No, a big clump of neurons in that area is innate. When hooked up to functioning eyes, what we call the “visual cortex” develops in the vast majority of sighted people. If it were truly innate, babies would be born with fully functioning visual processing centers, which they are not.
There is also every reason to suspect this doesn’t happen in congenitally blind individuals, where the visual feedback loop is not available during neural development.
fair point, I think you are right.
But I think that things that are innate doesn't have to be fully developed in babies. Puberty is also innate but develops in teenagers
