    Lauren Ross @ProfLaurenRoss and @DaniSBassett outline the different ways neuroscientists use the term mechanism, and they gather insight from nine scientists on how this variety makes it difficult to clarify standards in the field.

    In studying the brain, we almost always take the neuron’s perspective. But we can gain new insights by reorienting our frame of reference to that of the messages flowing over brain networks, writes Daniel J. Graham.
