_______________ is a procedure that is used by researchers as a "virtual" and temporary method to lesion the brain.
A)Positron-emission tomography
B)Functional magnetic resonance imaging
C)Microelectrode recording
D)Transcranial magnetic stimulation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a procedure used by researchers to temporarily disrupt or lesion specific regions of the brain by applying magnetic pulses to the scalp. It is considered “virtual” because it does not require direct physical intervention and is only temporary as the effects of TMS wear off after a short period of time. A and B (Positron-emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging) are imaging techniques used to visualize brain activity, while C (Microelectrode recording) involves the use of tiny electrodes to record electrical activity in the brain.
