📌 Main Idea: Localization of functions in the brain - Is it an "absolute" concept or "relative"? Let's dive in!

What's the 411 on localization? 📍

  • Localized Functions: Some brain functions occur in specific regions.
    • E.g.
      • Broca’s Area: Helps you produce articulate speech. Ever gave a perfect speech? Thank Broca's!
      • Wernicke’s Area: Understand languages. So, it's the reason you get Shakespeare... or not!
  • Supporting Studies 📚
    • Sharot et al (2007): The left amygdala gets activated when we form flashbulb memories. Imagine remembering where you were when you first heard a shocking news - that's it! 📸
    • Saxe and Kanwisher (2003): Figuring out someone else's false beliefs? Thank the tempo-parietal junction. It's the lie detector part of the brain!
    • Maguire et al (2000): London taxi drivers and their amazing ability to remember routes? The hippocampus is their GPS. 🚖
