A researcher is interested in understanding how the physical structure of the corpus callosum changes from childhood to adulthood. Which of the following would be the most useful brain imaging technique?
A) Electroencephalography (EEG)
B) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
C) Positron emission tomography (PET)
D) Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most useful brain imaging technique for examining structural changes in the brain over time. MRI provides high-resolution images of the brain's anatomy and can track changes in the physical structure of the corpus callosum from childhood to adulthood. EEG measures electrical activity in the brain, PET measures brain metabolism and blood flow, and TMS is used to stimulate or inhibit brain activity. While these techniques can provide valuable information about brain function, they are not as well-suited for examining structural changes over time.
