Dr. Prathma is working with rats to identify the function of a specific area of the brain. He systematically destroys this brain part to see which functions become deficient in his laboratory rats. What is the name of this type of procedure?

Answer: Experimetal ablation

Explanation: Experimental abaltion

It can be defined as the most common procedure that is used by the scientists in his laboratory. This procedure includes the removal or destruction of a part of brain for studying the functions of the regions of brain.

Then the behavior of the animal is observed to see which part of the brain is responsible for which type of behavior. This can be an unethical practice so it is not used on human beings and is only used in animals.
