From the broad study of the brain, in some general sense, we can conclude that the brain is divided

into functional regions. Each region performs specific tasks and is specialized; this indicates the specific spatial representation of the brain. There is strong association and interconnection between the different regions to make the system operate as a whole. How localized is the function in a region is a debatable issue. Some functions are found to be pretty localized, e.g. the fusiform face area (FFA) in the human extrastriate cortex is found to be critical for human face processing, and is relatively localized and very specific for human face recognition (Kanwisher et al., 1997). The parahippocampal place area (PPA) and retrosplenial cortex (RSC) are also found to be more specialized for the identification of objects (such as a house), spatial structure, and location in a visual scene. (Epstein et al., 2003; Epstein and Higgins, 2006). Hence, if a patient has a lesion on the FFA (Fig. 1.5), he may not be able to recognize faces, such as his wife or mother, and if his PPA and RSC are damaged, he may not be able to recognize his way home. However, there are debates on how locally specific these areasb are. For example, (Haxby et al., 2000) Haxby and colleagues reported that the FFA may not be as localized as it seems. However, more recent studies have increasingly supported the hypothesis that these are very localized and specific functional areas. Nevertheless, most scientists believe that many functions remain more distributed than localized. Distributed here refers to a set of neurons (currently I do not have good reference to support how many thousands of neurons) are involved either within
