After an accident, a patient has damage to one region of the cerebrum.
The patient can no longer form new memories.
A scientist concludes that this region is the only part of the brain involved in memory.
Which is the best evaluation of this conclusion?
Valid, because the patient lost the ability to form memories after the damage.
Valid, because the cerebrum is the only region that carries out conscious thought.
Not valid, because memory is controlled by the medulla and not by the cerebrum.
Not valid, because one case cannot show that no other region is involved.
