Methods of direct manipulation of the brains function include
A) lesioning, imaging, and functional measurement.
B) MRI, PET, and CT scan.
C) visualization methods and functional measurement.
D) stereotaxic apparatus, lesioning, and MRI.
E) lesioning, artificial stimulation, and genetic manipulation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lesioning, artificial stimulation, and genetic manipulation are direct methods of manipulating brain function. Lesioning involves damaging specific brain areas to study their functions, artificial stimulation involves using electrical or chemical means to activate certain parts of the brain, and genetic manipulation can alter the expression of genes in the brain to study their effects on behavior and brain function. MRI, PET, and CT scans (B) are imaging techniques that provide images of the brain but do not directly manipulate its function.
