Which one accurately describes range fractionation?

Which one accurately describes range fractionation?
A comedian used the term "oral fixation" I thought it was a joke, but people are talking on the internet about it. Is it real or just pseudo science?
Is 'full maturity' of the brain a popsci myth?
Do kangaroos give birth directly into their pouch, or does the baby have to climb in?

I'm really confused. In a group of cells, does range fractionation mean there are sections of different stimulus intensity cells or are they randomly scattered throughout the group?

Ie. "HHHMMMLLL" OR "HMLMHLMHL"

Everything I've seen online seems bro science or just related to Sigmud Freud, and I think he's famous for being really wrong. Basically my idea was that Sigmund Freud's ideas weren't good, his ideas were so famous becuase in spite of that, he was a great writer.

Is 'full maturity' of the brain a popsci myth?

I've seen so many different numbers for it ranging from 18-48. I've read that the prefrontal cortex is able to change shape well into someone's thirties and forties, so how do you define its full development? Neural pruning? That doesn't have an exact age either. Evidence just seems to point to the brain either constantly maturing or changing shape based on experiences one makes in life.
