Cortical Localization

Cortical localization refers to the idea that specific areas of the brain's outer layer, called the cortex, are responsible for particular functions. For example, certain regions control movements, while others handle speech, vision, or problem-solving. This specialization allows the brain to process information efficiently and coordinate complex activities. Understanding cortical localization helps explain how different parts of the brain work together to enable behaviors and skills, and it guides treatments for brain injuries by targeting affected areas.
