Why is magnetoencephalogra phy (MEG) more useful than functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for studying participants' responses to quiet sounds?
 
  a. MEG equipment is much cheaper and easier to use than fMRI equipment.
 b. The magnets used in fMRI are very noisy, blocking the ability to sense quiet sounds.
 c. MEG recordings of brain activity must be taken more slowly than fMRI images, allowing a more accurate assessment of brain activity.
 d. Neither of these technologies is suitable for assessing participants' responses to sound.

Question 2

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings may be taken
 
  a. at the same rate as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans.
  b. faster than positron emission tomography (PET), but more slowly than functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans.
 c. faster than functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), but more slowly than positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
 d. faster than both positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

A recent study has found that following a diet rich in berries may slow down the aging process of the brain. This diet apparently helps to keep dopamine levels much higher than are seen in normal individuals who do not eat berries as a regular part of their diet as they enter their later years.

The B-complex vitamins and vitamin C are not stored in the body and must be replaced each day.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Did you know?

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.
