Overview of Brain Mapping and Neuroimaging

What is the primary purpose of brain mapping? *
Neuroimaging is only used to study the structure of the brain. *
Functional neuroimaging techniques can track changes in brain activity over time. *
Which of the following is a structural imaging technique? *
Neuroimaging techniques are valuable for both clinical diagnosis and research purposes. *

Historical Advancements in Neuroimaging Techniques

CT scans were the first imaging technique to provide 3D visualization of the brain. *
In which decade was the EEG first developed as a tool to measure electrical activity in the brain? *
The development of MRI replaced the need for all other imaging techniques. *
What significant advancement is associated with PET scanning? *
Functional MRI (fMRI) relies on detecting changes in blood flow to measure brain activity. *

Ethical Considerations in Neuroimaging

Neuroimaging studies must always obtain informed consent from participants. *
Patient privacy is not a concern if neuroimaging data is anonymized. *
Which of the following is a primary ethical concern in neuroimaging? *
Neuroimaging can be ethically problematic when used for non-medical purposes, such as lie detection. *
What is an ethical issue unique to neuroimaging data? *

General Questions Across Topics

Historical advancements in neuroimaging have consistently reduced the invasiveness of techniques. *
Which ethical principle focuses on respecting the autonomy of participants in neuroimaging studies?
The use of neuroimaging in brain mapping has no limitations when studying dynamic brain processes. *
What is a major milestone in the history of neuroimaging? *
Neuroimaging techniques like fMRI have made it possible to study the brain while the patient is conscious and performing tasks. *
