Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positron emission tomography (PET) generates color-coded images of the brain's activity by tracking a small amount of radioactively tagged compound, such as glucose, oxygen, or a drug that is injected into the person's bloodstream. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) are methods of stimulating or modifying brain activity, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of the brain's structure.
