Dr.Rapport conducts research to better understand how different regions of the brain work together.He is also interested in the causes of psychological disorders.Which of the following techniques is he likely to implement in his research?
A) analyses of functional connectivity
B) optogenetics
C) MEG
D) PsychENCODE

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Analyses of functional connectivity is the best choice as it is a technique used to study the coordination between different regions of the brain and how they work together. This technique would be relevant for Dr. Rapport's research on understanding how different regions of the brain work together. Option B, optogenetics, is not relevant to Dr.Rapport's research as it is a technique used to manipulate specific neurons in the brain. Option C, MEG, is a technique used to measure the magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the brain, and it may not be specific enough to study functional connectivity between different regions of the brain. Option D, PsychENCODE, is a research consortium focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying behavior and may not be directly relevant to Dr. Rapport's research interests.
