This is debatable. A newborn baby can cry, breath, see, hear, feel, eat, etc etc. These all require some level of brain activity. Obviously, these low level functions are different from high level abstract thinking, but it shows that the brain is wired from the get-go. It is currently unknown how much of our higher brain functions are affected by the initial wiring., but it seems that our so called slate isn't entirely blank. It may be that the effect of the initial connections on later developement is negligable, it may not. I don't think we know enough currently to make that determination.
