New Brain Map?

Mapping the brain, or neuromapping, was done by looking at and dissecting the human brain. In today's world, we have a new way to do it! Continued below.
The human brain was divided into roughly 70 sections based on what they do in the body. This map was the generally agreed upon standard, until this year. Recently scientists have decided to re-map the brain using MRI and CAT scans. This time they categorized the different regions based on their activity, and found something quite interesting. The team of researchers remapped the brain, adding about a hundred different segments, bringing the new map to a total of around 180 sections. But don't you worry, college students. You will probably not have to relearn the whole map of the brain quite yet. Further studies need to be done to affirm that the research was correct, as there are skeptics. Whenever something in the world of science is changed, there tend to be a lot of people who want to make sure before just believing it is true. After all, science is all about repeatable results.
