Oh dear, just because more than one spot lights up there isn't
a "centre"?! Can someone name =any= brain function or activity
that is localized to a single spot? To my mind, it doesn't make
sense to talk about centres for this or that function until we
at least define what we mean by "centre" in this context.
You're right. All this talk about centers is a bunch of horsecrap. It fits
in nicely with animism, though, and mainstream psychology, and the fields it
has corrupted, is just a "modern" form of animism.
You're seeing the crap before the horse. Modern neurology got its start
from the apparent connections between specific brain injuries and
associated behavioural changes. Some were borne out, others were not.
So it goes, and now we sharpen the focus.
