Reviews for Molecular Neurobiology of the Mammalian Brain

The average rating for Molecular Neurobiology of the Mammalian Brain based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2016-08-30 00:00:00 Gregory Shrader It´s a book about scientific explanation in neuroscience focusing in the normative aspects that allow us to distinguish good explanations form bad explanations. It defends a causal-mechanistic explanation and a corollary thesis: the mosaic unity of neuroscience.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-10-17 00:00:00 Howard Ellis A dense text integrated into the debates on method, research programmes and how neuroscience can contribute to these. Craver takes you through the pitfalls for specific theories of science and how they do not marry up with the way that neuroscience operates and explains the brain as a multidisciplinary exercise. Historical examples abound and the final conjecture, the mosaic unity of science with its multiple approaches to mechanism, is a valuable tool to understand neuroscience
