Question 1

what’s the difference between what CT and MRI’s do vs a PET scan

Answer 1

CT’s and MRI’s show the detailed structure of the brain while PET scans measure charges in the brain and monitor brain activity

Question 2

why can TMS and DBS be used to make causal claims but fMRI, PET and CT scans can’t

Answer 2

tms and dbs purposely elicit reactions in the brain that we are able to see as responses or motor function while the other scans only sure the brain activity not the definite result
