CONT

Les centres cérébraux qui traitent la couleur sont organisés comme les structures de compréhension et d'utilisation du langage. L'étude de patients souffrant de lésions cérébrales montre qu'un centre neuronal particulier gouverne les concepts des couleurs; un deuxième centre commande les mots désignant les couleurs, et un troisième centre assure la médiation entre les concepts et les mots.
