Quiz Biopsychology (Chap 1- Research Methodology)

Name the methods of brain visualization (Question 1- 6)

1. High resolution images are constructed from measurement of waves emitted by hydrogen
atoms that have been activated within a magnetic
field____________________________________.
2. Provides images of brain activity, highlight areas that are active, rather than showing a
detailed map of all brain structures. _________________________________
3. Provides images of brain structure and activity. Uses a strong magnetic field and function
is imaged using the signal created by interaction between oxygen and iron in the blood.
______________________________.
4. Measures changes in magnetic fields on the surface of the scalp.____________________
5. Often employed to circumvent the difficulties that brain imaging studies have in
determining causation._________________________
6. Measure of gross electrical activity of the brain. Uses electrodes attached to the
scalp._________________________________

level (SCL) and skin conductance response (SCR). _____________________________

effects :

19. Name the routes of drug administrations based on the definition provided below.
a) Fed to the subject - _________________________
b) Injected through a tube into the stomach - ________________________
c) Injected hypodermically into the peritoneal cavity of the abdomen _______________________
d) Into a large muscle- _______________________________
e) Into the fatty tissue beneath the skin - ______________________________
f) Into a large surface vein - ____________________________

20. The description below describes which method of measuring the chemical activity of the
brain:
a) Inject an animal with radioactive 2-DG and allow it to engage in behaviour of
interest. Then the animal is immediately killed, its brain is removed and sliced, and
the slices are coated with a photographic emulsion.

b) A fine U-shaped tube is inserted into the brain of an animal; its tip is made of a
semipermeable dialysis membrane, a solution of artificial cerebrospinal fluid
circulates through the tube.
