Insertion into the brain of a thin insulated wire through which is sent an electrical current that destroys the brain cells at the tip of the wire is called __________.
A)deep lesioning
B)ESB
C)EEG
D)CT scanning

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described is known as deep lesioning, in which brain cells are destroyed by passing an electrical current through a thin insulated wire inserted into the brain. Option B refers to electrical brain stimulation, which involves sending electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain to activate or inhibit neural activity. EEG and CT scanning are non-invasive techniques that involve the measurement of brain activity and the visualization of brain structure, respectively, and are not related to the process of deep lesioning.
