This comes 6 weeks too late for your assignment , but if you have lingering curiosity follow us with Michael L Anderson, PhD. He recently published After Phrenology: Neural Reuse and the Interactive Brain

"The computer analogy of the mind has been as widely adopted in contemporary cognitive neuroscience as was the analogy of the brain as a collection of organs in phrenology. Just as the phrenologist would insist that each organ must have its particular function, so contemporary cognitive neuroscience is committed to the notion that each brain region must have its fundamental computation. In After Phrenology, Michael Anderson argues that to achieve a fully post-phrenological science of the brain, we need to reassess this commitment and devise an alternate, neuroscientifically grounded taxonomy of mental function.

Anderson contends that the cognitive roles played by each region of the brain are highly various, reflecting different neural partnerships established under different circumstances. He proposes quantifying the functional properties of neural assemblies in terms of their dispositional tendencies rather than their computational or information-processing operations." Amazon Books

In other words, the same activity can occur in various parts of the brain and readily switch depending on the input/output in the instant that we measure the activity. It is a specialized study of the imbodied-cognitive perspective of brain science. You can also listen to an interview with Anderson at http://brainsciencepodcast.com/bsp/2015 ... ural-reuse
