Note, some techniques will be used more than once (2pts per item) Which part of the brain has suffered the most damage after a stroke? How do brain waves change during the 3 stages of sleep? Which method would be used to examine activation of specific brain structures in a patient who has shrapnel from an old bullet wound in his/her shoulder? How do the brains of children differ from the brains of adults with regard to energy consumption? Do violent criminals show more or less activity in the ventral striatum during a reward processing task compared to non-violent criminals? V Choose EEG CT/MRI MRI PET Choose Choose... Choose

Explanation / Answer

1. PET scans can help detect the affected structures areas in the Brian

2. EEG helps to read the brain activity in motion in the sleep cycles

3. MRI/ CT scan is suitable to find the activated areas in case of trauma situation

4. fMRI is useful in such cases as it gives a record of the areas of activation in the brain by plotting the sites of metabolism and increased blood flow which indicates high activity in the specific regions.

5. fMRI is useful for comparing which area of the Brain is active in different conditions or tasks in different individuals.
