Contributions explore the problem spaces in which knowledge from neuroscience is called upon to classify 'kinds' of people, and the ways in which these findings impact on society in a diverse range of settings. Together, they engage the social sciences and humanities with experimental neuroscience, and address fundamental questions of how to critique neuroscience in society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith illuminating insights and deep scholarly rigour, \u003ci\u003eCritical Neuroscience\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary perspective that aims to enrich our understanding of the brain as situated in the body and world, and neuroscience as embedded in a complex cultural context.\u003c\/p\u003e  Neurological thinking has extended itself into a great many spheres of life, from \"neuroanthropology\" to \"neurozoology\".
