Five principles governing the organization of the
major functional neural systems
1. Each system involves several brain
regions to carry out a specific information
processing.
2. Identifiable pathways link the components
of a functional system.
3. Orderly projections create topographic
maps.
4. Each functional system typically has both
hierarchical and parallel organizations.
5. A functional system on one side of the
brain is associated with the contralateral side
of the body.
