Did anyone ever suppose the genome could possibly describe the functioning of the brain? After all, learning to play an instrument doesn't change your genome, and who could even take a stab at estimating how many bits of storage it takes to "store" mastery?
- tmzt 12y agoI took it to mean that there isn't enough storage in the genome to encode the initial full linkage of neurons, not that learning would have to be written back to the genome in order to change the ongoing network.
