A new brain-scanning technique called _____ allows neuroscientists to produce three-dimensional images of the neural pathways that connect one part of the brain to another.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described in the question is diffusion spectrum imaging, which specifically produces three-dimensional images of neural pathways. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (A) and positron emission tomography (B) are both imaging techniques, but do not produce images of neural pathways. X-ray computerized tomography (D) is a different type of brain-scanning technique that uses X-rays instead of magnetic fields to create images of the brain, but again does not produce images of neural pathways.
