That doesn't sound right. I don't see how you could locate recursion "in" the brain. Michael Corvallis claims that recursion is made possible by an expansion of working memory capacity. That makes sense to me. (BTW, why do we always have to have these "silver bullet" theories of "what makes us human"?) The massive human frontal lobe also helps us to engage in metacognition, thinking about thinking. So a whole range of regions in the brain would be involved in recursive thinking.
