Q

Shows brain activity based on glucose metabolism of the brain using radioactive isotope injection

A

Positron emission topography (PET)

17
Q

Shows timing of response

A

Temporal

18
Q

Measures the neuronal electrical activity through electrodes on the scalp; used for suspected seizures

A

EEG

19
Q

Combines advantages of MRI and PET; shows anatomy and physiology by measuring blood oxygenation; doesn’t require injection like PET

A

fMRI
