(02.03 MC)Scientists are studying the effectiveness of a new antidepressant. Ten rats are given a standard dose of a currently available medication. Another group of 10 rats are given an equivalent dose of a new medication. MRIs that show brain activity through color are used to measure the absorption of the medications. Low brain activity is indicated by grays and blues. Normal brain activity is indicated by greens and yellows. High brain activity is indicated by reds and oranges. All the rat’s brains showed reduced activity prior to being exposed to their respective medication.What type of study was conducted by the scientists?
