Which technology can be used most effectively to temporarily disrupt the function of specific brain regions?
A) Computed tomography (CT)
B) Electroencephalography (EEG)
C) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
D) Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used most effectively to temporarily disrupt the function of specific brain regions. TMS uses magnetic fields to generate electrical current in targeted areas of the brain, allowing researchers to temporarily inhibit or excite specific areas and study their functions. CT and MRI are imaging techniques used to visualize brain structure, and EEG measures electrical activity in the brain but does not have the ability to disrupt brain function.
