The unreflective assertion that any phenomenon must be explained by looking inside the brain, regardless of whether the phenomenon is social, historical, or cultural. Neurocentrist dogmatism rejects the possibility of autonomous explanations at higher levels, insisting that “real” explanations are always neural. It appears in claims like “violence is caused by brain chemistry, not poverty” or “love is just oxytocin, not relationship history.” It ignores the fact that brains are embedded in bodies, societies, and environments that co‑constitute experience.
