Studying the brain

• studying brain damage patients 


  analysing how the behaviour of the patient changes, scientists can imply the function of that area of the brain
• electrical stimulation in brain


  electrodes can be inserted into brain tissue sending electric impulses to stimulate areas of the brain, links can be made between the region of the brain and the response
• Magnetic Resonance Imagine Scan (MRI)


  detailed images of the brain can be produced, observing the brain whilst a specific activity is completed allows scientists to identify parts of the brain that are stimulated
