The 42 pages that link to Neuroscience, each with the reason it gives.
BehaviorismNarrower topic: Neuroscience explains behavior through biological mechanisms beyond behaviorism’s preferred level of analysis.
ReductionismRelated: Neural explanations often connect cognition and behavior to brain processes.
Mind–body problemRelated: Brain findings constrain theories about how mental life depends on physical processes.
Francis CrickRelated: In his later career, Crick turned to questions about consciousness and brain function.
PsychiatryNarrower topic: Neural research informs biological accounts of psychiatric symptoms and treatment.
MaterialismRelated: Its findings inform materialist accounts of mental processes and consciousness.
PsychologyRelated: Neuroscience investigates biological processes that support psychological functions.
Hodgkin–Huxley modelNarrower topic: The model became a foundational quantitative account within modern neuroscience.
Substance dualismRelated: Dependence of mental capacities on brain states creates pressure on claims of separable substances.
EndocrinologyCompared with: Endocrinology focuses on chemical signaling, while neuroscience also studies rapid neural communication.
Eliminative materialismNarrower topic: It is the broad empirical enterprise expected to explain cognition more accurately than everyday psychology.
NeuroethicsNarrower topic: Neuroethics examines both the methods and consequences of this scientific field.
Property dualismRelated: Neuroscience maps brain–mind correlations that property dualism must interpret without reducing mental properties.
Neuron doctrineNarrower topic: The doctrine established cellular organization as a foundation for the field.
Rhesus macaqueRelated: Macaque brain anatomy and behavior support research on perception, movement, and cognition.
Cold Spring Harbor LaboratoryRelated: The laboratory’s neuroscience program extends its research beyond genetics and cell biology.
Phineas GageNarrower topic: Gage became a widely cited historical figure in the development of brain science.
Alan HodgkinNarrower topic: Hodgkin’s quantitative physiology became a foundation for modern cellular neuroscience.
Eric KandelNarrower topic: Kandel’s work helped unite cellular, molecular, and behavioral approaches within the field.
John EcclesNarrower topic: Eccles’s experimental research helped shape modern study of neural communication.
NeuroethologyNarrower topic: Neuroethology uses its tools to connect neural activity with natural behavior.
Mind (mental faculty)Narrower topic: It supplies the biological methods used to investigate the brain processes associated with mind.
NeuroendocrinologyNarrower topic: Neuroendocrinology adds endocrine communication to neuroscience's broader study of neural systems.
Colleen McCulloughRelated: Her research work in neuroscience preceded her success as a novelist.
Donald GlaserNarrower topic: Glaser later became a neurobiologist, studying visual processing and how the brain represents information.
Edvard MoserNarrower topic: Moser’s work became a landmark in the study of neural coding.
NeuropsychiatryNarrower topic: Neuropsychiatry draws on neuroscience while remaining a clinical medical specialty.
Anesthesia and AnalgesiaRelated: Pain and anesthetic mechanisms draw on nervous-system research.
Behavioural sciencesCompared with: It explains behavior through neural systems, a different level of analysis.
BiomechatronicsRelated: Understanding neural signals and pathways guides interfaces that sense or stimulate them.
BioroboticsNarrower topic: Neural mechanisms provide models for robotic sensing and control.
Clinical neuroscienceNarrower topic: Clinical neuroscience draws its foundational models and discoveries from this broader field.
Communication sciencesCompared with: Neuroscience supplies explanations of brain mechanisms but does not define the field’s clinical scope.
Erwin NeherNarrower topic: Patch-clamp recordings reveal the channel activity underlying neuronal signaling.
Gerald EdelmanNarrower topic: Edelman’s later career applied biological reasoning to the nervous system and consciousness.
History of neuroscienceNarrower topic: Its emergence as an interdisciplinary field is the culmination of the history traced here.
Human biologyRelated: It investigates the biological basis of sensation, cognition, and behavior.
Mathematical and theoretical biologyNarrower topic: Mathematical models describe neural dynamics, coding, and networks.
NeurophysicsNarrower topic: Neurophysics is a physical and quantitative approach within this broader study.
PsychodynamicsCompared with: It investigates mental life through biological mechanisms rather than primarily through inferred motives.
Psychological phenomenaCompared with: It explains mental activity through biological systems and methods.
Robert EttingerNarrower topic: Ettinger’s hope for revival assumes that the brain’s identity-bearing information can survive preservation.
