I used to have the impression that the brain is more "mixed up" than it really is. It's quite hard to get the right impression as a layman. Experts push too hard towards the extreme that makes us think that everything is involved in everything and it's all thoroughly uniformly mixed, advising against believing those old naive brain charts etc. But really, certain functions are remarkably well localized. This kind of overcorrection is quite common if one often reads HN-like "well actually"-content, which is supposed to supplement a common perception with a small caveat. Beware of internalizing just the caveat and forgetting the main thrust.
