Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) involves applying pulses to the cortex using special copper wire coils that are positioned over the head. Deep brain stimulation involves implanting electrodes into specific regions of the brain. Lesioning techniques involve permanently damaging or destroying specific regions of the brain. Positron emission tomography is a brain imaging technique that involves injecting a radioactive tracer into the bloodstream and measuring its distribution in the brain using a scanner.
