Sometimes in order to study parts of an animal's brain,researchers may deliberately damage a part of the brain.They accomplish this by placing into the brain a thin insulated wire through which they send an electrical current that destroys the brain cells at the tip of the wire.This technique is called____________.
A)deep lesioning
B)ESB
C)EEG
D)CT scan

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep lesioning involves deliberately damaging a specific part of the brain by using an electrical current that destroys the brain cells at the tip of the wire. This is often done to study the function of that specific region of the brain. ESB (Electrical Stimulation of the Brain) involves sending an electrical current through the brain to activate a specific area of the brain and observe the resulting behavior. EEG (Electroencephalography) involves measuring the electrical activity of the brain using electrodes placed on the scalp. CT scans (Computed Tomography) use X-rays to produce detailed images of the brain. None of these techniques involve deliberately damaging the brain.
