This lecture on neursocience (the search for a "unitary brain algorithm") makes this statement about 9 minutes in: "All cortex is the same". Basically, we have sections of our brain that perform certain functions...but if an area is damaged, other areas of the cortex can be repurposed to serve those functions. The cortex is the ecology in which networks form?
