Methods of studying cortical specialisation are divided into two groups: the invasive‚ and the non-invasive. The invasive methods are those‚ in which something is injected into the brain‚ to find out what the problem is. The non-invasive methods are more ethical‚ as there are no changes in the brain area‚ therefore no damage can be done to it. One of the invasive methods of cortical specialisation is neurosurgery. It involves manipulating with the structures within the brain. There are two main

What are X-rays? X-rays are a form of radiation that can pass through solid and semi-solid substances. In carefully controlled doses‚ they can be used to capture images of the body’s internal structures. How X-rays work X-rays are a type of radiation. Light and X-rays are similar sources of energy. However‚ light has a much lower frequency than X-rays and is absorbed by your skin. X-rays have a higher frequency and pass through the human body. As X-rays pass through the body‚ energy particles

Another difference is that MRI is a closed tube meanwhile CAT scan isn’t closed and has lots of space. Both MRI and CAT scans have pros and cons. A CAT scan is an x-ray image made by using radiation and MRI is the use of magnetic field and radio waves to create images of our body. One pro for CAT scans is that it detects diseases before
