Detailed explanation-1: -MRI scans show brain anatomy. Since MRI scans show brain anatomy, it would be the best scan to determine the size of a particular area in the brain.
Detailed explanation-2: -A form of MRI known as functional MRI (fMRI) has emerged as the most prominent neuroimaging technology over the last two decades. fMRI tracks changes in blood flow and oxygen levels to indicate neural activity. When a particular brain area is more active, it consumes more oxygen, and blood flow increases.
Detailed explanation-3: -The IB Psychology Guide recommends that you study one technique used to correlate the brain with behaviour. You could focus on one of the following: fMRI, MRI, EEG, CAT, and PET.
Detailed explanation-4: -Four methods used to study the brain are computerized axial tomography (CAT), positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Detailed explanation-5: -An MRI (or magnetic resonance imaging) scan is a radiology technique that uses magnetism, radio waves, and a computer to produce images of body structures.
