Robert M. Sapolsky Quote
The sensory cortex and visual cortex are far away from each other. How do those tactile neurons know (a) that there’s vacant property in the visual cortex; (b) that hooking up with those unoccupied neurons helps turn fingertip information into reading; and (c) how to send axonal projections to this new cortical continent? All are matters of ongoing research.
