A) immunocytochemistry
B) autoradiography
C) immunochemistry
D) microiontophoresis
E) optogenetic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The use of an antibody linked to a radioactive molecule to bind to a peptide or enzyme in brain tissue is a technique known as immunocytochemistry. This allows for the visualization and mapping of the location and distribution of specific proteins or enzymes within the brain. Autoradiography also uses a radioactive molecule but does not involve the use of an antibody. Immunochemistry is a general term that includes the use of antibodies and other immune-related molecules in various assays. Microiontophoresis and optogenetics are techniques that involve the manipulation of neural activity, rather than the visualization of specific proteins or enzymes.
