Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A microelectrode is typically used during a single-cell recording in order to measure the electrical activity of individual neurons in the brain. It may also be used in certain types of research studies or clinical procedures, but generally not for treating mental illness or administering EEGs. Placing a microelectrode into a human brain after death would not provide any relevant information.
