A) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
B) deep brain stimulation
C) magnetic resonance stimulation
D) positron emission stimulation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described involves surgical implantation of electrodes in specific areas of the brain and stimulation by a device placed in the chest wall. This is known as deep brain stimulation. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (A) involves non-invasive stimulation of the brain using magnetic fields. Magnetic resonance stimulation (C) and positron emission stimulation (D) are not valid techniques.
