So are you saying that the conditions in the womb doesn't have any effect on brain structure?
By the way, try to aim higher than DH3 because it's hard for me to understand what exactly you're disagreeing with if you don't provide me with a counterargument. Sorry for the bother.
You are welcome to "bother" anytime.
I eat a lot. A half to a kilogram per day. What is the amount of information I've got this way? Very little, if any. Even drinking of a lot of alcohol - what I don't - and which would destroy my livers, would mean a very miniscule data transfer.
Some brain stimulating drugs one might take, and what brings him a significantly higher intelligence, is not a big data flow.
Just isn't. Biologists should respect what "information" and "data stream" and so on - mean.
I agree, yet none of that changes the fact that conditions in the womb have a large impact on brain development. Hence information about the conditions in the womb is required to generate a specific new-born’s brain. Sure when an adult takes a stimulating drug there's not a large data flow, but when the brain is actually forming drugs can fundamentally alter its final structure.
