Question | Answer |
---|---|
Produces 3-D and 2-D images Produced by waves from hydrogen atoms | Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) |
Uses X-Rays | Computed Temography (CT or CAT scan) |
Inject radioactive 2-DG | Position Emission Tomography (PET) |
Visualizing blood flow/oxygen use in the brain | Functional MRI (fMRI) |
recording physiological activity from the body surface EX: blood pressure, skin conduction response (measuring sympathetic nervous system) | Recording Psychophysiological Activity |
Measuring brain activity | Electroencephalogram (EEG) |
Animal Research: -Lesioning -electrical stimulation -manipulating or measuring within the brain | Invasive Research Method |
Remove, damage, or destroy a part of the brain | lesion methods |
-electrical stimulation may be used to "activate" a structure | Electrical stimulation |
-Fed to the subject -Injected-described by injection sight: stomach (intragastric), perioneal cavity (intraperitoneal), large muscle (intramuscular), tissue under the skin -Cannula-directly to the brain | Routes to drug administration |
based on the binding of labeled protein- specific anitbodies | immunocytochemistry |
-knockout mice -subjects missing a given gene can provide insight into what the gene controls -taking away a gene | gene knockout techniques |
-transgenic mice -transfering a gene into a mouse | gene replacement techniques |
mimic situation that an animal might encounter in its natural environment | seminatural learning paradigms |
animals appear prepared to associate tastes and illness | conditioned tast aversion |
test spatial abilities and memory | radial arm maze/morris water maze |
did he like that drug? positive association | conditioned place preference |
Open Field Test-general activity, fear Grooming after eating Colony intruder paradigm- aggression and defensive behavior | assessment of species common behavior |
Classical Conditioning- Pavlov's Dogs, food aversion Operant Conditioning- self stimulation- animal works for electrical stimulation or food | Traditional Conditioning Paradigm |
