An explanatory strategy that reduces psychological, social, or cultural phenomena to neurobiological descriptions, usually of the form “[X] is nothing but Y neural.” Examples: “love is oxytocin”, “belief is a pattern of synaptic firing”, “consciousness is prefrontal cortex activity”. Neuroreductionism eliminates the [mental] and social levels of analysis, treating them as mere epiphenomena or illusions. Although explanatory reduction is legitimate in science, strong neuroreductionism is criticised for ignoring emergence, [history], and context. It commits a category error by treating [different] levels of description as if they were competing rather than complementary.
