Abstract

Cognitive neuroscience is a discipline that attempts to determine the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive processes. Specifically, cognitive neuroscientists test hypotheses about brain-behavior relationships organized along two conceptual domains: functional specialization-the idea that functional modules exist within the brain, that is, areas of the cerebral cortex that are specialized for a specific cognitive process, and functional integration-the idea that a cognitive process can be an emergent property of interactions among a network of brain regions that suggests that a brain region can play a different role across many functions. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
