Good luck and have fun: the precise organization of brain function is a controversial topic that has yet to be fully resolved. On one end of the spectrum, the modular view purports that the brain is organized into isolable, functionally-specific regions. At the other end of the spectrum, the equipotentiality view holds that the brain operates as a whole and cannot be decomposed into distinct, functional subunits. Based on the evidence discussed in class and that obtained in your independent research, provide a reasoned argument supported by empirical findings that articulates your position within this spectrum. Localization of brain function aka modularity view aka functionally-specific brain parts aka brain.
