Neuroscience Research Methods




FINAL ASSESSMENT GUIDE




© Portage 2024/2025

,1. Which of the following techniques is primarily used to measure
the electrical activity of neurons?


a) fMRI


b) EEG


c) PET


d) DTI


Answer: b) EEG


Rationale: EEG (Electroencephalography) is used to measure
electrical activity in the brain by recording from the scalp. It is
widely used in neuroscience research for studying brain functions
and disorders.


2. In optogenetics, which type of protein is typically used to
control neuronal activity with light?

© Portage 2024/2025

, a) Channelrhodopsins


b) Hemoglobin


c) Cyclins


d) Tubulins


Answer: a) Channelrhodopsins


Rationale: Channelrhodopsins are light-sensitive proteins that
can be used to activate or inhibit neurons in optogenetics research.


3. What is the primary advantage of using two-photon microscopy
over traditional confocal microscopy in brain research?


a) Higher temporal resolution


b) Greater tissue penetration

, c) Lower cost


d) Better color differentiation


Answer: b) Greater tissue penetration


Rationale: Two-photon microscopy allows deeper imaging into
biological tissues with minimal damage, which is crucial for
studying brain structures.


4. Which statistical model is most appropriate for analyzing the
firing rates of neurons in a time-series data set?


a) Linear Regression


b) Poisson Regression


c) Chi-Square Test


d) ANOVA
