On the basis of patterns of neural connectivity, Felleman and van Essen have proposed that brain function is:
A) vertically integrated.
B) hierarchical and reflexive.
C) distributed and hierarchical.
D) reflexive and distributed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Felleman and van Essen's proposal suggests that brain function is both distributed and hierarchical, meaning that different brain regions have specialized functions and also communicate with each other, creating a complex network of information processing. This idea is supported by research on neural pathways and connectivity, as well as studies on brain function in both healthy individuals and those with neurological disorders. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.
