'Subcortical structures' are areas of the brain below the cortex, which is the outermost layer (i.e., the grey matter). The limbic system is one example of a subcortical structure - although technically it isn't just one structure. The limbic system actually consists of a number of key areas related to sensory integration, learning, memory, emotionality, and decision-making. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system

Can different parts of brain can function or responsible for same thing?
In almost all the cases the most of the brain has taken part in processing the information. Some part of the brain is primarily take part in some particular function. The intense desire of the scientists to attribute the particular job to particular area create the impression that the brain parts work in isolation. For example you have basic instincts like hunger and sex in limbic system of the brain. But it can not function without the involvement of the cerebral cortex.
What would two regions with the same climate have in common?
two regions with the same climate usually have the same line of latitude
Does the human brain have the same shape as that of the cattle?
Basically the same design and structures but in detail the shape of the whole brain and it components are different.

What does it mean when there are multiple abnormal foci of high T2 signal scattered along the subcortical and periventricular region?
Your physician should explain you the protocol, but I can try to help a bit though i'd need more details. This is the protocol of a Magnetic Resonance scan (MRI, MRT, KST,... it has many names), i assume of your brain. They see multiple nodes that give a high signal on T2 images. Basically, they see nodes, and the fact that they light up on T2 tells you something about their contents. On T2 images, what lights up has a density about the same as water. About the subcortical and periventricular: this is just the region, subcortical = under the cortex. The cortex is the outer rim of your brain. Periventricular = around the ventricle, a ventricle is a chamber of cerebrospinal fluid in your brain. All things together, my guess (can only guess as i don't have more details and can't see the images), is that these are cysts.
Are land regions the same thing as regions Bulgaria?
no
What would two regions with the same climate have in common?
two regions with the same climate usually have the same line of latitude
Are male and female brains the same size?
On average, male and female brains are similar in size. However, there can be differences in specific brain regions and structures between males and females. It is important to note that brain size alone does not determine intelligence or cognitive abilities.
How does the parietal work?
The parietal lobe is one of the four major lobes, regions of the cerebral cortex. This particular lobe works to process sensory information for other parts of the brain, and at its core works via the same electrical pulses the rest of the brain uses to function.

Is metastatic SOL's in brain is same as brain cancer?
Metastatic SOL's or tumors found in the brain are same as brain cancer. Metastatic tumors are one of the most common type of tumors found in the brain.
