Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI): This technique uses strong magnetic fields to measure changes in blood flow and oxygenation levels in specific brain regions, helping identify areas involved in drug-induced neural activity.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET):PET scans involve injecting a small amount of radioactive material into the body, which allows researchers to track where certain molecules go within the brain, providing insights into how drugs impact neural activity.
Electroencephalography (EEG): EEG measures electrical activity generated by neurons using electrodes placed on the scalp. It helps capture rapid changes in neural activity caused by drug effects.
