Ah, sorry. I was reading it with nothing particular in mind, and was mostly struck by the chicken/egg conundrum. (Boy, that's a hard word to spell.)

I do believe that our brains are changed by many types of experiences. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to learn that it changed because of being awash in the chemicals of clinical depression, or childbirth, or SSRI's. My concentration has gone to heck, and I'm pretty sure my IQ has dropped drastically. Childbirth, motherhood, depression, anxiety, meds, age, I just don't know.

But brains are relatively elastic and self repairing. Given time, I think it can recalibrate itself to some extent. How much, I don't know.
