neuroscience methods

Neuroscience methods are techniques used to study the brain and nervous system. Imaging tools like MRI and fMRI create detailed pictures of brain structure and activity, helping researchers see which areas are active during tasks. Electroencephalography (EEG) measures electrical signals from the brain’s surface, tracking real-time activity. Other methods like brain stimulation can temporarily activate or inhibit specific regions to see how behavior changes. Combining these approaches allows scientists to understand how the brain processes information, controls actions, and responds to different stimuli, advancing knowledge of brain function and informing treatments for neurological conditions.
