     "First, it provides little insight into psychological phenomena... 

     Second, brains-in-love talk conflates levels of explanation.  
  
     The third thing wrong with neurobabble is that it has pernicious feedback effects on science itself.  Too much immature science has received massive funding, on the assumption that it illuminates psychology.  The idea that the neural can replace the psychological is the same idea that led to thinking that all psychological ills can be cured with drugs."
