Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to visualize the brain's anatomy and allows a scientist to see what an individual's brain looks like. It provides detailed images of the brain's tissue, including the white and gray matter, and can assist in identifying abnormalities, such as a tumor or injury. However, it cannot detect brain activity associated with specific thoughts or behaviors (A), study glucose consumption (B), or detect electrical activity within a single cell (D).
