In neuroscience, data are acquired and analyzed with astonishing techniques and accumulate rapidly. Nevertheless, try to explain how a person can think or why there is such a condition as schizophrenia, and it appears that we really know little. To approach these difficulties, the authors first present a number of case studies in which the operation of a neural circuit is worked out in some detail and, at the same time, the functional significance of the operation is also understood. These examples are complicated in their biologic specifics but are conceptually straightforward. The examples are hoped to provoke an appreciation for what neuroscience can accomplish. The authors then develop some thoughts on how these issues can be addressed----instead of considering cognition in general, taking instead a subset of cognition that does lend itself to formal description. 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aCognitive neuroscience 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aNeuroscience 606 $aCognitive Neuroscience 606 $aPhilosophy of Mind 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aCognitive neuroscience. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 14$aNeuroscience. 615 24$aCognitive Neuroscience. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Mind. 676 $a745.05 700 $aTraub$b Roger$01736012 702 $aDraguhn$b Andreas 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910847087303321 996 $aBrain Leitmotifs$94155476 997 $aUNINA
