Researching the Brain

Neuroscientists (scientists who study the brain) have been working for many years to understand how the brain works.

MRI scanners

MRI scanners

  • MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
  • MRI scanners have allowed us to learn which areas of the brain are active during different activities, such as moving, speaking and listening.
Brain damage

Brain damage

  • By studying patients with brain damage, where part of their brain doesn’t function, neuroscientists have been able to link particular regions of the brain to particular functions.
Electrical stimulation

Electrical stimulation

  • Electrical stimulation has also allowed us to treat certain disorders of the brain.
  • Because the nervous system communicates using electrical impulses, electrical stimulation is used to help treat conditions such as Parkinson’s disease (causes tremors).
