Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

In behavioural neuroscience the lesion method is a research technique rather than the tissue itself: a specific brain region is deliberately damaged, or a naturally occurring injury is studied, and the function of that region is inferred from the deficits that appear once it stops working. The approach runs from Broca's nineteenth-century aphasia cases to modern imaging, and Rorden and Karnath's 2004 Using human brain lesions to infer function reviewed its logic and its standing beside functional imaging. Here the word names a way of reasoning about which part of the brain does what, so the referent is an inferential method built on damage, not the clinical patch of injured tissue it exploits, and not a diseased spot on a plant.[1]
