Santiago is a biopsychologist who is planning a study on the biopsychology of reading. For which of these studies should he use fMRI?  If he wanted to see if reading speed would be affected by damage to the prefrontal cortex  If he wanted to see what parts of the prefrontal cortex are associated with reading speed  If he wanted to see if reading speed is linked to the size of the prefrontal cortex  If he wanted to see if reading speed is associated with better reaction time to negative stimuli

  •  The connections to the body parts are fixed and cannot change 
  • They are located next to each other in the brain
  •  Body parts that are connected to one another are also closer together in these cortices
