we are making a big assumption here: that neurons have tasks and are responsible for X. What if a neuron (actually a cortical column) could learn thousands of X and fire only when specific environmental conditions are met? What if you constantly wire and rewire the connections between neurons? What if multiple areas can do some thing and they arrive at a conclusion through consensus? what if your brain can predict a lot of things and just discards sensory input when it matches the expected prediction?
