(physiology) the principle that specific functions have relatively circumscribed locations in some particular part or organ of the body
<noun.cognition>
Localization \Lo`cal*i*za"tion\, n. [Cf. F. localisation.] Act of localizing, or state of being localized.
{Cerebral localization} (Physiol.), the localization of the control of special functions, as of sight or of the various movements of the body, in special regions of the brain.
The challenge of satisfying the groe committed to using more local parts, but localization is generally only around 25-30 percent because of difficulty in finding Chinese suppliers with quality goods.
Such "localization" is needed partly because Americans know the U.S. market best, says a Matsushita Electric Corp. of America spokesman.
