The physiological basis of purely mental work is not yet well understood; but what little we do know of the growth of brain structure seems to indicate that practice in any kind of thinking develops new connections between different parts of the brain. (Principles: 250–2) However, the connections between Marshall’s studies of the functioning of the human brain and his later economic writings extend well 24 Equilibrium and Evolution beyond that of analogous explanation.
