A recent contributor suggests that the human brain is a homogeneous
net and that if any region with a specialization is damaged, the
function can be recovered elsewhere.  I am no neurobiologist, but
it seems to me that i've encountered repeated references to the fact
that some brain regions' functions cannot simply be assumed by other
subnets after damage
