A Proposal for a Decade of the Mind Initiative

It is believed that paradigm-shifting progress can be made now by establishing a major national research initiative called “The Decade of the Mind,” which should be transdisciplinary and multi-agency in its approach.

Integration and interdisciplinarity in contemporary neurosciences

Interdisciplinarity is a key quality in contemporary Neurosciences, where classical disciplines such as anatomy, pharmacology, physiology or behaviour need to be integrated with the more recent powerful techniques in genetics, molecular biology and proteomics.

The decade of the brain: a brief review.

A bird's eye view of the recent advances in the fields of developmental neurobiology, neurogenetics, neurochemistry and imaging of the brain, which have direct relevance for the clinicians are provided.

The Neuroscientification of Psychology: The Rising Prevalence of Neuroscientific Concepts in Psychology From 1965 to 2016

The apparent convergence of psychology and brain science has been the subject of both celebration and critique, but it has never been systematically charted. We examined historical trends in the…

La década del cerebro (1990-2000): algunas aportaciones

An analysis upon the most important hallmarks achieved within the several neuroscience fields: the brain-behaviour relationship, neuroanatomy and brain imaging, developmental neurobiology, neurotransmitters, receptors and cytokines, reconstructive neurology, Alzheimer and others neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders, and other neurological conditions.

The language of visual representations in the neurosciences — relating past and future

This article analyzes the changing trajectories to an integrative theory of the brain in its second section and examines the relationship between form and function within the material culture of neuroscience to reveal an astonishingly heterogeneous investigative and conceptual terrain.

Towards a Theory of Brain Structure and Function

The eminent mathematician Henri Poincare wrote “The aim of science is not things in themselves, as the dogmatists in their simplicity imagine, but the relations between things; outside those…

Hypnosis and Imaging of the Living Human Brain

Converging findings intimate that hypnotic suggestions seem to induce specific neural patterns that subserve hypnotic phenomena, and propose that suggestions may have the ability to target focal brain networks.

A Century of Brain Regeneration Phenomena and Neuromorphological Research Advances, 1890s–1990s—Examining the Practical Implications of Theory Dynamics in Modern Biomedicine

The history behind multiple biological phenomena that were studied and became theoretically connected with the thesis of brain regeneration from Santiago Ramón y Cajal's pioneering work since the 1890s to the beginning of the American “Decade of the Brain” in the 1990s are explored.
