About the Session:
There has been a longstanding question at the heart of neuroscience, a debate that had been raging on for centuries and remains to this day without a complete resolution. In simple terms the question is: “are brain functions localised to different parts of the brain, or are they distributed?” That is, is there a specific part of the brain responsible for different functions, or does every part of the brain contribute to every function?
