Dopamine circuit, left brain, MRI: neuroscience terms have entered everyday language, and many of our difficulties are explained through the workings of the brain. But is this really true? I discuss this in this Dialogue with Albert Moukheiber.

Keywords: Today, everything, or almost everything, seems to find its explanation in the brain. Our happiness, our emotions, our addictions, our fears, our beliefs, our performance, our capacity for individual or collective change are all said to be effects of the interactions of our neurons. But this profusion of discourse about the brain—this neuromania—comes at the cost of shortcuts, approximations, and even outright falsehoods. We cannot reduce all problems to the individual and their brain, nor can we make neuroscience and cognitive science say what they do not. By making the latest studies accessible, Albert Moukheiber gives researchers a voice and separates fact from fiction in the discourse surrounding the brain. He thus frees us from many preconceived notions and makes us more insightful about ourselves and others.
