C EXTERNAL POTENTIAL
D MEMBRANE POTENTIAL - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>B EVOKED POTENTIALS
(EP) EVOKED POTENTIALS - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>AN ELECTRICAL
POTENTIAL RECORDED IN RESPONSE TO AN EXTERNAL STIMULUS: VISUAL,
AUDITORY, OR SOMATOSENSORY
FAR FIELD POTENTIAL IS DEFINED AS
A POTENTIAL RECORDED FROM THE SURFACE ELECTRODE
B POTENTIAL RECORDED FROM DEPTH ELECTRODE
C POTENTIAL RECORDED FROM NEARBY GENERATOR SOURCE
D POTENTIAL RECORDED FROM DISTANT SOURCE - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>D
POTENTIAL RECORDED FROM DISTANT SOURCE.
,(FFP) FAR FIELD POTENTIAL - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>THE SCALP
ELECTRODES DETECTED THE POTENTIALS THAT WERE GENERATED AT A
DISTANCE THUS THE TERM "FAR FIELD POTENTIAL" WAS INTRODUCED.
ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TESTS REFLECT BRAIN FUNCTION EXCEPT
A EEG
B PET SCAN
C SPECT
D CT SCAN - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>D CT SCAN
CT SCAN VS EEG - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>THE EEG PRIMARILY REFLECTS
BRAIN FUNCTION WHILE CT REPRESENTS ANATOMICAL BRAIN STRUCTURES.
