Neuroscience has a long history of investigating the neural correlates of brain functions. One example is fear, which has been studied intensely in a variety of species. In parallel, unease about definitions of brain functions has existed for over 100 years. Because the translational impact of basic research hinges on how we define these functions, these definitions should be carefully considered.
神经科学长期以来一直在研究大脑功能的神经相关性。恐惧就是一个很好的例子,它在多种物种中都得到了深入研究。与此同时,人们对大脑功能定义的担忧已经存在了 100 多年。由于基础研究的转化影响取决于我们如何定义这些功能,因此应该仔细考虑这些定义。
