Part of the book series: Critical Issues in Neuropsychology ((CINP))

Abstract

Perhaps the central issue in neuropsychology over the past 100 years has been the question of how psychological functions are represented in the brain. At the turn of the century, the debate was largely whether or not functions were actually localized in the cortex. Although today this is no longer a subject of major discussion, the general problem of determining what is localized in the cortex remains. One way to examine this issue is to look at the way function and structure emerge in the developing child.
