Which brain structures are important for retrieving information?
provide examples
Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disease. Discuss approaches used to study the disease, giving examples of specific techniques and models, and evaluating their advantages and disadvantages. Discuss possible reasons for why effective treatments have not yet been developed. Use figures and diagrams to illustrate your answer.
(This is a neuroscience question)
imagine that you are a neurologist. A patient has come to you with a cognitive deficit in their ability to name objects. Describe a brain activity recording technique you would use (e.g., PET, fMRI) and the brain area you would focus on (e.g., occipital lobe, temporal lobe) to determine if they have brain damage in an area that is important for this ability. You must name and describe the specific recording technique.
