I'm not a neurologist, but as far as I know, neuroplasticity lets the brain use other areas when damaged. But there are some 'defaults.' For example, the temporal lobe is ordinarily responsible for hearing and smelling. More importantly, this suggests the functions are discrete, as Minsky theorizes in the book, rather than some nebulous emergent amalgamation that can't be separated.I thought certain regions of the brain are associated with specific functions only because neuroplasticity?
