This is completely fucken stupid. Are we really gonna argue about whether we need multidisciplinary approaches that attack big biological problems at various levels of reductionism?

No, we’re going to sit back and chuckle self-satisfiedly at each other’s conceits. like usual.

I mean the fucken galactic scale stupidity of Scienerdorkeekist is mind-boggling.
So there is nothing special about the cell biology of neurons compared to other cells? And it isn’t “neuroscience” to study the cell biology of neurons, it is just “accidental”? It’s not “neuroscience” unless every single experiment you ever do involves a behavioral assay?
Is this some kind of Twitter joking around I don’t get, or is this meant to be serious?

Isn’t the study of behavior ethology and not neuroscience? Yes, I know some studies straddle the line between disciplines, but behavior certainly isn’t *required*.

Unless you study pore selectivity in ion channels, you aren’t doing neuroscience. You’re basically doing ecology with animals that happen to have cells with ion channels in them.

Meh. If you’re not working on calcium-binding proteins you’re just doing phenomenology.
