Functional-structural concept of the brain

a comprehensive understanding of the nature of the human brain and its higher mental functions. This concept states that the brain is not just a collection of separate, independent regions, but a complex and interconnected network of functional systems that work in concert and harmony to achieve complex results. Each higher mental function (speech, memory, or thinking) does not arise from any one area, but requires a complex interaction of many constellations of neurons that work together in a dynamic way, complementing and enhancing the effectiveness of others. This concept emphasizes that any impairment or deficit of mental function can be the result of dysfunction in an interconnected network of systems, and not necessarily only in a particular area. This requires a diagnostic and therapeutic understanding that takes into account this structural and functional relationship.
