Document Summary
Means of understanding brain structure through bumps and the shape of the skull. The body"s right side is weird to the brains left side and vice versa. A brain lesion is a naturally or experimentally caused destruction of brain tissue. Electroencephalogram (eeg) an ampli ed recording of the waves of electrical activity sweeping across the brains surface. These waves are measured by electrodes placed on the scalp. Pet (positron emission tomography) scan a visual display of brain activity while the brain preforms a given task: mri (magnetic resonance imaging) a technique that uses magnetic. Elds and radio waves to produce computer generated images of soft tissue. Mri scans show brain anatomy: an enlarge ventricle in the brain can show signs of people with schizophrenia. Fmri (functional mri) a technique for reveling blood ow and therefore brain activity by comparing successive mri scans. Fmri scans show the structure as well as the function of the brain.
