In laboratories and in the pages of Nature, scientists have identified the precise mechanisms by which biological neural networks establish their foundational wiring — the initialization process that determines, before a single learned experience intervenes, how a brain will be organized. This is not merely a discovery about biology; it is a moment where the ancient intelligence of evolution offers a lesson to the engineers building artificial minds. Understanding how nature solves the problem of beginning may reshape how we understand what goes wrong in development, and how we design the lear
