There is another sign that the kid has become the judge: in the last scene, the judge "embrace" the kid, as he does with everything he writes in his notebook. The two become one. But still there is one question that make me think: when the kid becomes the man, it seems that he had abandoned the evil life he spent before.

While it does to some extent determine the importance of stimuli to recognize specific features and patterns, it stands as a platform of almost pure observation. I would however like to direct your attention to the amygdala rather than the hypothalamus when searching for a way to analyze importance.
