Is this a proven fact?
I was under the impression that specific parts of the brain were built for certain tasks, but others can be repurposed.
- callesgg 4y agoFor the neocortex yes, but there are other (older & deeper) parts of the brain that are definitely task specific. If you come to me without a basal ganglia or a hippocampus. I would be very very surprised if you were "normal".
- felipemnoa 4y agoFrom what little I know and read it appears that the brain's neural organization is fractal in nature. The same patterns are used and reused at different levels and in all regions.
- trombonechamp 4y agoIt is definitely not true. One of the many trivial examples is that Betz cells only appear in motor cortex.
