Full Idea
The rejection of the classical approach to brain research rejects the idea that brain areas are strictly specialised (e.g. sensory or motor), worries about laboratory simplifications, and asserts the importance of animal behaviour.
Gist of Idea
Brain research should reject sharp boundaries, excessive simplification, and neglect of animals

A Reaction
As an outsider, I totally approve of all three of these developments. If we neglect animals, we overemphasise language (as happened in 20th century philosophy).
