Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep lesioning involves destroying a tiny area of the brain (in this case, part of the limbic system) by inserting an electrode into the target area and then passing an electric current through it to burn the tissue. This technique is used to study the functions of specific brain areas by observing the effects of their removal.
