Question 42
H

Scientists have learned about brain function by studying patients with damage to one region of the brain.

Why is it difficult to obtain these case studies?

[1]
A

Patients with brain damage always recover quickly, so no change is seen.

B

Damage to the brain cannot be detected while the patient is still alive.

C

Every region controls every function, so damage to one has no effect.

D

Damage limited to one small region is rare, so few patients can be studied.
