Neurology is still big and growing, but also the critique is getting bigger. Some interesting reads:

• Why do some critics refuse to accept that the solution to many mysteries of the mind will be found in the brain? There’s a lot more to neuroscience than media ‘neuromania’, argues Mark Stokes.
• There is a new book called ‘Brainwashed’ by Satel and Lilienfeld. Neuroskeptic wanted to dislike it, but has to admit it’s pretty great.
• Btw, I also learned from Neuroskeptic that smarter children have more grey matter 60 years later, but not sure what this means.
• Is the prevailing view of how the brain is wired overturned? A series of studies conducted by Randy Bruno, PhD, and Christine Constantinople, PhD, of Columbia University’s Department of Neuroscience, topples convention by showing that sensory information travels to two places at once: not only to the brain’s mid-layer (where most axons lead), but also directly to its deeper layers.
• And last but not least, new brain research shows that there maybe is really something like food addiction.
