research techniques- brain

 

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 5 of your course text and visit the PubMed Central (Links to an external site.) web page. You may also consider reviewing the PubMed Central Quick Start Guide (Links to an external site.) and PubMed Tutorials (Links to an external site.) to help you navigate the resource more effectively.

This week we will look at how we have gotten to know what we do about the brain. Chapter 5 in your textbook discusses a number of research techniques used to study the brain. For this week’s discussion, choose one of these techniques and visit the PubMed Central (Links to an external site.) web page to find an original research article where this technique was used.

In your initial post,

• Describe the technique you selected and why you find it especially compelling as a research method.
• Explain to your peers how the study from the article you choose from the PubMed Central (Links to an external site.) web page illustrates the value of the method you have chosen.
