Maybe there's only defaults because those are the pieces of the brain that are hooked up to hearing and smelling when we're born. They only seem like defaults because they've been wired for input from the ears and the nose for a long, long time, but if you switched those "wires" to a different section of the brain at birth, it would be just the same. I'm not a neurologist either, but I feel like if you have a generic algorithm that allows for neuroplasticity, then it's probably generic everywhere in the brain.
