Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The removal of brain tissue is referred to as ablation. Ablation is commonly used in surgical procedures to remove specific areas of the brain, such as in the treatment of epilepsy or Parkinson's disease. Deep lesioning is a similar technique but involves the destruction of tissue through the use of electrical or chemical stimulation rather than surgical removal. However, the question specifically asks about the removal of tissue, which is only accomplished through ablation. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
