This is, unironically, what my auntie Patricia said to my mum on the occasion of her eighth pregnancy, which was probably fair enough.
Researchers recorded from single neurons across frontotemporal cortex in 8 awake individuals during natural speech. They show how activities of collections of cells can capture syntactic & semantic properties of words, & also dynamically incorporate sentence context to encode combinatorial info.

Wide-scale recordings reveal neurons in the human brain that encode fundamental components of language such as the grammatical relationships between words, their parts of speech and the...
As neurons migrate to their final destinations in the forming brain, their DNA gets damaged. The brain has evolved a fix, but there can be lasting consequences if repair fails.
