Brain Lesioning

Brain lesioning is a medical or research procedure where specific areas of the brain are intentionally damaged or destroyed. This can be done surgically or using techniques like focused ultrasound. The purpose is to study how different parts of the brain influence behavior or to treat certain neurological conditions, such as severe tremors or epilepsy. By observing changes after a lesion, scientists and doctors can better understand brain functions and develop targeted therapies. It’s a precise method that helps reveal how different regions of the brain contribute to our thoughts, movements, and emotions.
