The brain‚ which weighs only three pounds and is made up of eighty percent water‚ is the key organ of our nervous system.

The Brain and Behavior BEH 225 September 21‚ 2014 Clifford Marsh Behaviors associated with the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe both covers a certain scope of human behaviors. Because every part of the brain controls a certain part of human behavior‚ damage to a certain part of the head will only affect certain behaviors of an individual. In addition‚ damage to certain areas can cause aphasia‚ which is a speech disturbance resulting from brain damage (Coon & Mitterer‚ 2013). As

One study of localisation of function in the brain is Maguire (2000)‚ who looked at the role of the hippocampus in spatial memory. Localisation is a theory that different parts of the brain are responsible for certain behaviours or functions. The hippocampus is located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain‚ and is associated with memory and spatial navigation. Maguire’s study provides some insight into the localisation of these functions in the hippocampus. Maguire’s study was a natural experiment
