He quantified the units of the cerebellar internal structures ... thought the mental faculties depended on their number, considering a relation (to) ... the expression of intellectual faculties ... thus providing the first nature-nurture hypothesis made on the basis of observations, and the concept of neuroplasticity in the scientific literature" (Zanatta et al.
