[hmmmhmmmhmmm]

Thinking of the encoded genetic information developing over time as simply "training" the neural network of the brain doesn't quite capture development; proteins are manufactured and move in space as the brain is growing in space over time.

It sort of feels like training a neural network is like rewiring an adult brain which has already fully grown. Are there neural architectures which grow over time, or "age", emulating the early development of the brain?
