I was disappointed that the author didn’t mention the evolution of neurogenesis as the driver for modularity and more complex architectures. Simply trying to design modularity won’t be enough. We’re going to need to incorporate developmental models that are themselves a product of evolution. What’s interesting about this is that gene regulatory networks that evolve and which orchestrate development from a single cell to a complex organism and those networks can also be modeled as neural networks. In effect, evolution took the most powerful computational system (gene regulatory networks) and reimplemented it with neural networks.
