Dear Dr. Qwerty,
BBS announcement
Cambridge University Press regrets to announce that Dr Stevan Harnad
(University of Southampton, UK) has resigned as Editor of Behavioral and
Brain Sciences. ÊWe are deeply grateful for the energy and commitment that
he has devoted to the journal since its foundation and launch in 1978. ÊHis
ideas and insights have always been stimulating and provocative, and he is
especially recognised for providing much of the impetus in the continuing
development and evolution of the exciting new endeavours of electronic
publication and dissemination of knowledge.
Cambridge is now consulting with Stevan and the Associate Editors of BBS
and will shortly be establishing a Search Committee to appoint a new
Editor. ÊIn the meantime, Dr Gavin Swanson, Editorial Manager, Cambridge
Journals, has assumed editorial responsibility for BBS in the interregnum.
All submissions and production or progress enquiries for BBS should
continue to be addressed to bbs(a)bbsonline.org

PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE SEMINAR

Multiple realization, meet molecular neuroscience
In the philosophy of mind, multiple realization refers to the claim that
one and the same logical kind (property, state, event) is realized in
vastly different physical kinds that share nothing of explanatory
relevance in common. Although puzzles about the realization relation
remain, this claim has acquired consensus status as a true and important
premise in an argument against all forms of psychoneural reduction and
type identity. In this paper, I challenge the truth of multiple
realization based on some recent discoveries in cellular and molecular
neuroscience shared across a variety of species and forms of learning
and memory. From sensitization and aversive conditioning in fruit flies
and sea slugs through hippocampal-mediated memories for context in
mammals, the same "second messenger" intracellular biochemical pathway
and molecular genetic process underlies specifically the "consolidation
switch" from short-term to long-term memory. Furthermore, this single
example illustrates a general principle of evolutionary conservatism at
the cellular/molecular level that we can expect to find at work in the
mechanisms for all psychological processes.
Multiple realization, meet molecular neuroscience. The biochemical and
molecular-genetic details that carry the bulk of the argument here will
be unfamiliar to many philosophers and cognitive scientists. But they
reflect the current state of our scientific knowledge. These details
thus serve a useful secondary purpose: they inform
scientifically-inspired philosophers and cognitive scientists about
recent developments in the cellular and molecular core of current
mainstream neuroscience.
