Let’s say you want to know whether a brain region deep inside the brain (like the hippocampus) responds more strongly when subjects recall true or false information. Would you use fMRI, EEG, or TMS to address this question, and why wouldn’t you choose the other two?

Ainsley is participating in a study that aims to determine whether the occipital cortex becomes more active in response to moving versus stationary stimuli. When she arrives at the lab, she ingests a “tracer” and then enters the scanning machine. What type of brain imaging is most likely being conducted in this study? 1) computerized tomography (CT) scan 2) electroencephalograph (EEG) 3) magnet resonance imaging (MRI) 4) positron emission tomography (PET)

Imagine that you are a researcher planning your next experiment. For each of the research ideas listed below, indicate which of the following methods you would choose to use to answer the research question and briefly explain why in the space provided (each method can be used more than once or not at all, and multiple methods may be appropriate for a given question). Tissue staining CRISPR Experimental brain lesions (animals) EEG/ERP Single-unit electrical recording MRI Optogenetics fMRI Microdialysis TMS Naturally-occurring brain lesions (human neuropsychology) PET You want to know if reading comprehension is different for patients who have suffered a stroke in the left hemisphere, compared to those who have suffered right hemisphere strokes. You want to know if the fusiform face area is a necessary brain area for identifying human faces. You want to determine if an increased release of glutamate results in death of post-synaptic neurons. You are interested in determining whether sound frequency is tonotopically represented in auditory cortex by examining which areas are active to different sounds. You want to know if attended items are processed faster in the brain than unattended items. You are interested in determining whether increasing activity in the frontal lobes can improve task-switching performance. You are interested in determining whether individuals with more dopamine receptors in the frontal lobes make less rational decisions. You want to determine what changes are observed in hippocampal neurons following a period of chronic stress. You are interested in determining the role of the DISC1 gene in schizophrenia. You want to determine if the amount of cholinergic activity in the amygdala influences fear learning.
