Question

The textbook reports research showing that people with autism had fewer connections between brain areas than did siblings or controls. Which neuroscientific technique might a researcher use if she wished to replicate this finding?

Answer 1

Answer:

diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)

Explanation:

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a recently developed technique that makes use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to analyze the nerve cells anatomy and the neuronal network that is found in the brain.  This technique, an improved version of conventional MRI, was introduced for the first time in 1994 by Peter Joel Basser, who specializes in Healthcare Management, Quantitative Imaging, Brain Imaging and Neuroplasticity.
