Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuroimaging techniques can help identify abnormalities in the brain structure and function that may be linked to psychological disorders. This information can then be used to better understand the underlying causes of these disorders and develop more effective treatments. However, neuroimaging is not currently used as a treatment for psychological disorders, nor is it able to prevent such disorders. Additionally, while gene expression may play a role in psychological disorders, neuroimaging techniques are not used to directly manipulate gene expression.
