Big picture
🔗 Connection to Week 5: Chapter 3.1–3.2 taught you the anatomy. Chapter 3.3 asks: How do scientists know what those structures do? The methods let researchers examine structure, connections, electrical activity, damage, and blood-flow-related activity.
How to study this chapter
Anatomy/stains/tracers → neurophysiology → lesions → structural imaging → EEG/ERP → PET/fMRI.
Structure? Connection? Electrical activity? Damage? Blood flow?
Temporal = WHEN. Spatial = WHERE.
Close the notes and identify the method from a scenario. Explain why the alternatives do not fit.
Exam anchor: METHOD → WHAT IT MEASURES → WHEN/WHERE STRENGTH → LIMIT.
