Explain what is meant by localization of function in the brain along with possible conceptual issues of this theory.

Localisation Of Function (LOF) is the theory that certain areas of the brain correspond to certain functions and reflects the notion that behaviour, emotions and thoughts originate in the brain in specific locations. However, one must say that this theory is controversial to some extent, because it can be argued that cognitive skills, eg. learning, are properties of the whole brain and not just restricted/localised to one brain area, hence this conceptual limitation should be taken into account when drawing conclusions on LOF.
