Building a Circuit-Diagram for the Brain (Jennifer Raymond, Stanford University)

Jennifer Raymond (Stanford University) is building a "wiring diagram" for the brain. By bridging the gap between individual synapses and whole-brain learning & memory, Raymond's research offers new insights and strategies for medical rehabilitation and K-12 education.

This is true to some extent, though the cause is different from what you state. I believe the American scientific community is more limited in it's productivity due to the structure of influence from outside of the scientific community (business, politics). I believe this structure is more limiting than elsewhere..

indeed! i like the way she describes the functions in the brain, and ties them in to what is generally considered typical events in daily life, and touches on much deeper issues without getting all 'doom and gloom' about it.

in addition, phrenology does have a lot going for it you know. as to why, if i had to speculate, i'd think it's to do with frequencies (eg environmental imprinting + development of biology) that go into shaping how a person grows and develops. maybe look at data on musical harmonic proportions and human skeleton, and recall the likes of monks preserving skulls cause they contain the energy imprint of the spiritual development level of the brain inside the skull when alive.

problem there is - if you taste things on different parts of your tongue, they do taste different depending what parts you taste them on. the brain is both compartmentalised and holographic, same way your body is a bunch of molecules and at the same time a packet of standing waves. i think brain injuries(?) like you mention show how good the brain can be at compensating for losses, sometimes it can re-organise itself.
