Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

(1) Electroencephalogra m, or EEG. An EEG uses electrodes to assess changes in electrical activity in the cerebral cortex. The use of this tool is based on the idea that different psychological states produce different patterns of brain activity.
(2) Positron emission topography, or PET. PET derives a picture of brain functioning based on metabolic activity. PET is often used to measure neurotransmitter functioning.
(3) Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. MRI translates the magnetic resonances of a person's brain into a visual image. MRI is primarily used to examine structural damage in the brain.
(4) Dexamethasone suppression test, or DST. DST measures the body's sensitivity to cortisol suppression. People who show a shortened suppression effect may have a biological predisposition to depression.
