    This document provides a table comparing various techniques used to study brain function including permanent lesions, temporary lesions, stimulation, and recording neuronal activity. It lists the key information each technique can provide such as the specific areas or cells involved in functions, as well advantages like reversibility or targeting specific neurons and disadvantages like potential lack of specificity. The document also discusses various methods used to examine brain tissue including staining, microscopy, labeling, and imaging techniques like PET and fMRI.
