Localisation of function in the brain

?

Localisation vs Holistic theory.

Paul and Karl discovered that areas of the brain are associated with physical and psychological functions. 

Before this they supported the holistic theory: which states that all areas of the brain are involved in processing thought and action.

However, Wernicke and Broca argued the localisation of function- that parts of the brain are associated with different tasks and functions, which controls different body parts.
