It might also just be wrong (you don't know until you research), because talents don't have to be about brain wiring.
The could also come from the fact that there is a higher amount of some chemical in the brains of those persons with the talent compared to people who don't have the talent.
Maybe the people with the talent also have a mutation in some gen that produces a better protein that increase some mental function.
It could also be a mix out of different factors (and different talents could have different factors).

It would be interest to have reaserch the neurobiological basis of those talents, but until that point it's easy to be wrong when one just talks a bit about neurons doing something.
Your talents arise from your synaptic connections, and your synaptic connections arise from your genes.

Talent is not something you either have or not; everybody has talent, just as we all have genes.

As always, heh, you seem to be doing the thing where you try to be critical about what I'm saying without really understanding what I'm saying.

Interestingly, this is because of your talent configuration (that is different from my configuration, and the configuration of someone else), and from experience, interacting with people with talents similar to yours is, at least for me, not productive.

So yeah, you can read my posts, etc, but I'm not going to respond. Trust me when I say it won't be in either of our best interest.
