Questions and Answers

What is the significance of contemporary neuroimaging techniques in studying language organization in the brain?

  • They have enlarged our view of language organization in the brain. (correct)
  • They have completely replaced aphasia lesion localization techniques.
  • They have shown that language organization in the brain is limited to a few specific areas.
  • They have confirmed the findings of Paul Broca in the 19th century.

What did Paul Broca contribute to the understanding of language representation in the human brain?

  • Discovered the specific brain region responsible for language processing.
  • Introduced functional connectivity analyses for brain research.
  • Developed advanced structural imaging techniques.
  • Initiated aphasia lesion localization in the 19th century. (correct)

What do functional neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and PET allow researchers to do?

  • Measure lesion localization after brain injury.
  • Replace the need for structural imaging techniques.
  • Track the conjoined activation of several brain regions in healthy people.
