Neuroscientists who surgically remove, destroy, or eliminate the brain tissue of laboratory animals are using which of the following techniques for studying the brain?

A) electroencephalogram
B) positron emission tomography (PET)
C) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
D) brain lesioning

Brain Lesioning

A technique used in neuroscience where specific brain areas are damaged to study the effects on behavior and mental processes.

Laboratory Animals

Animals that are used in scientific research to study biological processes, assess the effects of treatments, and for other scientific investigations.

Brain Tissue

Tissue found within the brain, composed of neurons and glial cells, which supports neural function and health.
