Hippocampus
This key concept describes how the brain reorganises itself by forming new neural connections.
Neuroplasticity
Bennett et al. once “scanned” this animal, showing the danger of false positives in fMRI research.
A dead salmon
Name two limitations of brain imaging techniques that affect their validity.
Unnatural environment, false positives, high cost, colour exaggeration, sampling bias
