Abstract
This commentary considers how far one can go in making
inferences about functional modularity or segregation, based on the
sorts of analyses used by Caplan & Waters in relation to the
underlying neuronal infrastructure. Specifically, an attempt is made
to relate the “functionalist” approach adopted in the
target article to “neuroreductionist” perspectives on
the same issue.
