Studying the microscopic structure of the nervous system. Studying the structure of the nervous system following death. Studying the relative activity of nervous system structures. Studying brain activity, primarily during sleep or seizures. An adapted eeg used to study the brain"s response to specific stimuli. Identifying the stimulus responsible for activating an individual neuron. Identifying behaviour linked to a particular location in the nervous system. Producing long-lasting changes in cortical activity, linking behaviour to a particular location in the cortex. Identifying particular chemicals in a very small location. Studying contributions of genetic and nongenetic factors to behaviour. Studying the role of particular genes and the proteins they produce. Growing replacement tissue for repairing damaged organs, including the brain and spinal cord. Table 2. 1: some important structures in the brainstem. Aggression; regulation of hunger, thirst, sex, temperature, circadian rhythms, hormones. Decision making, error detection, emotion, anticipation of reward, pain, and empathy.
