, EEG (electroencephalography) is a technique used to measure brain activity, and CT scan (computed tomography) is a type of medical imaging used to visualize brain structures.
