The volume is structured across four themes: explanation and prediction, concepts and tools, metaphysical challenges, and mechanistic explanations. Chapters address Bayesian computation, topological and circuit/developmental explanations, data mining and neuroimaging progress, hierarchy and neural theories, neural reuse, and issues in localization, decomposition, and mechanistic completeness.","Studies in Brain and Mind 17  \nFabrizio Calzavarini Marco Viola Editors  \nNeural Mechanisms  \nNew Challenges in the Philosophy of Neuroscience  \nStudies in Brain and Mind  \nVolume 17  \nSeries Editor  \nGualtiero Piccinini, University of Missouri-St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA  \nEditorial Board  \nBerit Brogaard, University of Oslo, Norway, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL, USA  \nCarl Craver, Washington University, St. Louis, MO, USA  \nEdouard Machery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA Oron Shagrir, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel Mark Sprevak, University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK  \nMore information about this series at [http://www.springer.com/series/6540](http://www.springer.com/series/6540)  \nFabrizio Calzavarini • Marco Viola Editors  \nNeural Mechanisms  \nNew Challenges in the Philosophy of Neuroscience  \nEditors  \nFabrizio Calzavarini  \nDepartment of Letter, Philosophy, Communication  \nUniversity of Bergamo LLC, Turin, Italy  \nMarco Viola  \nDepartment of Philosophy and Education University of Turin  \nTurin, Italy  \nISSN 1573-4536 ISSN 2468-399X (electronic)  \nStudies in Brain and Mind  \nISBN 978-3-030-54091-3 ISBN 978-3-030-54092-0 (eBook)  \n[https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-54092-0](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-54092-0)  \n© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021  \nThis work is subject to copyright.
