Description: Uses animation and models to locate the areas of the brain and demonstrates the effects of injury to each area. Points out the visual area, parietal area, central sector, and language areas. Shows the effects of stimulating various parts of the brain during surgery and illustrates the changes of behavior following injury to each of these areas. Depicts the difficulties an actual patient has with speech when the language area is injured., Demonstrates two ways by which we can study the function of different brain areas in human behavior--the method of artificially stimulating different parts of the brain with an electrode and observing the results --and the method of measuring by means of tests the changes in behavior following injuries in different areas of the brain.
