But couldn't that alternatively be explained by the cerebral cortex being able to act as a "backup" of sorts for the cerebellum, to the extent of "neglecting" its ordinary tasks? It would make sense if the brain were to "consider" motor control to be at a higher priority than cognition, and was designed as such. (Sort of like in a pinch a kitchen might use a cook as a dishwasher.)
I'm using wishy-washy words here, sorry. I don't know how better to explain it.
- blennon 12y agoIt's unclear whether the circuitry of the cerebral cortex has the ability to implement the function of the cerebellum (whatever that may be, which we don't really understand). I think we're a long ways off from answering that question.
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoWell, given this development, I think it's fair to say there's something else that can implement the function of the cerebellum.
- blennon 12y agoSomething that can partially implement the function of the cerebellum.
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoTrue.
- cmdrfred 12y agoIt might be sort of like switching from hardware rendering of video to software rendering.
