The analysis

The retrieved papers provide robust support for the claim that hereditary (genetically programmed and preconfigured) neural circuits are created in the brain during early development. Studies on the genetic control of wiring specificity, preconfigured firing sequences in organoids and early cortex, and the genetic establishment of sensory circuits all align with the claim. No papers refute it.
