Tell me about Neuroscience/Neurology. Is it a real science?

>neuroscience is science
not really. at the level of the neuron it's science, but the people working at that level are more biologists than neuroscientists. above the level of the neuron it's kind of silly. science usually involves experiments that test specific predictions made by specific hypotheses in the context of formal theories. there's nothing like a specific prediction or a formal theory in neuroscience. take the term "activation." you'll see all kinds of papers talking about activation in one part of the brain or another, but the problem is that no one can say what "activation" has to do with the brain (above the level of individual neurons). when you look closely you see that "activation" really refers to the instruments neuroscientists use, not to a meaningful aspect of the workings of the brain.
