the ability to learn is associated with certain parts of the cerebrum. How do you think we know this?

Hitzig and Fritsch demonstrated that electrically stimulating certain areas of a dog’s cerebral cortex produced movements in the animal’s limbs—a pioneering approach to localizing function in the brain. Continuing this work, the American neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield began a series of operations in the 1930s to locate the source of seizures in human patients. To identify sites with abnormal electrical activity, Penfield placed small exposed wires called electrodes throughout the cerebral cortex of hundreds of patients. He used the electrodes to stimulate particular areas and observed the effects. Penfield found that simulating adjacent parts of the cortex, for example, affected adjacent parts of the arm. Specific sections of the cortex, he concluded, correspond to specific parts of the body surface. - See more at: http://www.dana.org/news/brainhealth/detail.aspx?id=10062#sthash.2VoRBiy9.dpuf
