BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR Functional Specialization • In terms of brain function‚ what is functional specialization? Functional specialization is the function of the nervous system. Each of the neurons located within the nervous system are grouped into clusters‚ these clusters have a specific purpose in the body’s function. Such as movements of the limbs‚ emotions‚ memory and bodily functions. • Why is the principle of complex communication important to understand? The principle of complex

The goal of this thesis was to show that brain perfusion SPECT can help to clarify important issues regarding the prodromal MCI stage of AD and relapsing NMO. Specifically‚ this thesis shows: 1. That based on recently published literature‚ brain perfusion SPECT is a valid biomarker of neuronal injury in MCI due to AD in both clinical and research settings‚ equivalent to FDG-PET but less expensive and more accessible worldwide (Chapter 2). 2. That brain perfusion SPECT combined with graph theoretical

Theory of brain specialization suggests that different parts of the brain control specific tasks. For example‚ we know that the left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for language. Through these findings‚ Gardner was able to develop his own theory of multiple intelligences (MI Theory) which defends the idea that different regions of the brain are in control of different aspects of intelligence or‚ more correctly‚ different intelligences all together. To defend his theory of multiple intelligences
