One method we can use to study the brain relies on looking at people who had injured parts of their brain and have survived as scientists can link the damagedregion to changes in function.
MRI scanning highlights different parts of the brain that are active when doing different tasks.
Electrode stimulation puts electrodes in different parts of the brain to stimulate different functions allowing scientists to link parts of the brain with the functions they are responsible for.
In brain injuries, part of the brain is damaged. This leads to loss of certain functions, so if you know the area affected then this can be used to map functions.
