E) fMRI

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immunocytochemistry aimed at choline acetyltransferase can be used to detect the location of acetylcholine in the brain. This technique involves the use of antibodies that bind to choline acetyltransferase, the enzyme responsible for synthesizing acetylcholine. Therefore, by detecting the location of choline acetyltransferase, the location of acetylcholine can be indirectly determined. In situ hybridization, autoradiography, microiontophoresis, and fMRI are not direct methods for detecting the location of acetylcholine.
