waynes doctor performed a test to reveal both the function and structure of his brain. which brain scan was used?
a lesion
b eeg
c fmri
d pet scan

Explanation:

A lesion is an injury or abnormal change in tissue, not a scan. EEG measures electrical activity of the brain but not detailed structure. PET - scan shows metabolic processes and some structure but not as well as fMRI for structure. fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) can show both brain function by detecting blood - oxygen - level dependent (BOLD) contrast and detailed brain structure.

Answer:

C. fMRI
