He studied how different areas of the brain influence perception, memory, and behavior by examining both animals and humans. His work helped clarify the roles of specific brain regions in cognition, contributing significantly to our understanding of brain-behavior relationships. Ferrier’s research laid foundational knowledge for neuroscience, highlighting how brain damage can affect mental processes, and advancing the development of treatments for neurological conditions.
