Scientists destroyed a tiny area of a cat's limbic system by inserting a tiny electrode into this target area and then passing an electric current through the electrode. They then observed the cat for any changes in its behavior, which would provide clues about the function of this affected area. The procedure that was used to destroy the tiny area in the cat's brain is known as
A)ESB.
B)neural induction.
C)deep lesioning.
D)FMRI.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep lesioning involves destroying a specific area of the brain to study its function by observing changes in behavior or physiological processes. This is achieved by inserting an electrode into the target area and passing an electric current through it, as described in the scenario.
