The OP is not about evolutionary algorithms in the usual sense (random mutation and selection over many generations).

It's about mechanisms in the brain that plausibly evolved over time.

It seems to be suggesting that neuron firing patterns (or something like that?) are selected by internal evolutionary processes.
