Will an EEG detect damage to the reward system?

This is advanced and thus controversial research, but recently links have been proven between having mental faculties and recognizing a reward system when it bites you dead-bang in the ass.
I think all lab rats prefer the cocaine lever to the electric shock lever lol

Uhh no but its consistent with determening whether an eeg will detect reward system damage , neurotransmitter s are products of the reward system
I'm not sure if a simple EEG will do this, but I know there is a type of brain activity sensor that will show how much neutral activity is going on in various parts of your brain.

If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury, it's very possible that deficiencies would show up in such a scan as dark spots- which could then be correlated with regions of the brain with known functions.

I understand the need for a solid diagnosis, and I wish you the very best of luck.
 
This question is completely distinct from the one with which you opened. Interestingly both skirt the implied real question: how might I determine if my reward system has been damaged?
And the follow-on pair, depending on answer to the above:
what can I do about it?

Before you worry about the reward system, you would benefit from a review and overhaul of the ability to reason in a traceable line ...
The brain damage resulted from a particular neurotoxin my intuition strongly tells me affected my reward center
I have the sensation the sunshine has been sucked out of my world. You either work WITH me or let your ego talk.

Do you know this to be true? Please share with us your credentials as a neurologist?
I worked the surgical side of the house. I made no claim to neurology but the fields do cross a tad in terms of diagnostics. However I'm probably completely wrong.
