Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All four proposals agree that the information is distributed, meaning that it is not localized in a single area of the brain but rather spread out across various regions. This view contrasts with the idea of a single "grandmother cell" that represents a particular concept. None of the proposals suggest that the information is subordinate or fragile. While the idea of graded representation is relevant to some of the proposals, it is not a defining feature that all of them share.
