So apparently if you swap nerves that connect to visual and auditory processing while an animal is still an embryo, cortex can just adapt and the brain ends up functioning normally. What if you take a bunch of brain tissue that grows in a container outside the animal and connect it using nerves to the developing brain? Will it learn to make use of it? What if you connect two brains? What if you use brains of two different species?
