Tricky pronouns
The passage below is from a book, The Evolving Self: Psychology for the Third Millennium. In this passage, what the underlined “it” represents is hard to find. In one way “it” seems to stand for “the specialized and disconnected information.” In another “it” seems to refer to “the brain.” Can you help me?

The capacity of reflection emerged in response to the brain’s millions of neuronal bundles, each evolved to perform a limited task, such as seeing color, keeping the body in balance, or detecting certain sounds. As the specialized and disconnected information provided by these neurons bounced around inside the brain, it eventually reached a level of complexity that made it necessary to have an internal traffic cop to direct and prioritize the flow of perceptions and sensations.
