  • Emerging evidence points to functional specialization within these systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the specialized capacities of neural systems in the primate brain.
  • To understand how different domains and levels of knowledge are acquired and retrieved.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of recent evidence on neural system distribution.
  • Examination of functional specialization in knowledge acquisition and retrieval.

Main Results:

  • Primate brains store knowledge in widely distributed neural networks.
