During a chat over coffee, a friend asks you if you know how scientists began to study the functions of the brain and how its study has evolved over the past few decades. She asks you the following questions: X What is the research technique of experimental ablation and who was responsible for its initial use in the 1800s? What are the different methods of measuring brain activity today? And what is the difference between MRI and fMRI? Which of the following best describes the answers to her questions? Selected Answer: Answers: X Ablation involves the physical manipulation of the brain and allows for an assessment of a change in function after the manipulation. Experimental ablation was advanced as a technique of study by Pierre Flourens in the 1800s. The different methods of measuring brain activity include naturally occurring lesions, transcranial direct stimulation, tDCS, cellular recordings, EEG, and MRI/fMRI. MRI studies brain anatomy while fMRI studies brain function Ablation involves the physical manipulation of the brain and allows for an assessment of a change in structure after the manipulation.
