Brain networks require a network-conscious psychopathological approach

Achille Pasqualotto. Behav Brain Sci. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

In experimental psychology and neuroscience, technological advances and multisensory research have contributed to gradually dismiss a version of reductionism. Empirical results no longer support a brain model in which distinct "modules" perform discrete functions, but rather, a brain of partially overlapping networks. A similarly changed brain model is extending to psychopathology and clinical psychology, and partly accounts for the problems of reductionism.
