functional localization

Functional localization is the idea that specific parts of the brain are responsible for particular activities or functions. For example, certain areas handle movement, language, or problem-solving. This concept helps scientists understand how our brain is organized and how it controls different aspects of our behavior and abilities. It's like different rooms in a house each have their own purpose; similarly, different brain regions have specialized roles, allowing us to perform complex tasks efficiently.
