Unlike brain imaging, TMS permits the study of - between cortical activity and cognition
causal relations
IP, SC, IV, and IM are all
routes of drug administration
Functional MRI generates images of increases to area of the brain of
oxygenated blood flow
A network of brain structures that tends to be active when a person sits quietly and lets her mind wander has been termed the
default mode network
Positron emission technology is a valuable research tool because it
provides an image of brain function
What contrast x-ray technique is designed to locate vascular abnormalities in the brains of human patients?
cerebral angiography
Immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization are techniques that allow researchers to
locate and identify neural networks that release a particular neurotransmitter
Lesions restricted to structures on one half of the brain are called
unilateral lesions
A special type of EEG wave that often occurs after the presentation of a meaningful stimulus is called a
P300 wave
