Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both lesions and electrical brain stimulation allow scientists to observe the functions of particular parts of the brain. Lesions involve damaging or removing a specific brain region to observe the effects on behavior or cognitive function. Electrical brain stimulation involves applying a small electrical current to a specific region of the brain to temporarily disrupt or enhance its function, allowing researchers to observe the resulting behavioral or cognitive changes. Both methods provide insight into the functions of specific parts of the brain.
