Riassunto

Come il cervello giunga alla costruzione degli atti mentali è una questione affrontata nel corso dei secoli da due contrapposte scuole di pensiero: la teoria della localizzazione e la teoria dell’equipotenzialità. Secondo la prima, ogni funzione cerebrale è localizzata in una data regione del sistema nervoso mentre per la seconda, le funzioni cerebrali sono distribuite in tutta la rete neurale. Oggi sappiamo che nessuna delle due teorie è del tutto esatta. Localizzazione e distribuzione delle funzioni sono due aspetti complementari dell’organizzazione del sistema nervoso (Changeux, 1997).
