Can anyone advise reading material conserning new or ongoing research
in the area of genetic influences on the mechanics of information
storage and retreval in the human brain?
As one not well versed in the subject matter, I suggest that there is
reason to suspect that there may be a stroung genetic influance present
at conception which is responsible for constructing pathways to various
parts of the brain and which influences an indiviguals thought process
and dictates his or hers interest throughout life. This influence is
modified by environment over time but it is the dominent force by which
the indivigual preceives all aspects of their surroundings. For example,
a child born to world class musicians tends to be farmore apt in the
area of music than one who is not. Is it possible that this child has
far grater connections in more areas of the brain which are directly
related to music? Can this explane why this child might be fare more
sensitive, even in early years, to tones, pitch, recall of music related
memory, musical intrest, etc. If genitics have so prefound an inpact on
evry other aspect of the human construct then how can the brains
functionality not be equally influenced by the same genetic sceam of
things.
I would appreciate any and all comments and information from anyone with
information in this area of thought or study.
