Localization of brain function

Localization of brain function refers to the idea that specific areas of the brain are responsible for different tasks or skills. For example, some regions are involved in language, while others control movement or processing sensory information. This concept helps us understand how the brain organizes complex activities across different regions, allowing different functions to be managed efficiently. While many functions involve multiple areas working together, certain parts are specialized for particular tasks, and damage to these areas can lead to specific deficits.
