Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lesioning involves inserting a wire into the brain to destroy cells at the tip of the wire. ESB (electrical stimulation of the brain) involves sending electrical currents through the brain to stimulate certain areas. EEG (electroencephalography) involves recording the electrical activity in the brain through electrodes on the scalp. CT scanning (computed tomography) involves using X-rays to create 3D images of the brain. Therefore, the best choice for the given description is A) lesioning.
