Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep lesioning involves placing a thin insulated wire into the brain and sending an electrical current to destroy brain cells at the tip of the wire. ESB stands for electrical stimulation of the brain and refers to sending electrical currents to specific areas of the brain to activate or inhibit certain functions. EEG stands for electroencephalogram and refers to measuring the brain's electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp. CT scanning stands for computed tomography scanning and involves using X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the brain.
