Which method(s) have a spatial resolution at the single neuron level?
a. Single-cell recording and TMS
b. Single-cell recording only
c. TMS only
d. Neither single-cell recording nor TMS
EXPAIN PLEASE
Answer (b): Single-cell recording only -- In neuroscience, single-cell recording provide a method of measuring the electro-physiological responses of single neurons using a microelectrode system. When a neuron generates an action potential, the signal propagates down the neuron as a current which flows in and out of the cell through excitable membrane regions in the soma and axon. A microelectrode is inserted into the brain, where it can record the rate of change in voltage with respect to time.
