await definitive explanations of cerebral specialization. Some past lessons also may need re-emphasis lest they be forgotten. For one, despite Wernicke’s warning against diagnosing fluent aphasia as psychosis, the error evidently occurs often enough to warrant mention in the psychiatric literature (e.g., [71, 72]). For another, the power of neuroimaging to pinpoint damage in injured brains and to identify activated regions under different cognitive and emotional conditions runs the risk of “over-localizing” and thus neglecting Hughlings-Jackson’s maxim about localizing symptoms versus localizing functions. These matters aside, the study of cerebral specialization has come a long way since its beginning, and, looking back, we can thank our predecessors for starting us on a challenging but rewarding scientific journey. Like all such journeys, it is far from over.
