I think parts of the brain are non-pretrained learning algorithms, and parts of the brain are not learning algorithms at all, but rather innate reflexes and such. See my post Learning from scratch in the brain for justification.
My view is that all innate reflexes are a form of software operating on the organic turing machine that is our body. For more info on this you can look at the thinking of michael levin and joscha bach.
