Imaging techniques that provide information regarding brain function include
A) computerized tomography (CT)and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
B) computerized tomography (CT)and positron emission tomography (PET).
C) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)and positron emission tomography (PET).
D) computerized tomography (CT)and magnetoencephalography (MEG).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) provide information regarding brain function by measuring blood flow, metabolism, and neural activity. Computerized tomography (CT) primarily provides structural information, while magnetoencephalography (MEG) measures the magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the brain, but does not directly measure blood flow or metabolism. Therefore, option C - functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) - is the best choice.
