The neuronal recycling hypothesis was proposed by Stanislas Dehaene in the field of cognitive neuroscience[1] in an attempt to explain the underlying neural processes which allow humans to acquire recently invented cognitive capacities.[2] This hypothesis was formulated in response to the 'reading paradox',[2] which states that these cognitive processes are cultural inventions too modern to be the products of evolution. The paradox lies within the fact that cross-cultural evidence suggests specific brain areas are associated with these functions.[1] The concept of neuronal recycling resolves this paradox by suggesting that novel functions actually utilize and 'recycle' existing brain circuitry. Once these cognitive functions find a cortical area devoted to a similar purpose, they can invade the existing circuit. Through plasticity (an ongoing characteristic of the brain's cortical structure to change and reorganize through learning),[3] the cortex can adapt in order to accommodate for these novel functions.[2]
