Wednesday, November 06, 2002The brain is not primarily the product of genes, they say, but neither is it simply the sum of one's experiences. Rather, they say, each human brain is constructed of complex neural circuits that start taking shape before birth and continue to grow and change throughout life as genes and cells are influenced by environment, experience and culture "The attempt to separate genes and environment is a mistake," said Dr. Steven R. Quartz, a scientist at the California Institute of Technology. "What makes us who we are is a complex interplay of early experiences, parenting, birth order, friends, genes and how these forces interact." Now, why would it take so long for that idea to catch on? posted by Sydney on 11/06/2002 08:02:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
