Behavioural epigenesis(ethogenesis) is linked to the way neuronal connections are organised(theory of selective stabilization). The development of the neuronal networks is a characteristic process :"the phase of synaptic redundancy followed by a phase of regression in the axonal and dendritic branches is a critical period of development... The redundancy is temporary. Active nerve endings are eliminated all the while the nervous system itself is expanding. 2, record 4, English, - etheogenesis
