Localization of Motion Perception the Cortex Are there any principles of cortical organization common to all the sensory areas of the cortex? What is the significance of topographic and nontopographic maps? What functions are represented in cortex and are there basic structural and functional uniformities in the organization of the cortex? Gregory (1974) discusses the difficulties in taking over engineering methods into biology and some implications of this approach for the study of the central nervous system and most importantly localization of function. Modern methods attempt to analyze the whole in such a manner that its activity can be completely described by the causal relations between the parts. When a feature of behaviour is said to be localized in a part of the brain, the intended meaning is that some necessary, though not sufficient, condition for this behaviour is localized in a specific region of the brain Gregory,...
