Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) allows researchers to measure brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow. This enables them to see what parts of the brain are active during certain tasks or stimuli. Option A is incorrect because fMRI cannot be used to damage specific regions of the brain. Option C is incorrect because fMRI cannot measure hormone levels. Option D is partially correct, as fMRI can show which parts of the brain are active in response to environmental experience, but it cannot directly determine which parts are shaped by genetics.
