Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRI uses magnetic fields to create detailed images of the brain's structure.

Answer: A
 fMRI measures changes in blood flow in the brain, which are believed to indicate neural activity.

Answer: C
 EEG measures electrical activity from the brain's surface, providing information about the timing and location of neural activity.

Answer: B
 PET involves injecting a radioactive tracer into the bloodstream and then measuring the radiation emitted by the tracer as it accumulates in different parts of the brain.

Answer: E
 TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate or interrupt neural activity in specific regions of the brain. It does not provide an image or recording of brain activity.
