Reuse or re-function?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 33 (4):266-267 (2010)
Abstract
Simple specialization cannot account for brain functioning. Yet, we believe Anderson's reuse can be better explained by re-function. We suggest that functional demands shape brain changes and are the driving force behind reuse. For example, we suggest that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is built as an infrastructure for multi-functions rather than as a module for reuseOther Versions
