The neural net would be the population. In the simplest view, what gets selected is associations. In the behaviorist model what gets selected is tendencies to do specific things in specific contexts.
In a physiological view, each neuron must have something equivalent to genes, a storage system that determines its contextual responses. Something that can vary and also store.
