What are the foundational principles of #neuroscience? By which I mean: beliefs or assumptions that animate our study of the brain across topics. Things like a belief in a structure-function relationship or the neuron as the base unit.

@Neurograce

As dilettante I keep myself perplexed why it is that remains isolated/divided/splitted across too many sub-fields —except when asking individually, all are top-fields ;) — then even with competing foundational theories within & across them..

ie: still makes sense to keep differentiating cognitive psychology & cognitive neuroscience?

During pandemic's first/second year, on the bird site, I wrote something like:

» New day, new long in the making paper, plus also includes an extra section that proposes a new #neurotheory «

Then
@DrYohanJohn replied something like:

» You must be new in neuro «
And absolutely I was ;)

Latest #neuropod gem interaction:

@docartemis » talk about how the ideas in your book diverge from traditional thinking «

@PessoaBrain » Let me just say one thing:
figuring out exactly what is traditional thinking is really hard in neuroscience
...
people say, ok what's so different?
so, there's a whole spectrum, ...
when you push the field a little bit maybe too much,
they push back by saying either we knew ... or it's not what we really meant «

I said that?? I kind of like it 😁
By the way, I've had the experience you quoted so many times. It feels like every time we would take a colloquium speaker out...
