Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inserting a thin insulated wire into the brain through which an electric current is sent to stimulate the brain cells at the tip of the wire is known as ESB (Electrical Stimulation of the Brain). Option A is incorrect as deep lesioning involves destroying a part of the brain tissue to study the effects of brain damage. EEG (Option C) is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp produced by the firing of neurons within the brain, and CT scan (Option D) is a type of imaging test that combines X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of internal organs and tissues.
