Ablation is the surgical removal of brain tissue. In this case, Pierre Flourens removed a portion of the brain, which resulted in visual problems for the patient. Deep lesioning typically refers to the use of electrodes to destroy small areas of brain tissue, ESB (electrical stimulation of the brain) is a technique used to stimulate various areas of the brain using electric currents, and FMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) is a neuroimaging technique used to measure brain activity. None of these options are the appropriate term for the surgical removal of brain tissue.
