I think this has something to do with samskara, I read up briefly on the subject. Are samskara the same as neural pathways?

Nomaste Eric your question brought my thoughts back to this thread. I think u r just trying to put a concept that has been around for millennia  into scientific terms. Science is a relatively new discipline in history compared to the vedas and the concept of samskaras. But samskaras are a pattern of thought that permeates our consciousness. They are like lenses we see our reality thru them. Science is surely one of them. I would put your statement a little differently. Neural pathways are similar to samskaras.
