Provide an explanation for why the brain might be organized in a modular manner, i.e. that specific parts of the brain may have different functions and can operate relatively independently from one another. Discuss evidence for this type of organziational principle within the brain. What do you think could be the advantages of such a design? What might be the consequence(s) of a failure in modularity (good or bad)?
