"...many of our unique mental traits seem to have evolved through the novel deployment of brain structures that originally evolved for other reasons. This happens all the time in evolution. Feathers evolved from scales whose original role was insulation rather than flight. The wings of bats and pterodactyls are modifications of forelimbs originally designed for walking. Our lungs developed from the swim bladders of fish which evolved for buoyancy control. The opportunistic, "happenstantial" nature of evolution has been championed by many authors, most notably Stephen Jay Gould in his famous essays on natural history. I argue that the same principle applies with even greater force to the evolution of the human brain. Evolution found ways to radically repurpose many functions of the ape brain to create entirely new functions. Some of them - language comes to mind - are so powerful that I would go so far as to argue they have produced a species that transcends apehood to the same degree by which life transcends mundane chemistry and physics."

Denise Albe-Fessard
Denise Albe-Fessard was born in Paris in 1916. Albe-Fessard was a neuroscientist known for basic research on central nervous system pain pathways. Her main contributions dealt with distinguishing medial and lateral thalamic centers in nociception, which is the brain's processing of damaging stimuli. Albe-Fessard was the first president of the International Society for the Study of Pain, a position she held from 1975 to 1978. In 1973, she was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor, and in 1978, she was made an Officer of the Order of Merit.
Denise Albe-Fessard died in 2003 at the age of 86.
Sensory information streams in through our sensory systems and is immediately processed through our limbic system. By the time a message reaches our cerebral cortex for higher thinking, we have already placed a “feeling” upon how we view that stimulation -is this pain or is this pleasure? Although many of us may think of ourselves as thinking creatures that feel, biologically we are feeling creatures that think.

Israeli neuroscientists train 50-year-old man, blind from birth, to recognize visual images via sensory substitution.
Israeli neuroscientists trained a 50-year-old man, blind from birth, to recognize objects using a sensory substitution algorithm called EyeMusic.
Developed by Prof. Amir Amedi, founding director of the Baruch Ivcher Institute for Brain, Cognition & Technology at IDC Herzliya, EyeMusic converts visual stimuli into “soundscapes” — sound units that convey information about geometric shapes.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging of the man’s brain before and after he learned to recognize soundscapes revealed that neural circuits in his brain had formed “topographic maps” previously thought incapable of forming after infancy.
“The human brain is indeed more plastic during infancy, but it maintains an enormous potential for reprogramming throughout a person’s life,” said Amedi, who did groundbreaking research into sensory substitution devices at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem before joining IDC in 2019.
The latest study, reported in the journal NeuroImage, provides new evidence of the brain’s ability to change. It holds out promise that people can be trained to restore lost function, for example after a stroke.
According to cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Jacob Jolij's research, Queen’s 1970s hit Don’t Stop Me Now was the top feel-good song of all time. Abba’s Dancing Queen came in second place. – WTF Fun Facts
