Explanation / Answer

Hi,

First full question is solved as per our regulations.

The brain functional specialization proposes that different areas of the brain are specialized for specific functions. The frontal lobe, occipital lobe, cortex etc are specialized to carry out specific functions. Loss or damage to these areas can lead to loss of associated functions.

2. The principle of complex communicate deals with how different neural networks function. It is important to understand them because doffdiffe parts of brain and neural networks are inter connected and inter dependent and get influenced by each other.
