Advancing neuroscience is one of many topics that pose a challenge often called "the alignment problem"-the challenge, that is, of assuring that science policy is responsive to and in some sense squares with the public's values. This issue of the Hastings Center Report launches a series of scholarly essays and articles on the ethical and social issues raised by this vast body of medical research and bench science. The series, which will run under the banner "Neuroscience and Society," is supported by the Dana Foundation and seeks to promote deliberative public engagement, broadly understood, about neuroscience. As a social goal, deliberative public engagement is both ubiquitous and elusive-called for everywhere yet difficult to undertake at a national level on a complex scientific topic. To be meaningful, deliberative public engagement must occur in many locations in a society and be carried forward by many actors. Scholarly writing might contribute in several ways.
神经科学的发展是众多引发“一致性问题”挑战的议题之一，也就是说，要确保科学政策能回应并在某种意义上符合公众价值观。本期《黑斯廷斯中心报告》刊发了一系列学术论文和文章，探讨这一庞大医学研究和基础科学所引发的伦理和社会问题。该系列以“神经科学与社会”为主题，由丹娜基金会支持，旨在推动广义上关于神经科学的公众参与式讨论。作为一个社会目标，公众参与式讨论既普遍存在又难以实现——各地都有需求，但在国家层面就复杂科学议题开展却困难重重。要想有意义，公众参与式讨论必须在社会的多个场所进行，并由众多行为主体推动。学术写作可能会在多个方面有所贡献。
