Question

A team of investigators has found that persons suffering from depersonalization/derealization disorder show significant differences in ________ when different personalities are present.
A) metabolism
B) PET scan and fMRI activity 
C) brain wave activity 
D) hormone release

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PET scan and fMRI activity can measure brain function and activity. The fact that persons with depersonalization/derealization disorder show differences in this activity when different personalities are present suggests that there may be underlying neurological changes associated with the disorder. The other options (metabolism, hormone release, and brain wave activity) may also be affected by depersonalization/derealization disorder, but there is no direct evidence linking them to different personalities.
