Reinterpreting Responsiveness for Health Systems Research in Low and Middle-Income Countries.

abstract：:Many neuroscientists have claimed that our minds are just a function of and thus reducible to our brains. I challenge neuroreductionism by arguing that the mind emerges from and is shaped by interaction among the brain, body, and environment.
