Through the postmortem study of the brains of people who have experienced brain injury

or damage, it is possible to correlate specific behaviors with specific regions of the brain. Psychologists and physiologists who study the relationship of behavior and brain function in this way are building upon the earlier work of a. Helmholtz. b. Flourens. c. Broca. d. Galvani. e. Müller.
