brain and the shaping of the developing self by wiring synapses.
Its interesting to think about how learning and cognition may be limited by area specialization and subcortical hard wiring. While the general purpose cortex suits us well - allowing an animal evolved 200 thousand years ago to live in modern society - in what ways are we limited in grasping more profound concepts ? maybe we would be better at understanding multiple dimensions or infinity if not so wired.
