  • neuroscience is actually a mass of disciplines: neurology, physiology, psychology, molecular biology and genetics, all of them ramped up by new ways of imaging the brain

  • brain scans are still blunt intruments
  • very clever doctors were more than happy to talk about what they did not know about the brain.
  • quasi-religious status
  • "neurosexism"
