Abstract

MOURAO JUNIOR, Carlos Alberto. The "neuroscience" in crisis. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.spe, pp. 16-33. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2020.v14.27597.

This essay both defines the challenges neuroscience is currently facing and sheds light on the causes of these challenges. Furthermore, possible solutions are proposed. These include changes in the ways resarch projects are evaluated, extinction of the mind-body problem as well as the term neuroscience, and the proposal that science that studies the nervous system returns to its origins focusing on its study object, becoming a natural science again.

Keywords : Neurosciences; Epistemology; Science (social aspects)..
