"The genetic code does not, and cannot, specify the nature and position of every capillary in the body or every neuron in the brain. What it can do is describe the underlying fractal pattern which creates them." --Academician Prokhor Zakharov, "Nonlinear Genetics" Despite what the exact number is, the brain's connections are much more numerous than the data in my DNA. All information flows from DNA. Chemistry between RNA & proteins & everything does change the end product, but even the chemistry that those do is largely controlled by DNA. (The DNA only produces proteins which does chemistry that it wants to do. Or there is chemistry already happening in the environment, which the development strategy accounts for, but which doesn't add much, if any, complexity to the brain.) And my quote, by the way, is from a fictional person.
