methods in biopsychology
Across
- 3. Uses electrical current to destroy brain tissue and create precise internal lesions.
- 5. Cooling tissue to harden it before cutting into sections
- 9. Records electrical activity of the brain using scalp electrodes
- 11. Records eye movements using electrodes based on electrical differences.
- 12. Chemical method to destroy specific neurons to observe behavioral changes.
- 13. Measures electrical activity of muscles to study tension and movement
- 15. Preserving tissue using chemicals to prevent decay and maintain structure.
- 16. Device used to record or stimulate brain activity through electrical signals.
- 17. Microscopic study of brain tissue after preparation and slicing
Down
- 1. Cutting neural pathways carefully to study brain function.
- 2. Techniques used to visualize brain structure using scans like MRI or CT
- 4. Activating brain areas using electricity to observe responses.
- 6. removal of a brain part to study behavior by observing effects after tissue loss.
- 7. Hardening tissue using substances like paraffin to allow thin slicing.
- 8. Temporary cooling method to stop neuron activity without permanent damage
- 10. Coloring tissue samples to make structures visible under a microscope.
- 11. Measures skin conductance changes linked to emotional arousal
- 14. Suction-based method to remove brain tissue when the area is visible and accessible.
