How our modular brain pieces the world together
Picture a close friend. Imagine their face, the sound of their voice, their height, what they normally wear. You might be surprised to learn you have just used a host of different brain regions to recall this information. Curiously, there is no single brain region that is involved in representing the people we know. Seeing a friend's face or hearing their voice activates different parts of the brain. This is because the brain is modular. It is made up of numerous regions that perform specific tasks.
