Exam 2: Methods of Investigating the Brain

To determine which parts of the brain are activated by different types of physical sensation or activity,such as sight,sound or movement of a subject's finger,an experimenter would most likely use:

____________________ allows for the mapping of neuronal pathways using an axonal transport mechanisms.

Theta waves are:

Utilization of a MEG is expensive because it requires:

The lumbar puncture takes a sample of:

Golgi used silver chromate to stain dead neurons.

Femorocerebral angiography involves catheterization of the:

Alpha activity is:

The air encephalogram is also called:

EMG is an electrical analysis of muscles,a useful diagnostic procedure to aid in the diagnosis of central nerve damage.

For identifying tumors or subcortical alterations,it is most advantageous to use the:

PET uses a radioactive tracer to detect glucose and oxygen metabolism,as well as cerebral blood flow.

The principle of the MRI is that the hydrogen atom:

The Wada technique involves:

An EEG can record the neuronal activity of deeper subcortical structures just as well as that of cortical structures.

One of the fundamental ways neurons organize their rate of electrical activity is:

BEAM stands for:

The combined use of MRI and functional MRI (fMRI)can be used to:
