An interesting hypothesis, but difficult to reconcile with the surprisingly successful history of hemispherectomy [1]. Unless, perhaps, many unique neurons still serve nearly identical functions, despite their differences? Perhaps their uniqueness is a defense against disease, rather than functional specialization? I don't mean "functions" in the sense of classic neuroscience, like specialized regions of the brain; I am using it as a very generic term, for lack of a better one.
