Document Summary
Although the functioning of parts of the brain can be localized, there is also considerable overlap in their function. Therefore, many behaviors and abilities are represented in several locations within the brain. Also, everything we do involves the brain working as an integrated whole; many brain areas work in concert to create our conscious experience and help us accomplish our everyday functions. One is a list of brain structures, the other a list of common activities. Pick three of the activities, and for each of the activities you choose, pick three of the brain structures, and explain how they might be involved in that activity.
