Brain delocalization is constrained by embryonic connective organization

Evidence

But this analogy has limits: in the brain, delocalization is not total, or, rather, localization is not fortuitous. It depends upon a connective organization emplaced at the embryonic phase. Each region, of the cortex in particular, therefore possesses a de facto specialization, determined by its connections and its position in the information-processing line. — Catherine Malabou, What Should We Do with Our Brain?, 20
