All Areas of the Brain function as the Same

Putnam-Fuller NS model 1964 pg

“there is a vast body of evidence pointing to the uniform functional character of all areas of the brain. Areas differ only in the parameters of this common function, as for example time constants, and ratio of cells of different “type”, and in the areas linked by the wires that come and go, etc. The uniform functional character of all areas force us to look to the structure of the environment, or the inputs themselves, as the source stabilizing internal structure.”

“Special brain centers do not represent a violation of this simple functional picture. Rather they reflect the correlated nature of the environmental inputs, and their breakup into such classes for special processing.”
